- The Madras High Court has ordered an end to the practice of smearing the chilli flakes on the eyes of cattle to keep them awake during long journeys and also to prevent them from sitting/lying down inside the truck.
- It has laid down elaborate guidelines to be followed by the cattle transporters.
- Ramps and loading docks should be designed to prevent the cattle from slipping or falling.
- The vehicles, transporting cattle, must be properly ventilated and the warm temperatures must be ensured.
- They must also be periodically checked for signs of distress/injury/illness during the journey.
- The motor vehicles should be cleaned thoroughly before being used for the transportation of cattle in order to avoid spread of diseases from one animal to another.
- Further, the transporters must ensure the medical certificates issued by the authorised veterinarians certifying the distance and the duration for which the animals could be transported.
