*SPCA’s writ petition admitted High Court round-up *

 

Kochi: A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Tuesday admitted a

writ petition seeking a directive to the State government and other

respondents to take steps to implement the provisions of the Animal Birth

Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001.

 

The petition filed by A.G. Babu, secretary, Society for Prevention of

Cruelty to Animals, Idukki, was admitted by a vacation Bench comprising

Justice C.N. Ramachandran Nair and Justice Antony Dominic.

 

The petition sought to ensure that the procedure regarding the capture,

sterilisation, immunisation and release of street dogs as prescribed under

Rule 7 of the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001, is strictly followed

throughout the State.

 

The petitioner pleaded that a directive be issued to the local bodies to

stop killing of stray dogs in any manner except the manner prescribed by the

Rule 9.

 

He said that the menace posed by street dogs was on the rise.

 

Instead of complying with the statutory prescriptions and controlling the

birth of stray dogs, steps were taken to capture the dogs and kill them by

injecting poison or by other methods.

 

The local bodies did not have any system for keeping the captured animals,

isolating the rabid ones and allowing them to die a natural death or

euthanising the mortally wounded or incurably ill dogs.

 

The failure to implement the laws for preventing cruelty to animals and

safeguarding the human beings amounted to an act of cruelty to animals.
