Horse: injured and abused, horse rescued from Maidan | Kolkata News

Kolkata: Following an FIR filed by the Cape Foundation highlighting the cruelty suffered by a horse used for transporting Victorian-style carriages and for weddings in Kolkata, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India intervened to save the animal in the Maidan. The horse showed alarming signs of abuse, including untreated wounds, swollen limbs and severe weakness. Equine specialists determined that the festering wounds were likely caused by ill-fitting and synthetic saddles and that swelling and serious injuries to the animal’s legs were caused by working on hard roads. The horse was taken to a shelter run by Animal Rahat, an organization recognized by the Animal Welfare Board of India, with the help of Peta India. The cooperation of the Maidan Police facilitated the seizure of the horse in need for emergency medical care. “The use of horse-drawn carriages in Calcutta has injured animals and caused road accidents. We call on authorities to follow Mumbai’s example by replacing horse-drawn carriages with classic-style electric vehicles,” said Khushboo Gupta, Advocacy Director, Peta India.
