India’s proposed 2026 draft rules on animal experimentation risk weakening important safeguards. Join Freagles of India in urging the Government of India to withdraw the draft and strengthen animal-welfare protections.

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.

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.

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…

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.
