The belief that spotting a Palapitta, Telangana’s state bird, brings good luck during Dussehra can put these birds at risk of cruel capture and confinement. With the Telangana Forest Deptartment, we’re urging people to report the illegal capture of the Palapitta.

The proposed rules are an important moment for animal welfare and scientific research in India. Your voice can help shape what comes next. Write to the Ministry at [email protected] by 30 October 2026 and urge the government to reconsider the proposed rules.
Thank you, @divyaspandana, for amplifying our message and lending your voice to the important conversation on ending animal testing. Your support helps bring greater attention to the need for humane, science-driven alternatives to animal experimentation.
A milestone for animal welfare. This weekend, Humane World for Animals India with government partners, has laid the foundation for India’s first permanent animal evacuation shelter in Wayanad, led by the Kerala's Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture Shri @TsiddiqueINC.

India is called the “snakebite capital of the world,” with thousands of deaths each year—while snakes are killed in fear.

Violence against dogs is not legal. It’s not effective and will only deepen the conflict. Cruelty will not make communities safer. Systematic Animal Birth Control (ABC) implementation will.

आवारा कुत्तों की समस्या के समाधान के लिए कुछ शहर तकनीक और लोगों की भागीदारी का सहारा ले रहे हैं. गुजरात के वडोदरा में माइक्रोचिपिंग की जा रही है. वहीं उत्तराखंड के देहरादून में स्टर्लाइज़ेशन, एनिमल बर्थ कंट्रोल सेंटर्स के साथ साथ लोगों की भागीदारी से कुत्तों की पॉपुलेशन को नियंत्रित किया जा रहा है.

India has led the way in animal-free science since 2013, when it became the 1st South Asian country to ban cosmetic animal testing!
To keep pace with this progress, India must champion animal-free drug testing. Learn more in this op-ed by @humaneworldind: hindustantimes.com/opinion/w…
India must champion animal-free drug testing.
This @HindustanTimes op-ed explores how tech like organ-on-chips & AI can replace animal testing.

Our team in India recently helped local police intercept a vehicle transporting dogs destined for the dog meat trade. The dogs were bound inside sacks and tied to the roof of a vehicle; their mouths tightly secured with rope to silence them. Some were possibly stolen pets; others were snatched from the streets. These animals have endured immense suffering, but thanks to quick action and help from our local partners, Anajoree, Sporsho and Daryai Ghoda, they are safe and receiving care.
