The Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act, 2017 strengthens and clarifies laws governing cattle and beef trade in Gujarat. It raises punishments for illegal cattle slaughter or transport, imposing possible life imprisonment for serious violations and sentences ranging from seven to ten years for others, accompanied by higher fines. The Act also explicitly authorizes government authorities to seize vehicles used in contravening these measures. Additionally, it solidifies enforcement procedures by making the associated offences cognizable and non-bailable, ensuring police can arrest offenders without prior permission.
