Cruelty towards animal put you in jail - PFA Haryana
Naresh Kadyan, Representative of OIPA in India | 25.01.2009 11:41
People are not sensitive towards animal rights & their welfare, where as enforcement agencies do not know the laws related to animals here in India. If a person commits any crime against animals as per section 3, 11 (except three sub sections cognizable) & 38 then administration have to obtain a arrest warrant from the competent court & the punishment is very minor, that's why people do not bother this act. PFA Haryana & OIPA INDIA demands the immediate review & amendments....
