Draft of rules has been pending since 2018, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says
More than 100 veterinarians across the country have petitioned Parshottam Rupala, Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, for notifying rules to prohibit the use of animals in circuses.
The draft of these rules had been pending since 2018, prolonging the cruelty, pain and suffering endured by circus animals, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said.
In their appeal, the veterinarians cited numerous reasons why circuses must be barred from using animals. The reasons include keeping animals in severe confinement like chaining elephants when not in use, tying horses and camels almost constantly in place, and caging dogs.
