Proposed amendments to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act: FIAPO seeks stricter penalties | India News

Representative image
CHENNAI: The Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO) has asked for stricter penalties in proposed amendments to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
The central government has started stakeholder consultations to amend the PCA Act 1960, which although a post-constitutional law, is an insufficient development of the colonial law (the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 1890 Act) it replaced. For example, the punishment of Rs 50 for an offence of cruelty, dates back to the 1890 Act. In addition, the 1960 Act reduces the punishment of cruelty, pegging it across a range of Rs 10 to Rs 50 for a first-time offender and Rs 25 to Rs 100 for a repeat offender. So, FIAPO has called for stricter punishments, plugging lacunae in existing laws, graded response to reflect severity of the crime and making all crimes/offences under the PCA Act cognizable.

Amendment to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act: Union ministry invites suggestions from public | India News

Representative image
CHENNAI: Every day, cases of cruelty to animals are reported across the country. But the perpetrators often get away unscathed as the penalty for a first-time offender is a meagre Rs 50 under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act 1960.
Animal welfare activists have been trying for decades to amend the Act and pushing for more stringent penalties. And now the general public also has an opportunity to weigh in the issues. The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and the Union ministry of fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying are accepting suggestions from the public.
“On April 15, the ministry of agriculture held a webinar inviting stakeholders to discuss amendments to the PCA Act 1960,” said Chinny Krishna, co-founder, Blue Cross of India, and former vice chairman of AWBI, adding that from 1996, the AWBI had been recommending changes to the PCA Act to the government.
