Guilty to animals article

Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi once rightly said, “The greatness of a nation is judged by the way it treats its animals.” The history of the movement in the context of protecting the rights of animals dates back to the 3rd century when Ashoka explicitly banned the killing of any animal in his kingdom.
But in today’s competitive world, no heed is paid to basic morals and ethos and in a rat-race to earn more and easy money, animals become the targets. They are exploited since they are mute spectators and are incapable of raising their voice against these cruelties.
To (or “intending to”) curb the menace of cruelty against animals, various laws have been initiated by the Central Government, but the main laws concerning prevention of animal cruelty are the ‘Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960′ and Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Under the former act, police have all powers to arrest an offender who is found to be involved in an illegal activity or even involved in cruelty against animals. The act also provides a provision wherein a private individual under the provisions of Section 43 of Cr.P.C. can detain or cause to detain such individual involved in any such act.
