YouTuber ties pet dog with helium balloons to make it ‘fly’, gets arrested for animal cruelty

A 32-year-old YouTuber named Gaurav Sharma (Gaurav John, according to a report by India.com) has been arrested after a video of him making his dog float up in the air with the help of helium balloons went viral on social media. The YouTuber has been charged under Sections 188, 269, 34 of the Animal Cruelty Act.

The Malvia Nagar police acted against Gaurav Sharma and his mother after a complaint was filed against the duo. The complaint was filed after the animal welfare organisation People For Animals (PFA) raised the issue.

“YouTuber Gaurav Sharma arrested for cruelty to an animal after he posted a video on social media where he floated up a pet dog in the air by tying hydrogen balloons on its back, risking its life”, ANI quoted DCP South Atul Thakur as saying.

1. The Dog Is Pretty High Up

Has to be approaching 25' off the ground.
If something went sideways that dog could get killed.
A dumb stunt.

2. They should tie balloons to him

and send him up in the air.

What an asshole.

3. That monster deserves jail

as well as life long "check-ins" with a psychiatrist and the police. His whereabouts should be monitored. He is a danger both to people and animals. People that do this sort of BS to their pets need to be held as criminals and not allowed to have any pets. He has mental issues.

5. Agree💯 with you!

4. What a dumb asshole.

Sometimes I think you should have to get a license to have a pet.

Fucking cruel and stupid.
