INCREASE THE PENALTY FOR ANIMAL ABUSE INDIA

The Issue

Stray animals and domestic animals, all have equal rights as humans. This planet was made equal for them as for us, Humans. They have equal right on each and every resource on this planet. But....Humans have tried to bring everything under their control including animals. 

Animals feel pain equally as humans but humans don't realize it. Our country, India, only charges 50 rupees as a penalty for animal abuse. Is that enough? Is that what animal abusers will be scared off? Not really. 

50 rupees has a small value in today's world...

Through this petition, Voiceless India, asks the Indian government and the supreme court to increase this penalty. Voiceless India asks the Indian Government and the supreme court to make the penalty equal to the penalty a criminal has to pay for an assault on a human (person). In an increasingly urbanized world, animals need our support. If we claim ourselves to be the most dominant species on the planet, we need to take the responsibilities that come with this dominance. We need to make criminals pay for abuse, whether it is on humans or animals.
