Animals Kept in Filthy, Inhumane Conditions at Unregistered Pet Shops Deserve Justice

Target: Atishi, Chief Minister of Delhi, India

Goal: Enforce strict legal action against unregistered pet shops keeping animals in inhumane and unsanitary conditions.

Animals are suffering in unregistered pet shops and dog breeding centers, where they are kept in poor living conditions with compromised hygiene and inadequate safety measures. Many of these establishments house animals in overcrowded spaces, lacking proper ventilation and fire equipment, leading to stressful and unsafe environments. The animals endure inhumane treatment, which may include being crammed together regardless of breed or species, causing them immense stress and potential health issues.

Inspections have revealed numerous violations in these pet shops, including untrained staff who may not know how to properly care for the animals. The lack of proper hygiene results in animals living amidst filth, increasing the risk of diseases and infections. These establishments are also operating illegally without registration, meaning they are not held accountable to any regulatory standards designed to protect animal welfare.

It is imperative to enforce the mandatory registration of all pet shops and dog breeding centers to ensure that animals are treated humanely and live in safe, sanitary conditions. Strict enforcement of regulations will help eradicate cruelty, illegal trafficking of exotic pets, and unethical breeding practices that cause suffering to animals and burden pet owners. Demand that the Chief Minister of Delhi takes immediate action to close down unregistered establishments and hold them legally accountable to protect innocent animals from further harm.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Chief Minister Atishi,

I am writing to express deep concern about the suffering of animals in unregistered pet shops and dog breeding centers in Delhi. These establishments are keeping animals in inhumane conditions, with poor hygiene, inadequate safety measures, and overcrowded spaces. The animals are housed in stressful and unsafe environments, which can lead to severe health issues and immense suffering.

Inspections have uncovered numerous violations, including untrained staff who may not properly care for the animals, and a lack of compliance with the Dog Breeding and Marketing Rules, 2017, and the Pet Shop Rules, 2018. These unregistered pet shops are operating illegally, neglecting basic standards, and contributing to the illegal trafficking of exotic pets and unethical breeding practices.

I urge you to take immediate action to enforce strict legal measures against unregistered pet shops and dog breeding centers that are causing harm to animals. By ensuring that all such establishments are registered and comply with the necessary regulations, we can protect animals from suffering and promote ethical pet ownership. Please prioritize the welfare of these innocent animals by closing down non-compliant establishments and holding those responsible accountable under the law.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
