Netizens Voice Discontent Over Gaurav Taneja’s Decision Regarding His Pet Dog
Gaurav Taneja, widely known on YouTube as Flying Beast, is currently facing significant criticism across social media platforms. Taneja recently uploaded a vlog on his YouTube channel where he disclosed that he resolved to relocate his pet dog, Mau, to a farmhouse due to alterations in his personal lifestyle. He further elaborated that his father raised concerns about the dog’s presence in light of religious beliefs.
Shortly after the release of the vlog titled ‘Where Is Mau?’, viewers expressed their frustration. Many accused Taneja of acting in a self-centered manner, while others denounced him and indicated they would unsubscribe from his channel in protest.
“Am I the only one crying thinking about the dog’s emotions? How can humans be so selfish? You bring a newborn animal into your home, give them hope of belonging to a new family, and then abruptly leave them alone,” one user lamented, expressing deep sympathy for the dog. Another added, “A dog is not just an object. You shouldn’t treat life choices based on convenience or personal gain. Think before you decide to bring one home.” A third user chimed in with, “If you cannot commit to caring for a pet, you shouldn’t get one. No belief system justifies abandoning animals; you adopt them as part of your family.”
