India: Four Arrested for Gang-Raping a Monitor Lizard

When India is told they are supposed to care about the Ukraine a lot and really cry for them, it is very easy for them to say “things are tough all over.”

Four men have been arrested after one of the accused’s phones was discovered to contain a video of them gang-raping a Bengal monitor lizard at the Sahydari Tiger Reserve in Maharashthra, India.

CCTV footage from the Maharashtra Forest Department showed the four men lurking around the forest and trespassing into the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve, which was created by the Indian government in 2008 to conserve Bengal tigers.

Forest guards initially only caught one of the accused, while the others fled. The remaining three were later found in Hativ village in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Officials said the men came to Kolhapur’s Chandoli village from Konkan to hunt.

The four hunters have been identified as Sandeep Tukram, Pawar Mangesh, Janardhan Kamtekar and Akshay Sunil.

The case was taken to the Indian Penal Court to discuss proper legal action and charges against the four men. According to the Indian Penal Code, Section 377 states that anyone who voluntarily commits intercourse with an animal “shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.”

Life in prison is probably too kind for men who would gang-rape a lizard. These laws are probably meant to deal with men who have sex with goats.

The point is: India has a lot of problems, which Westerners can’t really imagine. So it becomes even more ridiculous when they are told they need to devote themselves to the suffering of the Ukrainians because of “our values of a democracy.”
