00:00Is it illegal to let your pet walk without a leash in public?

00:03Here's the quick rundown.

00:09The Animal Welfare Board of India's 2015 guidelines clearly say

00:14that your residential welfare association, your RWA,

00:18cannot ban pets from apartments or deny them access to lifts and parks.

00:23That's good news.

00:24But yes, always keep your dog leashed when you're out and about

00:28because the RWA can set certain timings

00:31for when pets might not be allowed in community parks

00:35as long as it's agreed upon by everyone.

00:37And remember to clean up after your pet.

00:40Leaving dog poop around is not okay.

00:43And local municipal laws such as those in Noida for example,

00:46in fact allow RWAs to find pet owners who don't pick up after their dogs.

00:52Safety matters most

00:53because under section 291 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sahita,

00:58if you are negligent,

00:59for example, you let your pet off the leash

01:01or let it roam freely

01:03and you're not controlling it

01:04and it bites someone or hurts someone.

01:07You can face a fine of 5,000 rupees

01:10and even six months in jail.

01:12But don't worry,

01:13a barking or simply scaring someone is not punishable.

01:17Actual harm caused to the person is of real concern.

01:20So enjoy your time with your pets

01:22but stay responsible.
