Video of collapsed horse gets a response - Catherine - 05-04-2025
A malnourished horse in Kolkata collapsed from the heat. Its handler is seen abusing the horse to get it to move.
A video of the incident was posted on social media by PETA. The police were alerted.
Action has been taken against the man and the horse is under medical care.

This is using social media for good. Who knows how much abuse that horse has endured. Now the horse is being cared for and the man will be dealt with.
Sometimes we can stop abuse by making the public aware of it. When we work together we are stronger.
Hopefully the horse has a better life in future.
