India Takes Stand Against Dog Cruelty

Joint Secretary OP Chaudhary issues a directive urging states to halt licensing for pit bulls and aggressive breeds, following PETA India’s appeal and a Delhi High Court petition.

Crucial Protection for Vulnerable Breeds

PETA India lauds the move, emphasizing the need to protect both humans and dogs from exploitation by criminal elements, particularly in illegal dogfighting rings.

Cracking Down on Illegal Practices

While inciting dogs to fight is already illegal under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, organised dogfights persist in some regions, inflicting severe abuse on pit bulls and similar breeds. The ban on their sale and breeding aims to curb this cruelty.
