00:00 We bring you a significant development in the realm of animal welfare.
00:05 The central government has taken decisive action to address concerns surrounding the
00:09 import, breeding and sale of several ferocious dog breeds, including rod-billers, pit bulls,
00:16 terriers, wolfdogs and mastiffs.
00:20 This move comes in response to a series of fatal attacks by aggressive dogs, prompting
00:24 authorities to urge local bodies to refrain from issuing licenses or permits for the sale
00:31 and breeding of these breeds.
00:33 The directive, backed by the Committee of Experts and animal welfare organizations,
00:38 conveyed by an order from the Delhi High Court, underscores the immediate need for action.
00:43 Furthermore, dogs of the identified breeds currently kept as pets will be sterilized
00:48 to prevent further breeding, as emphasized by the Department of Animal Husbandry and
00:54 Daring.
00:55 The breeds listed for restriction encompasses not only purebreds but also mixed and crossbreeds,
01:03 highlighting the comprehensive nature of this initiative.
01:07 The government's action aligns with a ruling from December 6, 2023 by the Delhi High Court,
01:13 which instructed expedited decision-making in consultation with all stakeholders.
01:18 The aim is to ensure compliance with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Dog Breeding and Marketing
01:24 Rules 2017 and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Pet Shop Rules 2018, with a focus
01:31 on enforcement by local bodies and state animal welfare boards.
01:35 In closing, the importance of adhering to the Delhi High Court's order and addressing
01:39 concerns raised by citizens and animal welfare organizations cannot be overstated.
01:45 The government's proactive measures signify a commitment to safeguarding both human safety
01:51 and animal welfare in our communities.
