The video highlights how seriously people in some communities take cruelty against stray dogs, to the extent that they take justice into their own hands. It also brings attention to growing concerns around street dog attacks and community safety in India. Reactions online have been mixed.
In this case, the community responded to violence with violence, something that is against the law.
