A video of a man harassing a dog in Chhattisgarh and a cow trying to stop him has gone viral on the Internet.

In the footage, a man in a checked shirt and black trousers is seen pulling the dog by its neck while it is wailing till a cow pushes the helpless dog away.  Then the cow begins to attack the man. Netizens on social media described this as “instant karma.”

The video went viral on twitter with 3,000 retweets and more than 1.2 lakh views. In the video, the cow was seen mauling the man, pushing him to the ground where he rolled around helplessly for a few seconds before the clip ended.

Indian Forest Service Officer Susanta Nanda also posted the clip on social media and captioned the post ‘karma’.

Netizens shared their views on twitter and criticized the man harassing the dog.  Others pulled up the person who filmed the incident without trying to help the animal.

Animal abuse is not at all fair and should not be tolerated under any circumstances. Therefore, it is important to intervene in a situation where an animal is abused, tortured for entertainment purposes. Unfortunately, human intervention is not always possible. But nature has its own way of sending unexpected defenders.

This is not the first time a video of instant karma has gone viral on social media. Earlier, an Instagrammer showing off a gun and some cash in order to get some attention on social media was arrested by the police.

British fighter Ben Doster also learned a painful, and public, lesson last month in the co-main event of BFC1, where he took on Dagestani Umakhan Ibragimov. The fight only lasted five seconds and ended in one of the most brutal head kick knockouts seen recently in any mixed martial arts event.
