Amendments in the Prevention of Cruelty against animals act 1960
The Issue
Every day, we wake up to dreadful news of either an abuse or Killing of an animal. The whole nation is fuming. Recently, we were agitated by two back to back cases, First, where an innocent pup “bhadra” was thrown off the terrace by two psychotic medical students. Then, not even a month passed we saw another jittery video being surfaced on social media posted by inhumane culprits while burning 3 puppies alive in Hyderabad, shaming the whole humanity. The maximum no of animals abuse cases reported have been of dogs, so far. Yet, other animals have also faced assaults by humans. Shaktiman, a brave horse of Uttarakhand Police, who died of succumbing to injuries during the clash of a political party with police near Legislative assembly in Dehradun. Hence, the culprits get away with not even a punishment of slap on the wrist. The perpetrators are getting away by paying mere 50 rupees, with not even a jail of 24 hours. We need to change this.
In 2014, In United States of America, The Oregon Supreme Court passed a ruling that changed the way animals are treated under the law in California. The ruling will ensure that any animal can be seen as a legal “victim” in a case, affording animals more basic rights to protect them from abuse. Seems, we also need to review our policies to safeguard animal rights. Animals are equally loved by Mother Earth, as humans.
Now, with a sudden rise in assaults on animals, the time is pleading the honorable legislature to make urgent amendments in Chapter 3 "CRUELTY TO ANIMALS GENERALLY" of Prevention of Cruelty against animals act 1960 to protect animals and their rights.
Please review the suggestions to be considered for amendments in the act.
1. Minimum two years of imprisonment or more
2. Pay a minimum fine of 20,000 or more, depending on the severity of harm caused.
3. Take full responsibility of the victimized animal, pay for the treatment, and take care unless an adoption is offered.
4. Punishment of compulsory volunteering for animal care for 5 years.
5. Local Governments must build shelters in every city to give decent lives to stray animals with proper veterinary clinic, Maintain Health cards and relevant details.
