In a suspected case of abandonment, five #SiberianHusky #dogs were found deserted near Nandigaon village along the Shankarpally–Patancheru road on the outskirts of #Hyderabad early on Wednesday morning. Another dog was found dead, believed to have succumbed to heatstroke.

Hanur, Chamarajanagar | April 23, 2026 A heartbreaking 17-hour battle ended in tragedy as a 25-year-old female elephant succumbed to severe dehydration & heat exhaustion. Found stuck in the mud while desperately searching for water, she couldnt recover despite emergency medical care. This is a stark symptom of a rapidly warming world, driven by systemic environmental degradation and rising carbon emissions. As global temperatures soar, natural water bodies are vanishing, leaving wildlife to navigate a landscape that can no longer sustain them. Despite these visible warnings, our collective response remains rooted in a dangerous ignorance; we often treat climate change as a distant threat rather than an immediate emergency already claiming lives. By prioritizing rapid urbanization and infrastructure over the preservation of urban forests and biodiversity, we have created a cycle of heat that is as much a result of policy failure as it is of atmospheric change. This elephants struggle is a mirror reflecting our own negligence, a reminder that while we debate the convenience of conservation, the natural world is paying the ultimate price in a crisis of our own making. #ElephantConservation #KarnatakaWildlife #AnimalRights #WildlifeConservation #Karnataka #ClimateCrisis #SaveIndianAnimals #Ecocide @LiveLawIndia @dilthi_gujarati @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @aranya_kfd @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @Tejasvi_Surya @moefcc @ntca_india

"Mamla thanda padega toh saare kutto ko maar dalenge." Read that again. People are openly threatening extreme violence and animal slaughter online, using their caste and community pride as a shield. What kind of sick, regressive mindset breeds in this place? Since when did supporting criminals and threatening voiceless animals become a symbol of bravery? This isn't power, it's pure cowardice and criminality. We need to seriously question the mentality being normalized here. The authorities must take strict action against these open threats. instagram.com/p/DXySLS7iLLj/… #Rajkot #AnimalCruelty #JusticeForVoiceless #EndTheViolence #GujaratPolice

Rundh, Jhagadia - Gujarat. Theres something deeply wrong when a magnificent animal is treated like a sideshow. Captured, caged, and surrounded by a mob of people who seem to have lost their humanity The look in its eyes says it all. Humans claim to be the most advanced species, yet here we are, crowding around a trapped animal like its entertainment. It’s not just a leopard in a cage, its a reflection of our own cruelty. Wildlife belongs in the wild, not in cages being poked and prodded by a crowd. This behavior is absolutely barbaric and highlights the urgent need for better education on human-wildlife conflict. #AnimalRights #WildlifeProtection #HumanityLost #RespectNature #StopAnimalCruelty #WildAndFree #SaveTheLeopards #WildlifeConservation #NatureFirst #SaveIndianAnimals @CollectorBharch @BharuchPolice @GujForestDept @GujaratPolice @CMOGuj @dilthi_gujarati

🚨 @PoliceRajasthan @JaisalmerPolice @RajCMO A viral video from Jaisalmer shows a dog being chased by a tractor—this is blatant animal cruelty and a punishable offense. If such brutality goes unchecked. Act NOW—identify the culprits and take strict legal action now #AnimalCruelty

Gandhi Sagar, MP is being electrocuted and its absolute madness. Im looking at the footage from Gandhi Sagar Dam and its gut wrenching. This isnt just a fishing issue. its a massacre. People are literally dropping live wires into the water with UPS batteries just to score a bulk catch. The result? A graveyard. We are seeing hundreds of fish and even a crocodile, a protected species floating dead because they happened to be in the wrong place when the current hit. This electro-fishing is a lazy, brutal, and illegal shortcut that destroys the entire aquatic balance in seconds. Where is the administrative accountability? We talk about conservation, but then let smugglers turn our dams into electric death traps. Stop the shock. Before theres nothing left to save. #GandhiSagar #WildlifeCrime #MadhyaPradesh #Ecocide #JusticeForWildlife #Mandsaur #ForestDepartment #SaveIndianDogs @PMOIndia @LiveLawIndia @minforestmp @moefcc @byadavbjp @CMandsaur @mandsaur_sp @dilthi_gujarati timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/el…

Oh, look at that another "major crackdown" by the authorities that only proves how spectacular we are at failing our wildlife. We have had the Wildlife Protection Act since 1972 thats over 50 years of strictly prohibiting ivory trade and yet, here we are in 2026, still watching four guys try to hawk tusks in a Chembur hotel, mumbai like its a flea market. Its almost impressive how these wider trafficking networks continue to thrive right under the noses of law enforcement until a tip off literally falls into their laps. If the laws are so strict, why are elephants still being butchered for parts that end up in suitcases on RC Marg? Having a law on paper doesnt save an elephant if the deterrent is so weak that people like Akash Awhad and his crew still think the risk is worth the profit. Stop patting yourselves on the back for catching the bottom feeders while the animals are still fading away. #WildlifeProtectionAct #Failure #EndWildlifeCrime #MumbaiCrime #SaveIndianAnimals @MumbaiPolice @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @MahaForest @moefcc @pfaindia @PetaIndia @dilthi_gujarati @LiveLawIndia @PMOIndia

The headlines say BRAVERY, but the footage shows a cornered, terrified animal being treated with zero dignity. This leopard in Dhar, MP, wasnt just captured, it was manhandled and suffocated by a mob in a pile of trash. We cannot claim to respect nature while we treat our apex predators like this when they lose their way. True conservation means humane management, not vigilante cruelty. This beautiful creature deserved a professional rescue, not a struggle for its life against a crowd. #WildlifeCruelty #Leopard #Dhar #MadhyaPradesh #AnimalRights #VoiceForTheVoiceless #SaveIndianAnimals @mpfdept @MPPoliceDeptt @CMMadhyaPradesh @moefcc @ntca_india @PetaIndia @Manekagandhibjp @dilthi_gujarati

The Fish. Lucy is about 12. Lived on our street in Goa. One day she walked into our house, and when we didn’t ask her to leave, she slept for four days continuously. Like she knew she was safe. Now she’s a Mumbaikar. Really a very well mannered dog. You can tell she was previously owned, and abandoned. Last night, my diet has begun for the next movie role. I’m eating steamed fish. This dog who never begs, loses her mind. Will not stop staring at the fish. The smell drives her insane. Then I realise. This is a Goan dog. She probably had fish every week. I give her a piece. It’s a moment where I think “I know you had a life without me, I sometimes wish you didn’t and we had your whole time together”. I hope she’s thinking the same thing. We both eat the fish.

Five tiger deaths in just one week at Kanha Tiger Reserve and we are supposed to accept silence or vague explanations? A tigress and her cub are gone, days after three more cubs were found dead. Suspected canine distemper virus. How did it spread unchecked? Were there no early warning signs? No monitoring? No intervention? This isn’t just an “incident” its a failure of protection. When one of Indias most critical wildlife reserves cant safeguard its own tigers, what does that say about our conservation systems? We need transparency. We need accountability. And we need immediate action to prevent further loss not after the damage is done, but now. #SaveTigers #WildlifeCrisis #Accountability #KanhaTigerReserve #SaveIndianAnimals @TrKanha @LiveLawIndia @PMOIndia @RenukaCCongress @deespeak @bhumipednekar @barandbench @mpfdept @moefcc @ntca_india @PetaIndia @pfaindia @CMMadhyaPradesh @dilthi_gujarati @pawsunmute @SpotzHaroon

A pet-friendly upgrade or a cage in disguise? The new Vande Bharat Sleeper has sparked conversation online for its dedicated pet box facility, and the response has been sharply divided. On one hand, it marks a clear shift—Indian Railways formally acknowledging that pets are part of travelling families. A structured space, pre-booking system, and basic provisions like food and water holders signal an attempt to include what was earlier missing from long-distance train travel. On the other hand, the viral visuals have also triggered questions about comfort, space, and design, especially for overnight journeys. At its core, the debate reflects a larger shift in how we view public transport today: not just as functional mobility, but as shared space that must balance convenience, accessibility, and welfare for all passengers—human and otherwise. #IndianRailways #PetTravel #PublicTransport #TravelDebate #VandeBharatSleeper [Indian Railways Pet Policy, Vande Bharat Sleeper Pets, Train Travel With Pets India, Pet Friendly Public Transport, Animal Welfare In Transit]

The "I didnt know" excuse doesnt work for our forests anymore. At Mollem - Goa, Survey No. 24, hundreds of trees are suspected to have been cut illegally. While the Forest Dept investigates 9 trees, the aerial footage shows massive clearing. The Panchayat says they only saw applications for water/electricity. This level of administrative negligence is how we lose our green cover. When does the felling stop and the accountability begin? #GoaNews #ForestProtection #SaveGoa #MollemUnderThreat #ECOCIDE @goacm @goaforests @DrPramodPSawant @goafoundation @Manekagandhibjp @dilthi_gujarati @SpotzHaroon @pawsunmute

This pup is being lovingly cared for by a young boy who sells Sikangi here. The child has taken very good care of this little one. If anyone would like to support by helping with the puppy’s vaccination or any other small assistance, it would be really nice Location: in photo

A small bowl of water outside your home can become a lifeline for voiceless souls battling the harsh heat. Birds, stray dogs, cats, and other animals suffer silently from thirst every single day. Your one kind gesture can save a life. Refill it daily, keep it clean, and place it in a shaded spot. Compassion does not need wealth, it only needs a caring heart. Please keep a water bowl outside your house and help those who cannot ask for help. Humanity is measured by how we treat the most helpless among us. #BeKind #WaterForAnimals #CompassionMatters

ANOTHER GANG IN TELANGANA WAS CAUGHT RED-HANDED! Why is the media silent about these crimes?Three weeks ago, the AASRA team in Telangana caught a group that was going on a spree of killing dogs. It’s not new. There have been repeated incidents of dogs being killed mercilessly, even in places without any reported dog bite cases. In many instances, it’s actually villagers who call rescue teams to save the dogs and help catch such criminals. In this recent case, another group was caught red-handed. They were carrying a large quantity of drugs, which, shockingly, a pharmaceutical company had allegedly allowed them to access. Why didn’t the media, like The Hindu, The Indian Express, and Press Trust of India, cover this? They highlight every dog bite case without always investigating whether it was provoked or not. But when it comes to groups like this, why the silence? @AmbikaShukla15 @SpotzHaroon #StopAnimalCruelty #BeKindToAnimals #AnimalRights #saveindiafromdoghaters #JusticeForStrays #StopAnimalCruelty #Accountability #AmendPCA #NoMore50 #SaveIndianDogs #AwaraNahiHamaraHai @rashtrapatibhvn @THaPriYa123 @JahnaviIyer @dilthi_gujarati

Is Delhi CLEANING UP by dumping its community dogs in UP? Heartbreaking footage shows dogs reportedly relocated from Delhi to the Delhi-Dehradun Highway (Saharanpur section) and left to starve. Without food or water, these animals are turning to cannibalism just to survive. This is not animal management, its state-sponsored cruelty. We demand an investigation into who authorized this relocation! @MCD_Delhi @gupta_rekha @CMOfficeUP @Uppolice @joedelhi @dilthi_gujarati @SpotzHaroon @LiveLawIndia @pawsunmute @PMOIndia #AnimalRights #Delhi #Saharanpur #StopTheCruelty #IndiaAnimalActivism #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs

A heartfelt request to everyone please keep a bowl of clean water outside your house, balcony, terrace, shop, or street corner for these voiceless souls. Summers are truly harsh, and countless birds, dogs, cats, cows, and other animals suffer silently due to the non-availability of clean drinking water. Many wander for hours under the scorching sun searching for just a few drops to survive. A small step from us can create a significant change in their lives. One simple bowl of water can save a life, bring relief, and become a source of hope for a thirsty soul. Please refill it daily, keep it clean, and place it in a shaded safe spot. Kindness does not always need grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with a small bowl of water. #AnimalWelfare #dogs

A cow tied behind a vehicle with license plate MH14LX3995, is being dragged on a busy road in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra while bystanders watched and recorded instead of intervening to stop the vehicle. This incident raises a painful question: what has happened to the status of Gaumata when she can be treated with such blatant disregard and cruelty in our streets? @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @PawarSpeaks @PCcityPolice @PMOIndia #nomore50
