Legal Notice Served to CPCA Over Stray Dog Treatment
A lawyer sent a notice to an animal care facility (CPCA) because they didn't help a sick stray dog.
The lawyer says the staff were mean and didn't want to treat the dog, possibly even threatening to put it down.
The CPCA says they followed rules, the dog might have had a contagious disease, and they didn't have space.
The lawyer also showed a report that contradicts this.
The CPCA claims the lawyer left the dog without completing required paperwork.
Advocate Prashant Nayak served a legal notice to CPCA Thane on behalf of Reema Jeetsingh Chawla.
The notice concerns the alleged denial of treatment to a stray dog on August 28, 2025.
The notice accuses CPCA staff of indecent behavior and misdiagnosis without proper testing.
CPCA denies the allegations, citing operational limitations and the potential for Canine Distemper.
A medical report provided by the advocate specified the dog did not test positive for canine distemper.
