As per section 3, 11 and 38 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 - cruel treatment with the animals is a non-cognizable crime in legal terms with minor punishment for rest of India except Jammu and Kashmir but as per Jammu and Kashmir Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1990 also protect these animals from un-necessary pain and sufferings but the punishment defined very minor for the violation of the said act.
The International Organization for Animal Protection - OIPA in India in the opinion that 370 provisions are the political compulsions then why animal suffered due to 370 special status for the state, People for Animals (PFA) Haryana raised this issue under the right to information act, 2005 with the Speaker Lok Sabha but no attention given to resolve the issue yet by the central, J&K Govt. as well.
