Save Wildlife from Punjab Govt. in India.

[Guest guest]

 Dear All,

As per wildlife protection

Act of India the Chief wildlife Wardens of State has been empowered only to

issue ownership Certificates in case of Animals and articles falling in Schedule

I and II.This deadline has already ended. Means no ownership certificate to

fresh applicants.

There is move of Punjab

Govt., to grant Ownership Certificates to applicants for

Wildlife/Articles/trophies falling under Sch.III and IV of Wildlife Protection

Act. It has issued a notification and is going to issue a Public notice in this

context so that the Public in possession of these animals or articles, may get

ownership certificate within a specified period (180 days). With this move the

people will start hunting/trapping these animals (Antelopes, Deer, Partridges,

Parakeets and most of the Birds) for captivity and consumption as it is being

legalized. The state will enforce its own rules to give it legal sanctity. There

are Chances that Landlords may set up wildlife farms for canned Hunting as it is

done in south Africa.It is worth mentioning that State Wildlife Advisory Board

Members were sent to South Africa. This is being opposed all over World.

This is not a hidden fact

that One of the State advisory Member Father Mark of Amritsar was known Hunter

of Country and had an easy Access to State Bureaucracy and Political Bosses .The

recently formed State Wildlife Advisory Board by Punjab Govt. includes all

his Friends .The NGOs taken in Board has No track record in protection and

prevention of Wildlife offences.The persons active in this field are

victimised.The Officials holding charge of Saving Wildlife are protecting High

and influential persons involved in Crime against Wildlife. The recent example

is Killing of a Leopard at Phillaur in Punjab, where a leopard which has strayed

into a room of school at night. Instead of using measures of capturing with nets

or Tranquilizing Guns, it was murdered by the Bullets of Police. Similarly, the

Challan has not been Presented in Court against a Sub Divisional Magistrate (in

Hoshiarpur), who was Caught Red Handed while Poaching Peacocks (National Bird).

A case against a famous Magician for keeping python was not put-up properly.

 

The deeds of State Wildlife

Department will wipe out all the wildlife, which is already facing extinction.

The state Govt. is also thinking of issuing permission to hunt the Blue Bull

(Neel Gai) and wild Boar in the name of saving crops.

You are requested to take-up the matter with Central Govt. to put a stop upon

this move. Please send your mail to:

1.Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, Hon’ble President, Republic of India, New Delhi.
