Gauhati HC bans buffalo and bulbul fights
December 22, 2024
|The Sunday Guardian
The Gauhati High Court has prohibited buffalo and bulbul fights in Assam following a petition by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
-
The ruling overturned a Standard Operating Procedure issued by the Assam government on December 27, 2023, which allowed these fights during January.
Justice Devashis Baruah presided over the case, with PETA India arguing that these fights violated the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and, in the case of bulbul fights, the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. The court ruled that the SOP contradicted the Supreme Court's 2014 judgment in Animal Welfare Board of India vs. A Nagaraja.
PETA submitted extensive evidence, highlighting the severe cruelty involved in these fights. Investigations revealed: wounds to their necks, faces, and foreheads.
