As part of the celebration of Animal Welfare Fortnight, IDA India held a Workshop on Laws to Prevent Cruelty to Animals. The aim was to try and understand the laws better and also figure out how to implement them when dealing with cruelty cases.
With two High Court Advocates, Mr Ashok Shahani and Ms Jennifer Michael, and the well-known activist, Mr Ajay Marathe, to guide us through the legal maze, the Workshop proved to be quite a success.
Participants were divided into groups and given various cases to deal with. After a fixed time, each Group Leader made a presentation of the case and how they had dealt with it. With valuable input from our three experts, we all came away with some idea of how to react in a difficult situation re cruelty.
The entire process will appear on our website, as our experts are still providing answers to questions re difficult situations which are quite common to all when it comes to animal suffering. That day we learnt some more about how we can go about stopping different kinds of cruelty. All our participants were inspiring in their own right. All of them quiet champions for the animals in their various localities.
