India Current Affairs 2011. The Gujarat Legislative Assembly on 27 September 2011 passed the Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill 2011

The Gujarat Legislative Assembly on 27 September 2011 passed the Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill 2011. The bill seeks seven-year jail term for cow slaughter or even transporting the animal for that purpose. 


Although the slaughter of milch cattle below the age of 16 years was banned in Gujarat for decades, some cows are still slaughtered due to the loopholes in the law. As per the provisions of Gujarat Animal Preservation Act (GAPA) 1954, despite prohibition on cow slaughter is there, there is no provision in the Act to prevent transportation of the animal for slaughter.


The Maldharis(Pastoral People)  in Gujarat had been demanding  stricter laws against cow slaughter and trade of beef for a long time.
