Mizoram: Kolasib district bans dog meat inclusion in feasts, gatherings

Aizawl: Kolasib District Commissioner John LT Sanga issued a public notice on Tuesday, officially banning the inclusion of dog meat in any feasts and gatherings within the district.

This decision follows a request from the Mizoram State Animal Welfare Board to prohibit dog meat consumption during official events.

The issuance of the public notice stems from the clarification made by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary (Ah& Vety) Department, which highlighted that dogs aren’t included among animals permitted for slaughter under The Mizoram Slaughter (Amendment) Act 2020 Section (A).
