Hyderabad: Five minor boys burn 3 puppies alive, record video

From the video it appears that the boys played with the pups for sometime in the afternoon and then started a fire for fun. Then the boys dragged the three pups by their tails and hurled them into the fire. The blood-curling cries of the puppies could be heard in the video which someone uploaded on Facebook.

The boys took turns using sticks to push back the crawling puppies back into the fire, and watched them burn alive.
Animal lovers and activists who watched the video lodged a complaint at Mushreerabad Police Station. An official said that the five were minors and they were sent for counselling.

This development comes weeks after two final year MBBS students threw a dog from the terrace of a three-storey building. The incident was first reported after students uploaded the video footage on social media and it went viral.
