No heart. No soul. And a dead spirit. That is how some people are. Then they post Rs.100 thousand bail and go back to their life like nothing happened. No wonder nobody cares about laws in Sri Lanka.

So callous.It is so heart breaking to see the mother dog running to the puppies .She had enough time to stop.Ban her from driving for two years and ask her to work in an animal shelter as a volunteer for six months.It will teach her that animals too have a right to live.

She turned into the second puppy.

Puppies are more important than children! Typical attitude. These creatures should never be on the roads. Unlicensed, uncontrolled animals allowed to run around but the harm they cause is of no consequence to our people.

I live in the vicinity of the Sri Jayawardenapura where the then vice chancellor of the university, wearing a yellow fancy dress has all the dogs poisoned. It was not too long when the fellow was dashed to the groud and killed by an elephant in his habitat. That was real justice served. Cheers!

What's has happen to humans that live today you don't even dream of doings things like this terrible. Terrible people got no human values
romi Tuesday, 21 February 2023 09:28 AM
So sad, why do people do these things? Animals are more loving and caring compared to the heartless people like this. If you do not love animals, at least please don't harm them. A person who does not love an animal has no love even for his/her siblings or any other human being on earth.

Imprison this sick woman for a very long time. Make an example out of this pathetic human.
L Jaya Tuesday, 21 February 2023 10:08 AM
I don't want to see these inhumane acts. In our home our pet is treated like another family member. He walks everywhere, sleeps as he wishes except at night in his mattress.

Authorities not doing anything to control street dog population. Animal welfare bill is still in limbo. Many more street dogs die of hunger and disease.

If it was a deliberate act, the driver should be punished severely to teach other would be violators.
