Target: Edappadi K Palaniswami, Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Animal Welfare Board
Goal: Ensure legal punishment for individuals involved in the alleged animal mistreatment.
At Sangamithra Farm in Coimbatore, an apparent scene of animal mistreatment was unearthed, sparking widespread outrage and a call for justice. A raid led by the Tamil Nadu Animal Welfare Board (TNAWB), following multiple complaints, seemingly revealed animals in deplorable conditions, allegedly suffering from neglect and abuse. Two camels, four horses, two donkeys, a dog, and two puppies were apparently in dire straits, with three camels missing and one reported dead due to neglect. These disturbing facts demand immediate legal action against those responsible.
Further investigation into this case uncovered unsettling evidence. Videos surfaced showing farm workers allegedly striking camels with iron rods, highlighting the apparent cruelty these animals faced. The response from officials was swift, with immediate orders to seize the animals and provide them with emergency care and treatment. This apparent evidence of animal cruelty underlines the need for stringent legal measures to ensure such atrocities are not repeated.
This petition calls for the Tamil Nadu Animal Welfare Board’s Director to take decisive legal action against those allegedly responsible for the mistreatment of animals at Sangamithra Farm. The harrowing conditions and abuse these animals reportedly endured must not go unpunished. We demand justice and a strong message that such cruelty will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Edappadi K Palaniswami,
Recent events at Sangamithra Farm in Coimbatore have shed light on a disturbing report of animal mistreatment. Allegations of animals being kept in filthy conditions, without consent from the Animal Welfare Board of India for their use, require your immediate attention. The rescue of these animals, following the raid, highlights a severe problem that demands stringent legal action.
Videos allegedly showing farm workers striking camels with iron rods have stirred public outcry. This evidence, coupled with the conditions in which these animals were reportedly found, paints a grim picture of the reality faced by animals at Sangamithra Farm. Immediate legal action against those responsible for this alleged cruelty is not just a necessity but a moral imperative.
Therefore, we urge you to ensure that individuals allegedly involved in this act of cruelty face appropriate legal consequences. The Tamil Nadu Animal Welfare Board has a responsibility to protect animals from such mistreatment. By taking a firm stance against this cruelty, you will be sending a clear message that such acts will not be tolerated. We demand justice for the animals of Sangamithra Farm and a commitment to prevent such atrocities in the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The true animals were the men with the steel rods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please remove and rehome all these poor animals and throw the perps involved in torturing them in jail for a long period of time. Also the farm should be put under the radar for animal cruelty, better yet shut it down for good!
Yes! Shut this place down! These people should never get another chance to be animal caretakers! They have failed miserably and should be in prison.
