The letter, which seeks PM Modi’s intervention in the matter of animal sacrifice during festivals, comes ahead of Eid al-Adha.

The animal rights group requested PM Modi to remove section 28 of The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act,1960, which allows any animal to be killed in any manner required by any religion.

According to news reports, the central government is currently in the process of amending the Act.

Earlier, Peta India had submitted its recommendations to the Animal Welfare Board of India(AWBI), which included recommending a ban on animal sacrifice in April.

Peta India chief executive officer Dr Manilal Valliyate was quoted by India Today as saying, “Even though the PCA Act gives an exemption for animal sacrifice, such practices often stand in contradiction to the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, which protects indigenous wild species from hunting and capture.”

The animal rights group also demanded that in the age of science and technology, animal sacrifice should be treated as punishable cruelty.

According to India Today, ahead of Eid Al-Adha, the animal rights group also sent letters to police chiefs of all state governments and union territories, urging them to take precautionary measures to stop illegal practices in transport and the killing of animals.
