'Lust for killing' in MoEF: Maneka Gandhi slams Prakash Javadekar over animal culling
FP Staff Jun 9, 2016 12:03 IST
In an interview with ANI, Maneka, who is also an animal rights activist said, "The ministry is writing to each state giving permission to kill animals. In West Bengal, they have issued orders to kill elephants, in Himachal Pradesh they have ordered for monkeys to be killed and in Goa the peacocks are killed. In Maharashtra's Chandrapur, they have killed 53 wild boar and given permission to kill 50 more."
Accusing the environment ministry of indulging in animal slaughter, she said, "I don't know what kind of lust for killing has taken over the environment ministry."WATCH: Woman and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi slams Enviornment Ministryhttps://t.co/zaRbc8vzYz— ANI (@ANI_news) June 9, 2016
Maneka claimed that this is the first time a environment ministry has given such a permission to kill animals.
In a move to resolve increasing man-animal conflict, especially those causing damages to crops, environment ministry earlier this week had said that it has sought report from the states to declare certain overpopulated animals as vermin for a limited period of time.

"We had issued a circular in this regard earlier also. In areas where farmers are facing huge problems due to animals, there is a procedure to declare them as 'vermin' like blue bull and wild boar for a particular period of time," environment minister Prakash Javadekar had said.
"As soon as we get states' response on this, we will give them permission to declare such animals as 'vermin' for a limited period of time," he said.
If implemented, it will apply to wild animals listed in various Schedules of the Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) 1972. The provisions to declare wild animals as problem animals are already there in the WPA, the Minister said.
In the past, various tigers have been killed or relocated after they were termed as man-eaters by the state forest departments.It is on the recommendation of state govts, also its an old law: Prakash Javadekar on Maneka Gandhi's allegations pic.twitter.com/nvLpWuDP0c— ANI (@ANI_news) June 9, 2016
