Target: Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana, India
Goal: Permanently shut down the laboratory, revoke all licences, and seek the strictest legal penalties for the apparent torture of dogs, monkeys, and pigs in pre-clinical tests.
An undercover whistleblower has reportedly exposed a grim world hidden behind the walls of a contract-testing facility. According to the evidence supplied to police, dogs were allegedly subjected to deliberate, severe injuries; piglets were purportedly poisoned until they bled; and wild-caught rhesus macaques were apparently tormented in violation of every recognised animal-welfare protocol. Video and photographic documentation, now part of an official First Information Report, reportedly depicts systemic cruelty that spanned species and experiments.
The police complaint cites multiple sections of India’s criminal, public-safety, and wildlife-protection laws. Officers assert that animals were killed unlawfully, maimed beyond recovery, and kept in conditions posing a potential disease threat to humans. The allegations also include the reported capture of protected macaques from the wild—an act that, under the law, constitutes hunting. Despite these grave assertions, the facility remains operational while authorities await an inspection report.
Leaving this laboratory open seemingly risks ongoing suffering for animals and erodes public trust in India’s regulatory safeguards. Sign below to demand swift and decisive action—closure of the site, cancellation of every operating license, and criminal prosecution to the fullest extent—to demonstrate that India’s scientific progress cannot be built on cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Reddy,
Police in Telangana have registered a report detailing evidence that dogs, rhesus macaques, and minipigs were allegedly mutilated, poisoned, and killed inside a government-registered research facility. Investigators cite apparent violations of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, the Wild Life Protection Act, and numerous Indian Penal Code provisions. Images and testimony reportedly show dogs suffering intentional wounds, piglets bleeding after toxic exposure, and wild macaques held and experimented upon in clear defiance of CCSEA protocols.
Such conduct, if proven, is not merely non-compliance—it is profound, deliberate cruelty that undermines India’s scientific credibility. Allowing the accused laboratory to continue operating while an inspection report is pending endangers more animals and sends a dangerous message that ethics can be ignored.
We therefore urge CCSEA to move for immediate and permanent closure of the facility, cancellation of all project approvals and import permits, and vigorous support for felony charges that could result in substantial prison sentences, fines, and a lifetime ban on animal use. A clear, uncompromising response will protect animals, uphold the rule of law, and reaffirm India’s commitment to humane science.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
