Title: I’m 80, if a dog attacks me, I’ve right to defend myself: Tinnu
In an exclusive interview with Free Press Journal, veteran actor-filmmaker Tinnu Anand has come out in defense of his recent statement where he threatened to hit stray dogs with a hockey stick in his society’s WhatsApp group. Tinnu, who is 80 years old, asserted that he has every right to defend himself if any dog attacks him.
The controversy began when Tinnu shared a post in his society’s WhatsApp group saying that he would hit stray dogs that were roaming around the premises with a hockey stick. This sparked a heated debate with many residents criticizing his actions, calling it inhumane and cruel.
However, Tinnu has now come out to explain his side of the story, saying that he was only trying to protect himself. “I’m 80 years old and if any dog attacks me, I’ve every right to defend myself,” said Tinnu. He also shared a personal experience where his daughter broke her wrist while trying to save her pet dog from three stray dogs in their society.
Tinnu’s daughter had taken her pet dog out for a walk when they were suddenly surrounded by three stray dogs. In order to protect her dog, she tried to fend off the stray dogs, but unfortunately, she ended up breaking her wrist in the process. This incident left Tinnu shaken and he is now more determined than ever to take action against the stray dogs.
The veteran actor-filmmaker emphasized that his intention was never to harm the dogs, but to protect himself and others from potential harm. “I’m not asking for sympathy or applause, I’m just saying that as an 80-year-old man, I have the right to defend myself if anyone, including a dog, attacks me,” said Tinnu.
Tinnu’s statement has sparked a lively debate on social media, with many people supporting his right to defend himself while others have condemned his actions as inhumane. While some have argued that it is the responsibility of the society and local authorities to take care of stray dogs, others have pointed out that Tinnu’s actions are a clear case of vigilante justice.
As the debate continues, it is clear that the issue of stray dogs is a complex one that requires a multifaceted approach. On one hand, stray dogs can pose a threat to human safety and well-being, but on the other hand, they are also a reflection of the larger issue of animal welfare.
In an ideal world, stray dogs would not exist, and animals would be treated with the same respect and care that humans are. However, until that day comes, it is the responsibility of society to find a humane and effective way to manage the stray dog population.
In the meantime, Tinnu’s experience serves as a reminder that even the most seemingly trivial issues can have serious consequences. As an 80-year-old man, Tinnu has every right to defend himself, but his actions also highlight the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the issue of stray dogs.
The incident also raises questions about the role of society in addressing the issue of stray dogs. Should it be the responsibility of individual residents like Tinnu to take matters into their own hands, or should the society and local authorities take a more proactive approach to addressing the issue?
As the debate continues, it is clear that there is no easy solution to the problem of stray dogs. However, by highlighting the personal experiences of individuals like Tinnu, we can gain a better understanding of the complex issues involved and work towards finding a more humane and effective solution.
