Man reported to police for allegedly abusing dog in public



An animal rights group reported a man to the police, Monday, for violating the Animal Protection Act. He allegedly yanked aggressively on his dog's leash, lifting the animal off the ground.

The man reportedly insisted that he cannot live without the dog, but the activists convinced him to hand over ownership of the dog to the organization.

Activists say both the physical and psychological aspects of animal abuse, along with its seriousness, must be recognized to prevent animal abuse in the future.
