A Review Paper on Animal Cruelty in India

Abstract

 Humans have been exploiting animals  since the dawn of time. Because of their fragility and  helplessness, animal resources have been exploited.  Despite the fact that India's varied wildlife has produced  numerous biodiversity hotspots, human intrusion on forest  regions has been constant, creating Man-Animal Conflict.  Animal abuse takes many forms, but the most common  include maltreatment of both terrestrial and aquatic  animals, mistreatment of performing animals, and cruelty  to smaller animals located in and near human habitats. Whether that's an individual who kills a neighbor's cat, a  hoarding of sick or dying animals, or even a household  whose freezing, starving dog is tied outdoors in the middle  of winter, animal cruelty stories make headlines across the  world every day. Animal cruelty can take various forms,  including fundamental neglect, severe neglect, purposeful abuse, animal hoarding, organised misuse, ritualistic  misuse, or animal sexual assault. Cruelty to animals cannot  be overlooked since it has been demonstrated to have  major effects, ranging from being linked to other crimes to  causing immense pain to animals that have no one else to  advocate for themselves. Countering the danger of cruelty  to animals is a journey which must be taken, and  everybody has a role to play, such as the government,  NGOs, or even society. This article examines animal  cruelty throughout the globe.
