New Law – Tail docking & ear cropping of pets illegal in India?

Please find attached an order by AWBI and a news article which has made it an offence to use cosmetic techniques like tail docking and ear cropping on pets, (esp dogs).

This practice has been going on for years. Most pet owners dont know that this is a cosmetic treatment and has nothing to do with the behavior of the dog. Vets sometimes mislead pet owners into believing that certain breeds need to have cropped ears and docked tails. This is a fallacy and must be removed.

Its a great initiative from AWBI.

Please print this letter/notification and give to your local vet. it is important we spread this document and inform others. This is applicable all over India.

Thanks
