Delhi HC to Hear Plea on Animal Sexual Crimes in July

Delhi HC to Hear Plea on Animal Sexual Crimes in July

Imagine if a law protecting animals from harm was accidentally removed.

That's what happened when Section 377, which protected animals from sexual abuse, was taken out.

Now, FIAPO, an animal protection group, is asking the Delhi High Court to fix this.

They want to ensure hurting animals in this way is against the law.

The court will listen to their request in July to decide if the protection for animals will be brought back to ensure animals are safe and those who hurt them can be punished.
