New Delhi, Mar 18 (ANI): Gauri Maulekhi, trustee of People for Animal Welfare, on Friday said that there was attempt made at putting an external fixator but it did not work on the police horse 'Shaktimaan' because it was too heavy. So his leg had to be amputated and a prosthetic leg has been put in place. She said that the quality of life of that horse is gone and it will not be the same for Shaktimaan, who led the Republic Day parade. She also said that the punishment for this offence was trivial since the accused would get away with a paltry fine of Rs. 50. Maulekhi added that animal welfare activists will protest and make sure that the 'Shaktimaan Bill' is presented in the next Parliament session to amend penalties of prevention of cruelty to animals act. She further said that the sacrifice of the poor animal should not go waste.
