Is it true that Nepal has no animal welfare legislation?
A.Nepal has some laws that protect animals but they relate to wildlife and livestock only. Nepal is one of the few countries in the world that has no legal protection of pets and stray animals. animalNEPAL for years has encouraged the government to draft an animal welfare law. In 2005 a committee drafted a bill but this is yet to be send to the Parliament. You can help by sending your own letter to the goverment.
