💨 Abstract

A report by the Animal Law Cell of the University of Delhi found widespread violations of the Pet Shop Rules, 2018, in Delhi's pet shops. Key issues include the sale of underage puppies, cramped and unhygienic enclosures, unlicensed operations, and the lack of proper veterinary care. The report calls for immediate shutdowns of non-compliant shops, stricter monitoring, and enforcement of animal welfare laws to protect animals from ongoing suffering.
