The scary looking animal was a Monkey which has now died following an acid attack from a hater.

The monkey suffered serious injuries after he was doused with acid and neither the animal lovers nor animal doctors could save him.

Veterinary doctor Deepa Katyal said: "The type of injuries the monkey had indicated that some sort of acid or chemical had been thrown on it as its chest was completely burnt".

She said ‘Moreover, since the injury was old, maggots had eaten most of the flesh. It had burns on its face and hands as well, which were completely scabbed.

She said the monkey was completely dehydrated and in a lot of agony.

Agony is one word animal lovers hate for their pet.

Expectedly, animal lovers claim the monkey could have been saved if the Thane Forest Control Room had acted on advice that they would need specialist equipment earlier.

But Pawan Sharma, president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare said: ‘We saw fresh wounds on the monkey but since it was still extremely active and agile, it was difficult to rescue it and we immediately told the control room that we needed experts to rescue it,’ Pawan Sharma, president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare".

 

several incidents involving wild animal has been frequent in the news in recent times.  Either a lion or tiger is emerging from the woods to prowl the streets and attack people, or an elephant has ran amok, attacking and trampling on people and properties.

 

There are also too many unclaimed often stray dogs in Indian streets.
