Call to convene animal welfare board meet

KOCHI: Elephant Lovers Association, a Thrissur-based NGO, has demanded that a meeting of State Animal Welfare Board should be convened to formulate measures for preventing cruelty to captive and wild animals.

The Association leaders said the Board had not met during the last 18 months. Most of the district Societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were also defunct. The government should take steps for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the Association demanded.
