ANIMALS ARE USED AS A TOOL OF PUBLICITY IN THE FEATURE FILMS IN INDIA.
ANIMALS ARE ILL TREATED DURING THE SHOOTING OF A FEATURE FILMS IN INDIA, A.W.B.I FAILED TO PROPER SCRUTINY & CONTROL ON ANIMAL ABUSE DURING THE SHOOTING. ANIMALS BECAME PUBLICITY TOOLS FOR THE PRODUCERS OF THE FILMS & POLITICAL LEADERS TOO , RANG DE BASENTI, AKBER JODHA, EKLAVYA, JAANSHEEN,TAAJMEHAL, AAWARAPAN & NOW DRONA ETC. ARE THE EXAMPLES.
THE CENTRAL GOVT. CAN MAKE THE RULES UNDER SECTION 38 OF THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS ACT , 1960 BUT THE OFFENCES UNDER THIS SECTION ARE NON-COGNIZABLES & THE PUNISHMENT IS NOTHING. THE CENTRAL GOVT. MADE THE PERFORMING ANIMALS (REGISTRATION) RULES, 2001. EVERY PERFORMING ANIMALS MUST BE REGISTERED WITH THE ANIMAL WELFARE BOARD OF INDIA. THERE ARE GUIDELINES TO USE ANIMALS IN THE FEATURE FILMS, A.W.B.I OFFICIALS OR AUTHORISED PERSON NEVER PRESENT ON THE SITE DURING THE SHOOTING OF THE FILMS TO CONTROL ANIMAL ABUSE & ANIMALS ARE ILL TREATED. WHERE WAS THE NEEDS OF FEATHER CUT PIGIONS IN AWARAPAN & WHY HORSE WAS DIED DURING THE SHOOTING OF DRONA?.THE CENTRAL GOVT. SHOULD AMEND THE PUNISHMENTS & A.W.B.I WITHDRAW ALL THE PERMISSIONS AS PERFORMING ANIMALS ARE USED ONLY TO GIVE PUBLICITY TO THE FEATURE FILMS.
