A quiet but historic step for India.

For decades, animals across the country depended on a veterinary system without standards - no benchmarks, unpredictable care, and heartbreaking gaps in even the most basic services. Pet owners, Farmers struggled. Animals suffered in silence. Public health bore the cost.

Today, with the notification of the Minimum Standards for Veterinary Infrastructure, @Min_FAHD has created a national foundation of dignity and care - a promise that every animal, in every state, deserves competent, humane, and modern veterinary support.

This is more than a policy. It is a moral shift.

A long-overdue victory for animals, for the people who care for them, and for a healthier India.

Better veterinary infrastructure = safer animals = safer people.

Gratitude to @Min_FAHD @LalanSingh_1 ji, @spsinghbaghelpr ji, @icarindia @VeterinaryIndia @AwbiBallabhgarh

Tomorrow, the Court will speak.

History will record not only what judgment is pronounced tomorrow, but also what choices we, as a nation, made for the most vulnerable.

May our justice system stand as the conscience of our civilisation, where mercy, science and dharma converge.

[Gauri Maulekhi @gauri_maulekhi]

The @DghsIndia, @MoHFW_INDIA has directed state Health Secretaries to record animal bite data more accurately:

1️⃣ Segregate pet vs. street dog bites
2️⃣ Avoid duplicate entries for multiple vaccine doses

Without this, every dose was being reported as a ‘dog bite’, unfairly blaming street dogs and fuelling panic.

Grateful to @MoHFW_INDIA for this vital clarification.

Urgent: If dogs are being rounded up in your area, DOCUMENT everything safely - how they’re caught, kept, and moved. This evidence is critical to protect their rights and hold authorities accountable. Share at [email protected] NOW!

A death sentence for our community animals.

In a shocking move, the Supreme Court has ordered that all street dogs in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon & Noida be permanently confined in pounds — with CCTV to ensure none are released.

The court has ignored Animal Birth Control rules, dismissed inputs from intervening parties, and even cited a Western movie dialogue to justify its stance.
All this, despite zero human rabies deaths recorded in Delhi in the past 3 years.

This is not just unscientific, it’s cruel and dangerous. If you care for street animals, now is the time to speak in one voice.

Animals are not just pet, food, sacred or vermin. They are intelligent sentient beings capable of immense suffering.

[Ahimsa Fellows @AhimsaMatters]

What if your instinctive answers weren’t really your own?

Watch what happened when Cohort 4 Fellows asked one question:
Dog. Pig. Cow. Chicken.
What it revealed wasn’t just about animals.
Something to rethink.
