Popular YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, widely known as Flying Beast, is facing criticism from fans after revealing in his latest vlog that he has moved his pet dog, Mau, to a farmhouse. The YouTube video, titled 'Where is Mau?', has sparked controversy, with many fans expressing disappointment and vowing to stop watching his content.

In the vlog, Gaurav explained that his decision was influenced by a shift in his lifestyle, which no longer allows him to keep an animal in close proximity. He further shared that his father had concerns about the dog being around, citing religious reasons.

While some fans sympathised with his reasoning, others accused him of 'abandoning' Mau and failing to take responsibility for his pet.

The backlash has been growing on social media, with many questioning why he chose to part ways with Mau after previously showcasing a strong bond with the pet.

Netizens lash out at Gaurav

Reacting to his video, a user commented, "Am I the only one crying thinking about the dog’s emotions? How can humans be so selfish? You get a literally new born baby to your home, give him hope of having a new family and then one fine day you just leave him all alone. I have never wished ill on anyone but for this man and his family I do."

Another comment read, "Should have thought this before bringing him, no offense."

"Don't get a pet if you can't commit to looking after them. No religion teaches to abandon your pets, you bring them home as your own child. Grow up and own your selfishness," read another comment.

Another angry user asked, "Father comes 1st that is absolutely true but why would you get a dog in the 1st place when u knew that ur father is allergic? That time u didn't think of ur father?"

"A dog is not an object. Duniya main har cheez apni convenience ya faayde ke liye mat karo. Mat banao tamasha har cheez ka har zindagi ka," slammed another user.

A section of users also said that they are unsubscribing his channel. "Today I unsubscribed you! I was following you since years.. I couldn't even bear to hear the full explanation.. you did a paap now.. giving a family to this voiceless and abondoning Mau was extremely ruthless! Aaj bol rahe ho chahe khatam ho jaye channel.. ek din sab khatam ho jayega.. tab pata chalega! Goodbye," wrote a user.
