NGO Demands Reversal Of HP Govt Decision To Kill Animals

   
"Large-scale permissions by the wildlife department to farmers for killing wild animals for damaging their crops is cruelty against animals and the decision should be reversed," Soniya Ghosh, a member of NGO Citizens for Welfare and Protection of Animals said.
    

"It is a serious matter and CWPA would meet Jairam Ramesh on Monday and urge him to direct the Himachal government to withdraw the licenses issued to farmers to kill monkeys and other animals," she said.

Farmers in Himachal Pradesh have killed over 50 monkeys in the past two days to save their crops. The monkeys were mainly killed in Shimla, Sirmaur and Hamirpur districts. Read the full report here.
