Life on the streets is ugly and challenging for strays. Apart from the lack of food and exposure to diseases, they would also have to face the wrath of cruel individuals who mistreat them without any remorse.

The reason behind the abuse isn’t apparent, but the attacker was likely attempting to deter the dog from nearing his property. At the moment, there are many ways to deal with strays, but abuse isn’t one of them.

The biggest problem here is not the strays, but the heartlessness of humans. Some of us instead take the easy way out and bash, hit, or even throw hot water on strays without feeling any guilt.
