YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, popularly known as ‘Flying Beast’, has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding the death of his pet dog , Mau. In a video titled ‘What really happened to Mau: the controversy’, Taneja denied allegations of animal cruelty and neglect, and questioned the evidence behind claims circulating on social media.
Taneja also defended the conditions at his farmhouse, saying that Mau had access to food, other animals and people taking care of him. He claimed the farm had a full-time cook, caretakers and a veterinary doctor who visited regularly. Taneja further claimed that Mau had received medical treatment before his death. “We went to five hospitals and consulted many doctors.
We have a veterinary doctor at our farmhouse who visits every day,” he said. Taneja said that he was willing to provide medical and financial records if those raising questions could establish their claims. “I will give you the exact proof: doctors’ reports, hospital reports, UPI bills, how much was paid, exact videos, exact photographs, when he was taken where, what happened, what disease he had — everything,” he said. “You were fired from your job, and only then did you become concerned about Mau?” he said.
Taneja also questioned why those who allegedly witnessed Mau’s condition while working at the farm did not raise the issue earlier.
The controversy began after Choudhary shared a series of Instagram videos questioning Mau’s treatment at Rosier Farms.
He alleged that Mau, a Labrador who had previously featured regularly in Taneja’s family vlogs, had stopped eating shortly before his death and did not receive adequate care.
