The kids immediately informed the society members.

One of the puppies was found with its legs tied and eyes damaged, while another was found burnt. Two more were fetched out of a gutter, and one was recovered from under a tree. The other two bodies had started decomposing. The veterinary doctor who examined the puppies informed that the reason for the death could be assault by iron rods and wooden planks.
