PFA Uttarakhand was proud to collaborate with UPES Dehradun for the International Colloquium on Animal Law at #VidhiUtsav2025.
We explored “Reimagining Animal Law in a Changing World: From Ethics to Enforcement” and strengthened the global movement for animal protection.
We run an equine infirmary along the Kedarnath Yatra route with a capacity for 30 animals. Every year, hundreds more need our help.
If you'd like to support this work or have questions about how your contribution is used, reach out on WhatsApp: +91 95604 72207.
They carried us to Kedarnath. Now they need us.
Thousands of horses and mules are overloaded, injured, and pushed until they collapse. Your donation can provide treatment, food, shelter, and a safe life.
Donate today. shorturl.at/ZVLv8

It was a privilege to welcome Hon’ble Member of Parliament @SwatiJaiHind ji to our Delhi office on 19 June 2026.
Few public representatives have spoken as consistently and fearlessly for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Through her advocacy, Ms. Maliwal has helped bring issues affecting vulnerable animals into the national conversation and has inspired greater public engagement with animal welfare.
Our discussions focused on some of the most pressing challenges facing animals today and the policy, governance and institutional measures needed to strengthen their protection.
We are grateful for her visit, her continued support, and her willingness to use her platform in service of compassion. With voices such as hers, meaningful change for millions of animals becomes possible.
Together, we can continue advancing the timeless Indian ideal of Ahimsa and building a nation that extends dignity, protection and kindness to all living beings.
@pfaindia @PFAppf @PFAukd
Sensitivity and compassion - for every living being. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the one we hope to see everywhere.
Thank you, @narendramodi ji, for reminding what compassion in practice looks like.
The discourse around our community animals has been heavy with anger & fear, but your words steady the ground.
Karuna for the voiceless is not weakness - it is our civilisational strength.
Thank you, Sir, for being a sensible voice in a hard season.

131-page Supreme Court judgment.
32 mentions reinforcing the Animal Birth Control Rules.
1 line permitting euthanasia for rabid or mortally wounded dogs - and that becomes the headline.
Clickbait thrives on fear. The law doesn’t.
The architecture of today’s order: ABC Rules upheld, one ABC centre per district mandated, every High Court on compliance watch.
This reinforces what has always been the only humane and scientific framework:
Sterilise. Vaccinate. Return.
Let’s keep our focus where it needs to be.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court’s directions in Suo Motu W.P. (C) No. 5 of 2025 place renewed emphasis on implementation, compliance, and strengthening on-ground ABC infrastructure nationwide.
Directions include at least one ABC Centre in every district and nationwide monitoring through High Courts.

#WATCH | Delhi: On Supreme Court refuses to modify directions to remove stray dogs from public places, Animal rights activist Gauri Mulekhi says, "I think it is a balanced judgment. Earlier in November, the Court had asked for dogs to be summarily picked up and removed and kept in shelters, whatever. Here today, the most stress was given to animal birth control rules. It has been directed that there has to be an animal birth control centre in every district. There has to be trained manpower, trained veterinarians, as well as procedures to be followed, which have been prescribed by the Animal Welfare Board of India. Reporting has to be done, and compliance reports have to be given to the High Courts and the Supreme Court. So the focus on animal birth control rules is very, very welcome, and the rest has been left to the state authorities as to how they want to remove dogs from sensitive areas..."

VIDEO | Delhi: Activist Gauri Mulekhi on Supreme Court order on stray dogs, says, "I think it is good that the honorable Supreme Court has finally reiterated that animal birth control rules, which were first notified in 2001, have still not been implemented well by most states, and strict directions have been given by the honorable Supreme Court to implement the animal birth control rules, every district is supposed to have an animal birth control center, trained veterinarians and capacity commensurate to the dog population in their districts to conduct a properly monitored animal birth control program. The High Courts are now supposed to collect compliance reports from the state governments. Every single High Court will register a suo motu case and the Chief Secretaries and relevant secretaries of the departments will report to the respective High Courts in relation to compliance with animal birth control rules. We are grateful that the court has upheld the animal birth control rules and directed for its scientific and expeditious implementation."

Introducing the ‘Ask Me Anything’ series.
Over the last two decades, I’ve worked across different areas of animal protection in India - engaging with the legal system, working with institutions, sensitizing enforcement agencies, and teaching students and professionals.
One thing that has remained constant is how much confusion exists around animal welfare laws, what actually counts as cruelty, and what people can realistically do when they witness harm.
So I’m starting this series to answer your questions directly.
Send me anything you’ve ever wondered about - animal cruelty, welfare laws, situations you’ve encountered, or things you’ve always been unsure about. I’ll personally go through the submissions and answer selected questions in a video releasing later this month.
Here is the link to submit your questions: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Please keep your questions clear and specific. I'm looking forward to answering your most asked questions.
Dr. Udai Shankar, Director of Animal Husbandry Uttarakhand, visited the Phata Infirmary and appreciated our work. The infirmary provides urgent care to injured yatra animals. Many needing lifelong recovery are rehabilitated at Happy Home Sanctuary.

Grateful to @Uppolice for organising a specialised workshop on animal protection laws at the UP Police Headquarters, Lucknow.
Laws acquire meaning only when they reach the ground through humane and courageous enforcement.
Every officer trained today strengthens the thin line that stands between suffering and protection for millions of animals who depend entirely on human conscience for their survival and dignity.

RT @gauri_maulekhi: Behind every pilgrimage is the unseen, exhausting labor of working animals.
For the horses and mules on the Yamunotri…
Chamoli district held an equine welfare workshop for the Hemkund Yatra with police, vets & stakeholders. Focus: enforce laws, prevent cruelty & improve facilities. Behind every yatra is unseen animal labour—justice must reach the mountain trails too.
#equinewelfare #yatra
Ahead of Kedarnath Yatra, we trained the mule task force, police & vets in Rudraprayag on the PCA Act.
Tourists — your part:
→ Don't ride horses/mules
→ Report cruelty on the track

Ground zero in Rudraprayag. With the Kedarnath Yatra approaching, ensuring the welfare of working equines is not a request, it is a structural mandate.
Navigated the full spectrum of on-ground realities today - sat down with protesting locals to address community concerns, aligned with Ukhimath MLA Asha Nautiyal ji, and locked in critical, actionable decisions at the SPCA meeting with the District Administration.
@PFAukd isn’t just advising, we are holding the line on the ground, enforcing policy, and actively running the Phata infirmary for injured animals.

Building capacity with enforcement agencies to empower and stitch together sustainable solutions for the upcoming Kedarnath Yatra.
Our goal: a safe, seamless, and humane journey for people and animals alike.

This isn’t just a sanctuary. It’s a second birth for abused equines, rescued goats & cats.

Forcing dogs into non-existent shelters is a logistical impossibility requiring 22,000 acres of land. This move only increases dog bites by removing animals from familiar territories. Tomorrow, we urge the Supreme Court to uphold Science and ABC-ARV protocols over fear.
Relocating and confining street dogs isn’t just cruel; it’s scientifically flawed. Research shows removing dogs from familiar territories triggers aggression and increases bite incidents. With no government shelters and an estimated annual cost of ₹33,872 crore for feed alone, shelters are an impossible "solution". Tomorrow, we urge the Supreme Court to uphold the only scientific path: Sterilization (ABC) and Vaccination.

There's a new version of this post
Disaster policy must include animals. A national all-hazards, One Health framework—data-led and role-clear—is overdue. Encouraged by @ndmaindia’s direction.
Disasters don’t just displace people; they inflict large-scale misery on animals that disrupts livelihoods and public health.
Our current policy landscape relies on scattered state SOPs without a unified national guideline.
The path forward is clear. We need a comprehensive All-Hazards Framework that fully integrates the protection of all animals into India’s disaster management architecture.
Institutional Alignment, Data-Driven Preparedness, Standardized Response, and One Health Security will all be addressed through @ndmaindia’s efforts - building a system where preparedness and mitigation are a priority and recovery includes long-term disease surveillance.
This is about safeguarding India’s economy as well as our humanity.
Hopeful for a future where every single life is accounted for. 🇮🇳
