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.

Threat of anti-microbial resistance looms large with the profligate use of antibiotics and insecticides for cultivation. A study of aquaculture farms across 10 States, which account for the bulk of India’s production, has found “hazardous” levels of metals such as lead and cadmium in all of them. Profligate use of antibiotics and insecticides for cultivation and the threat of anti-microbial resistance have contributed making aquaculture a “ticking time bomb,” according to the authors of the study commissioned by the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO) and All Creatures Great and Small (ACGS).
