Subject: Jallikattu and bullock cart races: Replace PCA Act, 1960 and AWBI: Issue Ordinance.

Greetings,

As per section 11, sub section (3) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 "Nothing in this

section shall apply to - (a) the dehorning of cattle, or the castration or branding or noseroping of

any animal in the prescribed manner", likewise bull and oxen were allowed to perform and display

in films and TV serials then Why AWBI crying for Jallikattu and bullock cart races, when the

motto of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act 1960 as amended in 1982, is to prevent

infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering on animals, besides it ban animal species foreign shoot

are allowed by the AWBI, likewise display of bull and oxen are also being allowed by the Sub

Committee of AWBI.

Animal Welfare Party in the opinion that India is a animal welfare state and we can use animals

but bullock cart and use of oxen in agriculture purpose became outdated then where we can use

male calves, bulls and oxen, AWBI totally failed to perform towards controlling animal abuse due

to toothless PCA Act, 1960, if this Act be replaced with strong legislation's then no one can dare to

abuse animals, whereas AWBI failed to rescue a single tamed bulls during 2011-2016, neither status

report was prepared nor any mechanism developed for rescue and rehabilitation of tamed, jobless

bulls then AWBI lost their credibility became a B team of foreign based PETA and HSI, only they

are creating problems and public nuisance, spoiling social fabric, culture under influence of

butcher lobby because these jobless tamed bulls became easy target for slaughter houses hence

Animal Welfare Party support use of animals without unnecessary pain and sufferings with

respect. It would also be pertinent to mention here that Naresh Kadyan raised his voice to amend

toothless PCA Act, 1960 during 1999-2000, which was followed by others till drafting Animal

Welfare Act, 2011, hence either place bill for replacement of PCA Act, 1960 and to Introduce

National Commission for Animal Welfare with judicial powers replacing AWBI or to issue

ordinance, suspending section 22 of the PCA Act, 1960.
