Re: RAJASTHANI ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANISATION TO ORGANISE ELEPHANT

POLO TOURNAMENT

 

 

There are three prior legal requirements that need to be complied with: i)

the person who owns the elephant should possess an ownership certificate

granted by the Chief Wildlife Warden of the State, of which the owner is an

ordinary resident. ii) If the elephant is from outside the state, than the

owner needs to have a transfer certificate issued by the CWW of the state to

which the animal has been brought. iii) Polo being an event/performance the

owner needs to have the permission of the AWBI/Director Animal Welfare,

MOEFunder the PCA (Performance of Animals) Rules. Are there any studies

undertaken to evaluate the kind of training an elephant needs to undergo

inorder to do a polo performance.If these studies are available, please

forward them to AWBI/Director, Animal Welfare, MOEF with your views on the

issue.

Raj.
