There should be differentiation between pet animals, draught animals, commercial animals for food, animals for performance and entertainment, and zoo animals, says head of Poultry Federation of India

As the last date to submit views and opinions on the draft Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amendment) Bill ended on December 7, questions have been raised, particularly by poultry farmers and farmers, on the lack of clarity in defining cruelty and on the provisions for penalties. The draft Bill was prepared after demands by animal welfare activists that the 1960 Act was not enough to address the rising cases of cruelties against animals.

One major point by those who have raised objections against the Bill is the Amendment of Section 30 of the original Act, which says, “If any person is charged under the provisions of section 11B for an offence of killing an animal and if the body or any part of the body of such animal is found in his possession, then it shall be presumed that such person has committed the offence with which he has been charged until the contrary is proven, the burden for which shall lie on the accused”. Ranpal Dhanda, president, Poultry Federation of India told The Hindu that the proposed law is vague and will lead to more confusion and litigation. “Such provisions will impact our sector,” he said.
