Summary

In India, the Animal Welfare Board serves as a crucial pillar of the country's animal welfare movement, standing firm on its core values for over sixty-three years. Its mission involves ensuring that animal welfare laws are strictly followed by local officials, while simultaneously providing substantial grants to support Animal Welfare Organizations and conducting expert advice to the Government regarding critical animal welfare issues. This long-standing commitment ensures that the Board remains the central face of the movement, actively engaging with stakeholders through judicial guidance. The organization has delivered several landmark decisions that directly impact public order and community safety; notably, a Constitutional bench verdict on Jallikattu dated March 18, 2023, alongside other judicial orders from the High Courts of Bombay and Delhi on May 18 and March 20, respectively. The Board also implements high court orders for the management of stray dog feeding issues and dismissed petitions challenging specific animal welfare policies, ensuring that their rulings are fully effective in protecting innocent lives. These judicial victories continue to highlight the Board's role as a bridge between government regulations and public sentiment in safeguarding the rights and well-being of animals.
