MUMBAI: The Coronavirus pandemic has led to paranoia in the minds of some people. With the lockdown being extended to May 3, 2020, now, distress among everyone has increased. While the government has assured to keep the supply of food and essential goods in place, the panic among many is palpable. However, the real sufferers amidst all the chaos, are stray animals. Yes, animal cruelty has become a topic of grave discussion during the COVID 19 lockdown in India. They are not being fed as false rumours stating that animals are carriers of COVID-19 started spreading. The problem is only increasing with each passing day, and many innocent animals are losing their lives.
