This is absolutely cruel. This cannot be passed. Our country's values should not be going this low. @Manekagandhibjp @PMOIndia @narendramodi

Important to oppose the Draft Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Control and Supervision of Experiment, Breeding and Trading of Laboratory Animals) Rules, 2026.

This is horrible: "The draft would allow institutional ethics committees to approve experiments classified as mild or moderate on larger animals, including dogs, horses, pigs, and cattle, without prior approval from the central Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA)" Please sign this petition against the proposed new animal testing norms: c.org/JJrtBcy7rx

@Min_FAHD @Dept_of_AHD Objections in the draft for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Control and Supervision of Experiment, Breeding and Trading of Laboratory Animals) Rules, 2026, which appeared in the Gazette of India on 6 October 2026 with following three specific provisions:- 1. Rule 11(3): This rule allows mild and moderate experiments on all species to be cleared by a lab's own ethics committee. Rule 11(4) requires only that this committee report to CCSEA, not that it seek CCSEA's approval. The current requirement under CPCSEA procedures, that CCSEA must directly approve experiments on animals larger than rodents and rabbits, should be preserved. 2. Rule 21(2): Under this rule, labs would be able to procure livestock, farm animals, fish, and birds from open markets or unregistered sources, needing only their own committee's approval. The 2006 amendment to the current rules requires that any non-registered source be approved in writing by a competent legal authority. This safeguard should not be removed, and buying animals from open markets should not be allowed. 3. Rule 5(3): The draft says stray and feral animals cannot be used in experiments, but then allows a "competent authority" to override this. The term "competent authority" is not defined anywhere in the draft rules. An exception that can be granted by an unidentified authority provides no real protection and should be deleted. Please withdraw this draft and carry out wider consultation before finalising any replacement to the 1998 Rules. A clause-by-clause comparison with the 1998 Rules should also be made publicly available. Kindly confirm receipt of this objection. @rashtrapatibhvn @narendramodi @PMOIndia @BJP4India

We have objected to proposed rules that could weaken oversight of animal experiments and permit exemptions for the use of stray dogs and cats in labs India's street animals must not become lab subjects Our objection ⬇️ dogdeskanimalaction.co.uk/p/…

I have written to Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Thiru.@LalanSingh_1 urging him to review and withdraw the proposed Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Rules, 2026, in their current form. Diluting independent oversight, weakening safeguards and permitting broader exemptions for animal experimentation raise serious concerns. India must strengthen ethical research, protect animals and accelerate alternatives to animal testing. Science must advance with compassion, accountability and transparency. @mkstalin @Udhaystalin @arivalayam @dmk_youthwing @DMKITwing @dmksdwing @DMK_Chennai

भारत सरकार जानवरों पर होने वाले प्रयोगों के नियमों में बदलाव करने जा रही है, इसका ड्राफ्ट जारी किया गया है और 5 नवंबर तक जनता से राय मांगी गई है. इस ड्राफ्ट में कई बातें हैरान करने वाली हैं. अब तक हमारे देश में जानवरों पर कॉस्मैटिक टेस्टिंग बैन है, लेकिन नए नियमों के मुताबिक इसकी इजाजत मिल सकती है. अब तक जानवरों पर लैब ट्रायल्स के लिए कड़े नियम हैं, सरकार से परमीशन लेनी पड़ती है, लेकिन अब एक्सपेरिमेंट्स के लिए सिर्फ उन्हीं मामलों में सरकारी परमीशन की जरूरत होगी, जिनमें ट्रायल के दौरान एनीमल को असहनीय दर्द होता हो या जानवरों की जिंदगी खतरे में हो. पशुप्रेमियों ने इसका विरोध किया है. PETA India ने सरकार से ये प्रस्ताव वापस लेने की मांग की है. उनका कहना है कि अगर ये कानून लागू हुआ तो पशुओं पर क्रूरता बढ़ेगी, जंगली जानवर भी सुरक्षित नहीं रहेंगे, नए नियमों में खामियों का फायदा बड़ी कंपनियां उठाएंगी. PETA India की इस मुहिम का समर्थन करते हुए मेनका गांधी ने कहा कि जब दुनिया के बड़े देश अपने यहां पशुओं की लैब टेस्टिंग पर बैन लगा चुके हैं, तब भारत में इस तरह की छूट देना कहां तक उचित है. एक बात तो साफ़ है कि animal testing के नियमों में बदलाव पशुओं पर क्रूरता को बढ़ावा देगा, बेज़ुबान जानवरों को experiments के लिए और ज़्यादा आसानी से उपलब्ध करा देगा. जब Ethics Panel को जानवरों पर किए जाने वाले experiments के approval की authority मिल जाएगी तो कोई रोकने वाला नहीं होगा. जानवरों को भी दर्द होता है, उन्हें भी डर लगता है. सिर्फ़ वो अपनी तकलीफ़ कह नहीं पाते. Procedures के लिए खरगोश, चूहे, बंदर और dogs को labs में जिस तरह छोटे पिंजरों में बंद करके रखा जाता है, उन्हें बार-बार सुइयां चुभोई जाती हैं, ये सरासर ज़ुल्म है. इन मासूमों से उनकी consent नहीं ली जा सकती इसलिए उन पर जुल्म होता है. होना तो ये चाहिए कि testing में पशुओं का इस्तेमाल कम से कम हो, जानवरों की पीड़ा कम हो, जहां तक संभव हो animal testing के स्थान पर non animal testing अपनाई जाए, लेकिन नए नियमों से इसका उल्टा होगा. एक डर ये भी है कि जिन देशों में animal testing मुश्किल है, महंगी है, वो भारत की labs को animal testing के लिए इस्तेमाल करेंगे. ये बहुत ही ख़तरनाक है. इसलिए हम सबको इन नए नियमों के ख़िलाफ़ अपनी आपत्ति दर्ज करानी चाहिए. पांच नवंबर की जो deadline है, उससे पहले विरोध ज़ाहिर करने के लिए एक QR code है, इसे स्कैन करके आप सभी अपनी आपत्तियां दर्ज कर सकते हैं.

I would appeal to all to oppose the Draft Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Control and Supervision of Experiment, Breeding and Trading of Laboratory Animals) Rules, 2026. The draft rules, circulated by the Centre, will allow capture and use of wild animals—including endangered or protected Show More species under vague "scientific justification”. The draft rules also permit experiments on community and free-ranging stray dogs and cats. The rules also accommodate extreme procedures, like electric shocks, prolonged isolation of animals like dogs and monkeys and induced tumors Animal lovers have opposed this. PETA India has demanded withdrawal of these draft rules. One thing is clear. Change in animal lab testing rules will encourage cruelty to animals. If ethics panel gets the powers for granting approval to such lab experiments, nobody can stop it. During lab tests, animals undergo insufferable pain, but they cannot express it like humans. Rabbits, rats, monkeys and dogs are kept in small cages in labs, they are given needle pricks regularly. Since they are animals, no consent can be taken. The ideal condition is: use of animals in lab trials must be kept to the bare minimum and care must be taken that the animals do not suffer pain. As far as possible, non-animal testing should replace animal testing, but the new draft rules will put the clock back. In many countries animal testing is difficult and costly, and India may be used as the place at cheap costs. This is dangerous. We should register our objections over these new draft rules. Since November 5 is the deadline, I would appeal to all to scan the relevant QR code to register your objections.

The world is moving away from animal testing. India must uphold the principles that it have secured animal rights and protection. #SayNoToAnimalExperimentationBill

What is happening here?? The world is evolving to protect animals - & regressive India is exposing their INHUMANITY!!! This is sheer barbarism - and we will NOT allow it!!! Please stop the Control & Supervision of Experiment, Breeding & Trading of Animals Draft Rules 2026. These rules will allow the experimentation, breeding, and trading of Indian animals. Animals cannot speak - we have to be their voice! Email your objections to: [email protected] Address your letters to: Shri Gangwar (Secretary of Animal Husbandry) & Dr. Kumaramuthusamy (Chairman of CPCSEA) PLEASE do everything to stop this cruel draft bill! instagram.com/reel/DezBKagjv… @AmbaniKaVansaj

For everyone who believes in protecting animal rights: Very glad to see mainstream media cover this issue - proposed changes in the rules are very worrying - they will make it even more easy to use animals in testing - this is absolutely not ok, it’s the opposite direction to where a progressing India should go! Please watch the clip, scan the QR code at the end and send in your objections. Govt is asking for inputs till 5th November. @narendramodi @PMOIndia Viksit Bharat must include higher protection for our animals too. Thank you @RajatSharmaLive for giving this media attention.

I object the draft prevention of cruelty to animals rules, 2016, demanding it's withdrawal. Mail sent addressed to the Member Secretary, Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA), Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India.

"Animal experimentation" "..when scientists can study human organs on chips, grow human tissues in laboratories, & predict toxicity using sophisticated computer models, India must move forward, not backwards.” @gauri_maulekhi @PetaIndia @pfaindia thehindubusinessline.com/new…

You NEED to see this 👀🎬 SENTIENT brings scientists on both sides of the animal testing debate into the spotlight, including PETA's Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, formerly a primate researcher, who's now leading our fight to end experiments on primates.
