Kozhikode Corporation’s pet licensing by-law evokes good response
The Hindu
High Court order in July made the process mandatory
The public response has been overwhelming to the new by-law of the Kozhikode Corporation making licensing of pets mandatory within the city.
Corporation Veterinary Officer V.S. Sreeshma said the civic body was getting several enquiries about the licensing process from people, who were also welcoming the initiative.
The Corporation had implemented the by-law in September following a High Court order in July that made licensing of pets mandatory in all local bodies. The order came against the backdrop of increasing incidents of mistreatment and abandoning of animals by owners. The order encompasses cattle owners such as dairy farmers and also those who own horses and cats.
