On the night of 13 July 2020, a vicious Tiktok video of a man throwing an alive dog mercilessly off the cliff was widely circulated throughout various social media.

Within a couple of hours, it reached many animal welfare organizations and animal lovers. The incident had taken place in Lhachowk (Machapuchhre Gaunpalika) of Kaski district. A woman's plight can be heard in the background but it falls on deaf ears as the man throws the white dog.

The use of animals in videos to increase audience is not new. Numerous YouTubers and TikTokers had to take the heat for animal cruelty in the videos. Making a video for fun while someone is suffering is not accepted.

It was an owned dog. How inhumane should one be to get rid of the dog who spent its entire life with you by throwing him off a hill, alive?

The Criminal Code Clause 27, Article 290 states that if anyone is found guilty including abandoning owned pets, it is punishable by 3 months of a jail sentence and /or a fine of Rs 5,000.
