A shocking incident in Ishwardi, Pabna, where eight newborn puppies were drowned in a pond inside a sack, has sparked nationwide outrage in Bangladesh. The act, allegedly committed by a government official’s wife and her son, drew widespread condemnation after a video of the grieving mother dog went viral on social media. Authorities have canceled the official’s housing allocation and initiated an investigation. The case has reignited debate over the country’s weak animal protection laws. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2019, killing or torturing animals, including stray dogs and cats, is punishable by up to two years in prison and fines, but enforcement remains limited. Legal experts note that only authorized livestock officials can file complaints, making it nearly impossible for citizens to pursue justice. As a result, many cases are filed under the Penal Code’s Section 429, which is difficult to apply to stray animals due to valuation issues. Animal rights groups are demanding stronger legal mechanisms and accountability.
