Stop Cruel Poisoning, Starving, and Abuse of Street Dogs

Target: Mr. Bhupender Yadav, Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change – Government of India

Goal: Protect street dogs in India from cruelty and ensure their well-being and safety.

Street dogs in India are often subjected to cruel treatment, including physical abuse, poisoning, and neglect. These animals are vulnerable and often face a life of suffering on the streets. According to animal welfare organizations, such as PETA India and Blue Cross of India, there are an estimated 30 million street dogs in India, many of whom suffer from malnutrition, injuries, and diseases.

The lack of proper animal control measures in many parts of the country leads to overpopulation and the spread of diseases, such as rabies, which can pose a serious threat to public health. According to the World Health Organization, India has the highest number of rabies deaths in the world, with an estimated 20,000 people dying from the disease each year.

To protect the well-being of street dogs in India, it is crucial to raise awareness about the importance of animal welfare and push for the adoption of more humane practices. This includes implementing effective animal control measures, such as spaying and neutering, vaccination, and proper care of sick or injured animals. In addition, community-based programs that promote responsible pet ownership and provide education on animal welfare can help reduce the number of street dogs and improve their living conditions.
