Violence Against Animals

A woman protection officer was brutally attacked by a dog after the animal was unleashed upon her and a family counsellor by the husband of a woman who had made a domestic violence complaint against him.

The Supreme Court said today that human-animal conflict, especially involving elephants, was a "problem" and the centre should consider setting up a task force to ensure adherence to the guidelines on this issue.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction to the Centre and some states to take action against so-called cow vigilantes, who are allegedly spreading violence and committing atrocities against Dalits and minorities.

Sania Mirza was appointed the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the South Asian region by UN Women at an event held to mark the International Day To End Violence Against Women Tuesday, where she reportedly said that "women face discrimantion and are treated like animals".

In the letter, Mary Kom points out that violence against animals by children is often an early sign of future acts of violence against humans.
