The Common Wealth Games are going to start this year in October 2010. It is changing everyone’s live in the capital. Somethings are getting better and somethings are getting worse. One of the badly affecting things is animals’ life.
There was a rally held in Defence of Animals at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, on April 24, 2010 from 4.30pm to 9pm. This rally was mainly focused on the violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act of 1960 and other laws in force in the country.
A number of municipal bodies capture stray dogs in the most cruel manner. It causes serious injuries to them. They are either killed or released outside the city. They die a horrible death there because of unfamiliar to the area and they don’t know where to find food. They are also killed by local dogs.
The rally was focused on five specific issues:
- The need to give a massive, countrywide boost to the canine birth control program – the only effective method of sharply reducing the presence of stray dogs in streets and public places, and the provision of enough funds for expanding infrastructure, training personnel and meeting all other expenses connected with the program.
- The need for strong and effective action against illegal slaughter houses.
- The need for strict implementation of Cattle/Livestock Transport Rules.
- The prevention of atrocities on street animals and the promotion of the emerging trend toward people taking to feeding and/or caring from them.
- The need for strong police action against people who assault, harass, abuse or intimidate those feeding and taking care of stray animals.
Weconscious has come up by combining two words “WE” & “CONSCIOUS”. Thereby meaning, we the people who ought to be conscious about our rights & duties. We Conscious is a pious effort to highlight, show, and educate people of the various monsterheads of corruption, moral degradation and gross civic negligence that are rampant in our society. It’s an effort to highlight the illegalities we suffer on day to day basis.
