Abstract | The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) serves as a pillar to explore the animal rights and litigants on animal welfare laws. Established in 1962 under the provision of the act of prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 1960 the AWBI is a statutory advisory board under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying. This paper explores many functions of the board such as the regulatory role of the board, the funding authority of animal welfare related organizations and being an advisor to the government of the policy relating to the animals. It discusses the board’s financial support of construction of shelters, medical treatment of animals, and animal birth control with the view of eradicating cruelty as well as inhuman treatment of animals. However, the Board also faces several challenges such as poor resource endowment, legal constraints and clash with welfare policies. This paper also includes various recommendation to enhance the implementation of the AWBI like legal enhancement, funding, technology-based enforcement, and awareness. Lastly, it stipulates that the effectiveness of the AWBI rests on the fragile relationship between animal protection legislation on one hand and social norms and cultures and International cooperation on the other in enhancing and achieving a humane and sustainable society. |
