The Kerala High Court has asked the State government to ensure that local authorities immediately issue public notices to animal owners to register their animals (cattle, pets etc.) with the local authority concerned, and get a licence for the animals. The Court said that current animal owners must complete the registration/licencing of animals within six months, and future owners of animals must register them with the local authority concerned within three months of acquiring the animal.
