The Bombay High Court recently said, scaring or threatening animals by using sticks amounts to an act of cruelty and aggravates the behaviour of animals.
A division bench of justices G.S. Kulkarni and R.N. Laddha was hearing a plea by one Paromita Puthran, who provides drinking water to dogs. The court was informed that the security guards appointed by RNA Royale Park Co-operative Housing Society cause scare/threat to the animals by using sticks.
The court directed the society to entertain complaints from Ms Puthran and other members of the society in this regard, so that appropriate action can be taken against such security guards who are indulging in such actions.
