Dog chase video: PETA, animal rights activists slam field staff of IPL
Hindustan TimesPeople for the Ethical Treatment of Animals India, on Wednesday, reacted to how field staff at a recent IPL match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians removed a dog that had entered the field.

PETA India slammed the “reprehensible and 100 per cent unsportsmanlike act of chasing, kicking, and punching a lost and confused dog who inadvertently entered the stadium, likely afraid”.
