Around 20 stray dogs, besides crows and poultry birds, died after consuming &lsquo;poisoned&rsquo; food near the Ganesh Mandir in Titwala on Monday night.
A case against unknown persons has been registered by Kalyan taluka police, based on a complaint by animal rights group Cheersfurever Foundation, stated a report in <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbaiin-titwala-20-dogs-and-birds-poisoned-to-death-fir-filed/articleshow/81539051.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Times of India</a>.
&ldquo;Prima facie, it looks like a case of mass poisoning of dogs. Three dog carcasses have been sent for post-mortem examination,&rdquo; assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Sudhir Kudalkar said.
Activists Chetan Chavan, Swapnil Kamble and Pratika Agarwal said that some of the carcasses were dumped in a swamp near the temple.
&ldquo;The post-mortem report is awaited, but it is apparent that the dogs were poisoned to death. The birds that fed on the food given to the strays also died,&rdquo; said honorary district animal welfare officer Mitesh Jain.
