This is from July, but figured to raise some awareness of this horrific problem.

Chandigarh: In a shocking incident in Haryana - infamous for its skewed sex ratio - a newborn girl, wrapped in plastic, was dumped by a woman in a drain near Kaithal town, police said.

A pack of stray dogs pulled the wailing child out of the drain and started barking. This alerted passers-by who called the police.

The whole incident was caught in a CCTV installed nearby. The CCTV footage showed the woman throwing the baby and then dogs pulling out the baby girl from the drain. A police official told IANS that the incident occurred around 4am on Thursday. "The child is undergoing treatment at the Civil Hospital," he added.

The Principal Medical Officer of the hospital where the child is admitted said the baby weighs less than 1.1kg and her condition is serious at the moment of reporting.

Meanwhile, police have registered a case against the unknown woman who was seen throwing the baby girl into a drain.

"We are trying to establish the identity of the woman, who will be charged under relevant sections of the IPC (Indian Penal Code)," the police official added.

I thought at first, maybe hungry dogs dragged it out as prey, but they just stood around the baby barking till someone paid attention.

1. The stray dogs are more humane

than women who have been socialized to hate their own daughters. Damn we're a horrible species

6. Dogs are somewhat like people. There are bad dogs and there are wild dogs.

There are even deceptive dogs who will steal the roast beast off the kitchen counter or kill your chickens when no one is looking.

There are dingoes and wolves and coyotes who would eat your baby.

But I've never met a dog who will claim to be your friend and champion even as he robs you, gropes your daughters, and burns down your house.

5. I don't know how this baby survived being flung onto concrete

7. Just tossed like literal trash from a distance away. Just abhorrent. nt

8. Those dogs deserve love
