In his letter, Chahal, therefore, lashed out on outdated laws of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

According to the law formulated in 1960, the government can charge the fine of rupees 50 convicted for the first time in the offence.

“Sadly, reports indicate cows, dogs, and other animals across the country are enduring routine abuse. Such as being beaten, poisoned, attacked with acid, and even sexually assaulted,” Chahal wrote.

 

“If those guilty of cruelty to animals received significant fines, jail time, and counseling and were forbidden from having contact with animals. It would better ensure that living, feeling beings are safe. And hopefully treated with the compassion and respect they deserve,” Chahal added.

The 28-year-old leggy believes that if the government deals such activities, it will subsequently ensure safety for humans as well.
