Kathmandu (Nepal), Sep 05 (ANI): Animal activists in Nepal on Wednesday gathered at Maitighar Mandala to protest against the recent incident of killing of cows and dogs in Surkhet and Khotang District. About 25 cows were found dead and over 100 were thrown off the slopes in Nepal's Surkhet district last week. On the other hand, municipal officials in Khotang were seen killing a dog brutally in a video. The incidents enraged the public who carried out a protest in the capital Kathmandu. They were seen holding placards and banners decrying inhuman behaviour against animals. Even though a complaint has been filed against the suspects involved in the incidents, the rage among the locals has not died down yet. Activists at the protest outlined the grave condition of animals in Nepal, claiming that the government itself is violating the provisions of animal right laws. Activists during the protest held placards and chanted slogans against animal brutality.
