Maneka Gandhi puts an end to dog fight show in Punjab

| Saturday | 16th June, 2018

Punjab Police on Saturday stopped a dog fight planned at Nihal Singh Wala in Moga district after Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi intervened in the matter. Police have registered a case against the organisers of the proposed dog fight show, under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The dog fight show is a "blood sport" in which canines are made to attack each other. Maneka had in February raised the issue of the growing menace of dog fighting with Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. An ad on the show surfaced on the walls of Nihal Singh Wala recently, prompting the deputy commissioner to direct the district police to take immediate action.
