Animal Rights Act Should Be Enforced By Indian Government

By: Anu

Well, Government has already enforced various acts for the smooth functioning of the society such as environment protection act, Factory act, companies act etc. But just as Human rights act, animal rights act should be enforced by the Indian government.

The recent news headline that a pregnant elephant died after consuming a pineapple stuffed with crackers forces the government to take the decision regarding the enforcement of animal rights act. The most important reason to enforce this act will be to stop all kinds of tortures that are against the animals and to provide all the basic rights to them (animals).  Other reasons to enforce this act may include to stop cruelty against animals, to prevent delivering of unnecessary pains and sufferings on animals, for the safety of animals etc. 

Various provisions with respect to (related to) animals should be placed on different sections of the act. For instance, various sources of food and nutrition required by them, shelter, minimum area that should be provided to them for their recreation, health issues etc. It should also contain the instructions as animals will not be harmed, trapped, beaten, killed, multilated, transported by any individual. Rights of animals should be clearly stated in a separate section of the act as in human rights act. Some provisions similar to human rights act should also be taken into account (consideration). Some instructions for the owners of animals and stray animals must be there in the act. According to the act, animals as pets should be sold to those who takes their full responsibility and treats them kindly. There should be ban on animal testing and dissection of animals. And many other necessary provisions related to animals needs to be placed under this act.

Through this act, animals will be protected and there will be a healthy balance in our ecosystem. Unnecessary and useless tortures to animals will also reduce.

There will be strict punishment for those who go against (oppose, contradicts) the any of the provisions of the act. For instance, Any individual fails to comply (obey) with or contravenes (break a rule or law) any of the provisions of the act should be punishable with imprisonment (act of putting in prison, jail) of two years with lifetime ban on keeping pets.  

It is the need of the hour that animals rights act should be enforced and implemented by the government immediately so that animal abuse can be stopped or eliminated and the lives of many animals can be saved.
