Kolkata, Jan.10 (ANI): Retired horses of the West Bengal police training centre need not worry about their future, as the State government has facilitated setting up of special stables for them at Ashaari, the shelter for animals run by People for Animals.
The government initiative has delighted animal lovers and people in the police force. It is hoped the step would keep Roshanara, Teja, Patriot and many other horses like them in good stead for long.
Earlier, the horses found no longer useful were put down (shot dead) sans any mercy. The barbaric method of brining animals lives to an end was objected to by several people.
Fourteen horses of the West Bengal Police Training Centre (PTC) were earlier declared retired but they are now stabled at Ashaari.
