CHAPTER 1
A] INTRODUCTION –
The animal cruelty is a nationwide problem rapidly
growing in today’s society. Cruelty means inflicting pain and
causing suffering. Animals are being beaten and starved
everyday and millions of helpless animals die each year because
of heartless owners. There are many forms of animal cruelty;
some of the most common forms are scientific research,
abandonment, and mistreatment. Scientific research is a
necessity of life, so it is said. Society needs to research to
improve economy and the products of everyday life. This is all
well and good, until something has to suffer. Many times
companies test products on animals for the safety of humans.
Monkeys, rats, mice, dogs, and cats are some of the candidates
used for laboratory research. The major problem with animal
testing is the animals usually suffer in a traumatizing
experience. Many animals endure burns, hair loss, rashes and
gashes. Some companies go as far as to place metal wires and
rods in the animal’s head. However, researchers justify this
inexcusable treatment with “it’s for science”. Yet you have to
wonder if scientists think how they would feel in that situation.
There are many companies out there that do not use
animals for testing their products. Yet these companies still
6
 7

have popular products that are bought daily by all. For instance
the company Lip Smackers, sell all kinds of lip- glosses, chap
sticks and makeup and they do not use animal to test their
products. Many parents buy these items for their children as
presents for birthdays or Christmas. Also many girls purchase
them all the time and some prefer that product to others. This
shows that you can make a good product without testing on
animals. This guide begins by describing the problem of animal
cruelty and reviewing factors that increase its risks. It then
identifies a series of questions to help you analyze your local
animal cruelty problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the
problem and what is known about these from evaluative
research and police practice. Animal cruelty is but one aspect of
the larger set of problems related to animals. This guide is
limited to addressing the particular harms created by animal
cruelty.

B] Objectives –
The following are the aims & objectives of animal cruelty –
• The animal cruelty was seen in the Indian county . Today’s
animal cruelty was rapidly growing in India.
•To increase public awareness of the abuse of animal in our
society, particularly in factory farms and to educate public
opinion to demand , by all lawful means , the abolition of all

7
 8

experiment on animals, factory farming and all others forms of

animal abuse.
•To prevent exploitation of animal.
•Neglect occurs when an owner fails to provide the animal with
adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. Severely
restricting an animal’s movement full-time by tethering it to a
stationary object or keeping the animal in a cage is the most
common, and most visible, type of neglect. Neglect is the most
common type of animal cruelty.
•Hoarding is a severe form of neglect in which the owner
accumulates an excessive number of pets, is unable to provide
even minimal standards of nutrition, sanitation, shelter, or
veterinary care, and houses the animals in extremely
overcrowded conditions. Such neglect results in illness and
starvation and may even lead to the death of the animals.
•Physical abuse refers to intentional acts that cause the animal
pain, suffering, or death. Abusive behaviors include
beating,burning, choking or suffocating, dragging, drowning
etc.

CHAPTER 3
A] Observation-
We are take a same case studies in India relating to animal
cruelty they are following -
1)Chandigarh: Four accused of animal cruelty, arrested
An FIR was lodged Saturday by Nandini Kakar, a member of
the Animal Welfare Board of India, under Section 11 (1) of the
Animal Protection Act at the Sector 49 police station. Protester

cruelty animals outside the Kendriya Vihar in sector 48
Chandigarh on Saturday, January 30 2016. (Express Photo by
Sahil Walia) Three people were arrested Saturday for allegedly
inflicting cruelty on a stray dog at Kendriya Vihar Society, Sector
48. Another accused is yet to be arrested. The incident came to
light after a video of the accused allegedly manhandling the dog
went viral on social networking sites two days ago. An FIR was
lodged Saturday by Nandini Kakar, a member of the Animal
Welfare Board of India, under Section 11 (1) of the Animal
Protection Act at the Sector 49 police station. Among the
people named in the FIR are the president of the Society, V K
Bansal, and other residents Brajesh Kaushal, Omesh and V P
Saini. While three of them are expected to be released on bail,

11
 12

Kaushal is not in town. According to animal activist Varun

Sharma, the accused mercilessly beat up a stray dog on the
evening of January 27, bundled him in a sack and then dumped
him on the Zirakpur-Patiala road. “We’have been searching for
the dog since then, and found out that he is alive. A bystander
who saw these men release the dog at the said location
confirmed, but we have been not able to locate him
thereafter,” added Sharma. Fondly addressed as ‘Tibby’, the
dog was looked after by Kendriya Vihar resident Dalbir Singh.
“My daughter was very fond of animals and she grew attached
to him. She passed away a few months ago, and my wife and I
have been taking care of him since then. He has never hurt
anyone, and would keep to himself,” said Singh, who was away
when this incident happened.
2) Case of animal cruelty rises in Delhi-
South Delhi has become a battlefield for dog haters and
pet lovers. More than six cases, where people have abducted or
killed dogs after being irked by their behaviour, have been
registered in various police stations of South and South-East
Delhi. In almost all these cases, the accused were annoyed with
their neighbours over feeding stray dogs in the locality, police
said. In one such case recently, one person stabbed a dog who
was involved in a fight with his pet dog. A case was registered in
12
 13

the Vasant Kunj police station on Sunday, police said. "A man
identified as Deepak allegedly killed a dog named Rocky after
seeing his pet dog being attacked by his neighbour's dog.
Deepak stabbed the dog to save his pet from another pet dog.
The pet dog's owner filed a complaint with the police against
Deepak and a case was registered under two sections of the IPC
apart from Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act," a police
officer said. According to the complainant Anil Kumar, his pet
dog had a fight with Deepak's pet dog on Saturday night around
11 pm. Deepak, who was annoyed as Anil's dog had bitten his
pet dog, stabbed Rocky in front of Anil's house on Saturday
night around 11 pm even as Anil's brother looked on. Anil
immediately made a PCR call after which a PCR van took the
injured dog to a hospital in Rajokari. The doctor asked Anil to
take Rocky to a Gurgaon hospital where the dog died after
receiving an injection,
the complainant said. Similarly, Delhi Police have registered
two separate cases in Saket police station and Malviya Nagar
police station in the past two months regarding animal cruelty.
In one of the cases, a dentist living in Nizamuddin East got so
irritated with seven dogs from his neighbourhood that he
abducted five of them before dumping them somewhere else.
The police identified the accused after analyzing CCTV footing
and recovered three doges.A case was registered under charges

13
 14

of theft and under the prevention of cruelty to animal act.

3) Vasant Kunj has the most animal abuse cases-

According to experts, animal cruelty cases are not only
increasing, but surprisingly enough, occur the most in posh
areas like localities of South Delhi.
. . While the viral video of a man hurting a dog caused outrage
recently, the number of cases involving cruelty to animals in
NCR is increasing at an alarming rate. There is no central agency
where all these cases can be documented, but People for the
Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA), People for Animals (PFA),
Friendicoes and other NGOs and welfare organisations report
constant complaints regarding animal cruelty. The cases
registered by these organisations suggest 80% of these cases
occur in South Delhi. . . 150 registered cases, 300 unreported
cases daily? . "These people have no hearts. They want Delhi to
become a dog-free, pigeon-free city. Every day, 150 cases are
filed with NGOs across Delhi where someone has poisoned the
neighbour's dog, mixed harmful chemicals in drinking water
meant for pigeons or beaten up stray dogs. Around 300 cases
are not registered with the police," estimates Gauri Maulekhi,
adviser to Maneka Gandhi. "I've filed at least 10 FIRs with the
police in 2015 alone. I filed at least six cases last year. The
number of daily calls and complaints is around seven-eight. If

14
 15

I'm filing 10-15 FIRs, then just imagine how many FIRs must be
filed from people all over Delhi!" says Sonya Ghosh, convener,
Friendicoes. "Every day, I get around 10 calls regarding animal
abuse - be it strays, pets or wildlife. Illegal breeding complaints
come almost every day too," adds Gaurav Sharma, an NGO
worker who is attached to People For Animal and Sai Ashram,
Delhi.
. Vasant Kunj most vulnerable?
. A compilation of FIRs registered at police stations by
Friendicoes's active member and convenor Sonya Ghosh
suggest that from February to June this year, there have been
roughly 10 FIRs filed in South Delhi's Amar Colony, Vasant Kunj,
Neb Sarai and Malviya Nagar per day. Vasant Kunj had the
highest number of complaints. "Out of those 10 phone calls
every day, 70% of them are from Vasant Kunj and other parts of
South Delhi and 30% are from West Delhi's Rohini, Dwarka etc,"
added Gaurav. Maulekhi adds, "The highest number of dog
poisoning cases are from South Delhi. The posh areas like
Vasant Kunj, Saket and Malviya Nagar have regular animal
abuse cases registered."
. . Mar gaya toh kya? Kutta hi toh hai !
. According to NGO workers and welfare organisations'
members, the police are reluctant to register the cases. "The
police can be quite unresponsive. One officer got a case of a
15
 16

man killing his neighbour's dog for meat and he said, 'Kutta hi
toh hai, meat kha liya toh kya ho gaya?' With such negative
responses, people feel it's pointless to go to the police, file a
complaint and get needlessly harassed," Gaurav revealed.
Sonya says, "The police can be very unhelpful. In the last six
months, no steps were taken against the offenders."
. . What do the police say?
. A senior police official, requesting anonymity, said, "We have
met animal activists from time to time to discuss the issues
they face and in many cases, we have filed FIRs. We are there
to enforce laws and we take corrective action wherever it's
needed. But many a time, there is a difference between what
the laws are and what the ground reality is."
. . Cruelty to animals is a punishable crime
. Experts say that most of the time, a person who is cruel to
animals in his or her childhood becomes a criminal and can be
violent to both animals and humans in his or her adult years.
Hurting animals is a punishable offense under Section 11 of the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960 and Section
428 and Section 429 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860.
Imprisonment can be of a maximum period of five years or fine
or both under the Indian Penal Code, if found guilty under the
PCA Act. "It is unfortunate that in spite of having a proper law,
offenders get away with their crimes by giving `10-50 of fine to

16
 17

the police," says Bhubaneshwari Gupta, campaign advisor, PETA

India.

CHAPTER 4
A] Recommendation-
How we are stop the animal cruelty?
1) Make a commitment never to buy any animal from a pet
market.
2) Inform your local forest department about illegal markets.
3) If you know of a place where such fights of animals are
organised , inform your local SPCA or complain to the
police immediately.
4) Several peacocks were released into the forests . We are
save our wild animal and cant use for entertainment
purpose .
5) Inform to local police when animal races was organised in
our area.
6) Fight for cruelty when we are seen animal harassment.

CHAPTER 5
A] Summery & Conclusion-
According to the Humane Society, there are two kinds of
animal cruelty: direct violence and neglect.
1)Direct violence
Signs include open wounds, multiple scars, limping, or
difficulty walking. Many dogs that suffer direct violence will also
display behaviors such as hiding, walking with their head down
and tail between their legs, or cringing when people approach,
but since those can also occur for other reasons, those
behavioral signs alone shouldn’t be taken as definitive proof
that a dog is being hurt. Neglect. Most people don’t go so far as
to actually lay hands on their dog to hurt them. As above we
are seen in cases of Dehli and Chandigarh case there was also
happened the cruelty of animal and make a harassments.
2)Controlling cruelty
So what do you do if you notice an animal that appears to
be suffering from one or more of these issues? Call your local
animal welfare agency immediately. In most areas, someone
18
 19

from the local animal control agency, humane organization, or

animal shelter will be responsible for investigating and
enforcing the local anti-cruelty laws, but if you don’t know
who’s in charge in your city or town, you can always call the
local police non-emergency number to find out who to report
the cruelty to. Also, in many locales, 311 connects directly to
city services, who will know where to direct you.
3)Fighting cruelty
Of course, the best way to fight cruelty is to teach as many
people as possible how their pets should be treated — and
what they should never ever do. Parents and educators should
teach children how to safely and humanely interact with
animals at an early age, as well as how they can tell if an animal
is being harmed and what to do about it. You can help spread
the word by utilizing your own community to do so.. The more
often that abusive individuals are punished, the less likely
others are to do the same thing.
4)Acts
Animal Protection Act –
The Animal Protection Act under the section 11 in that act
protect the animals from any cruelty in any places of India.
Punishment was given for who violated this act for fine or
arrest .
19
 20

Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act 1960 -

A person who is cruel to animals in his or her childhood
becomes a criminal and can be violent to both animals and
humans in his or her adult years. Hurting animals is a
punishable offense under Section 11 of the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960 and Section 428 and Section
429 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860. Imprisonment can be
of a maximum period of five years or fine or both under the
Indian Penal Code, if found guilty under the PCA Act. "It is
unfortunate that in spite of having a proper law, offenders get
away with their crimes by giving `10-50 of fine to the police.
