INSANE: Pet shop rules to be strictly enforced minister | Vintage Vibes

The State Animal Welfare Board has recommended strict enforcement of the Pet Shop Rules and the Dog Breeding Rules in the State and reconstitute the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in all districts.

The board met on Thursday to discuss the stray-dog issue. Briefing the media on its decisions, Minister for Animal Husbandry J. Chinchurani said a notification regarding the enforcement of the Pet Shop Rules and the Dog Breeding Rules would be issued.

''Majority of the pet shops in the State are unlicensed. We will recommend to the government that such shops be issued licences by the panchayats concerned,'' she said.
