Amendments to India's Animal Laws

The PCA (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Act, 1960, though progressive on paper, is outdated and lacks the teeth to make an impact in today's day and age. There have been efforts since 2016 to improve this law, from increasing penalties to sensitising stakeholders. In this podcast, Malathi Renati interviews Mousumi Gupta and Shreya Paropkari on what those amendments are and their significance in the industry and in society.
