14-9-AH/Street & Pet dogs/2024-25/3632
To prevent the avoidable harm and nuisance to general public, the Government of Goa has notified the Policy for street and pet dog caregiving in the form of guidelines (revised) in 2023. The said Policy has following clauses to ensure responsible pet ownership on the part of the dog owners which states as under:
(3) No owner/person incharge of any dog,
shall:—
(a) Allow the pet dog to roam at large on any public street or public place without being harnessed and without being secured by a chain lead, if he knows that the dog is likely to annoy or intimidate any person.
(b) Allow any ferocious dog to be at large without being harnessed and without being secured by a chain lead.
(c) Encourage or urge any dog to attack,
annoy or intimidate any person or
(d) Knowing or having reason to believe that any dog belonging to him or in his charge has been bitten by an animal suffering or reasonably suspected to be suffering from rabies, fail or neglect to give immediate information of this fact to the Mission Rabies hotline, or give information which is false.
Whereas, because of the irresponsible behavior of pet owners, breeds of Rottweiler and Pitbull have involved in ferocious attacks and in one instance the victim has succumbed to the bites.
Whereas, in its Order dated 10th of April, 2024, the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, in the Writ Petition No. 8409 of 2024, has defined the responsible pet ownership in para (17) as under:
"It is not that pitbull or American bulldog or any other pet dog, is a dog that is roaming in the streets. It is a dog owned by pet owners. Therefore, it is the pet owners would become responsible for the safe keep of the citizens and other animals around the area, in which they would own the pet from the jaws of such pet. They are wanting to own the pet which is ferocious or other wise, it would be the
responsibility of such pet owners to oversee the safety of the citizens and animals around. They are to be held to be accountable for any kind of irresponsible pet ownership."
The responsible pet ownership in para (19) has been defined further by the Hon'ble High
Court as under:
"It is for the dog owners to act responsibly that their pets would not harm any other citizen/other living beings in the vicinity or anywhere. Thus, pet owners would become solely responsible for the act of their dogs, if
they are ferocious or dangerous, and the pet owners have kept them despite their characteristic being projected, they should act responsibly, and responsible pet ownership must emerge as a sine qua non to pet ownership, as it is in public domain that dogs
are more likely to become aggressive when they are unsupervised, un-nurtured and not socially conditioned to live closely with human beings and other dogs/animals. It is this that has to be emphasized on pet owners."
In view of above, it is imperative in the
public interest that the dog/pet owner behave
responsibly and ensures that his pet causes
no harm/physical injury to any human beings
or animals, whatsoever. Also, Notarized
Affidavit in the prescribed format to the effect
that the owner of the pet animal will be
responsible for any harm/physical injury
caused by their pet animal to human beings
and will be liable to bear the cost of medical
treatment of the victim apart from suitable
compensation. Also, it is held that any pet
owner who behaves irresponsibly allowing his
pet to become nuisance to the general public/
/society, will have to face the legal action as
deemed fit, under the relevant sections of the
Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Prevention OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 24 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2024 of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and rules framed thereunder.
