Animal lovers, pet owners voice concern over rising veterolegal cases
A couple of days ago while cuddling her pet cat, Parvathy Ramesh, a boutique owner living at Cheruparambath Road in Kadavanthra, came up against an object stuck beneath its neck.
The skin there was found peeled and when pressed, blood trickled down. Alarmed, she rushed the three-year-old to a pet hospital where initially, a surgery was prescribed before being called off as the object eased off the body without any intervention.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
