Kerala Animal Activists

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today reached out to animal rights activists opposed to his government's new policy of culling dangerous stray dogs.

A day after the Kerala cabinet said it will cull 'dangerous' stray dogs in the state, Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi has offered an alternative. Ms Gandhi, who is a well-known animal rights activist has suggested that the Kerala administration should sterilize stray dogs, rather than kill them.

Union Women and Child Development Minister and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi is moved by the appalling evidence of elephant torture and trauma brought out by "God in Shackles", a critically acclaimed documentary exposing the abuse of Kerala's captive elephants. She says elephant rescue centres were the need of the hour.

An animal rights campaigner has written to the Chief Controller of Explosives, Nagpur, and the Director of Project Elephant alleging violations of Wildlife Protection Act and Sound Pollution Regulation Rules in the recently concluded Thrissur Pooram festival.

Four persons were arrested for allegedly inciting the killing of stray dogs in Kerala's Ernakulam district.

Animal rights activists are up in arms against the recent order of the Kerala Forest Department, allowing well-known Malayalam-Tamil actor Jayaram to keep custody of a pair of tusks of his pet jumbo, which had died two years ago.

Animal rights campaigners are up in arms against the recent conduct of an unauthorised horse ride in Ernakulam district of Kerala, despite alerts from the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI).

Animal rights activists yesterday urged Kerala government to organise awareness programmes highlighting the significance of reptile conservation to mark the "National Reptile Awareness Day".
