Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,1960

 CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS.



Animals, different in nature as compared to human being but take in same mental and physical pain similar as human being. Animals belongs to this earth same as the human, they only difference living species they care about their surroundings but we humans are so into our self that to satisfy our own needs we don’t care about the nature and the other existing species life on the mother earth. On one hand we consider/ believe cow as our mother but on but on the other hand we slaughter them for our own feeding. Humans love to pet animals specially dogs and other domestic animals but show cruelty against the street dogs. With this idea, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was introduced in 1960. This Act was passed to punish the persons indulged in cruelty against the animals, establishment of the Animal Welfare Board, and for the identification of the acts amounting to cruelty against the animals.

According to the Section 2(a) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,1960: animal refers to any living creature excluding a human being. This means this not only refers to the mammals but also includes birds, reptiles etc.

Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960 talks about what acts are considered as cruel performed on the animals. Beating or torturing an animal is an offence as per the Act. It further says that all kinds of cruelties towards pet animals by their respective owners are an offence. A Fine will be imposed ranging from Rs.50 to Rs.100 or imprisonment for Three months or both, if any person tries to organize animal fights as sports or entertainment. In the end it further says that killing or maiming any animals for commercial purposes is a criminal offence.

In reality, India ranked SECOND in the Global Animal Protection Index in 2020. WHY? Because from the last six Decades our government never thought of Amending the Animal Cruelty laws.
