AWBI advisory to Centre; eight of 27 circuses are registered in Kerala or owner is a Keralite The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has advised the Centre to pass a legislation banning animals in circuses.
The recommendation comes on the heels of inspections conducted by the AWBI following orders of the Delhi High Court based on a petition filed by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India.
Acting on a directive of the Delhi High Court, the AWBI recently cancelled the performing animal registration certificates of five circuses and directed the respective State government to rescue and rehabilitate the animals.
