Dear donors, thanks to your generous contributions. Your support has enabled us to create lasting change for animals in need. Check out the milestones we have achieved so far:

➜ Cattle Welfare in Delhi

• Visited 148 dairies and 3 unauthorized dairy colonies.
• Documented conditions of over 10,000 cattle, including those abandoned or in unlicensed dairies.
• Highlighted the issue to authorities, resulting in the formation of a multi-departmental committee to develop an SOP to address the issue of abandoned and unlicensed cattle.
• This intervention has the potential to impact at least 20,000 cattle.

➜ Combating Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD)

• Carried out detailed research and analyzed the factors contributing to LSD. Around 32,00,000 cattle in India have been affected by LSD between 2019 and February 2023.
• Accordingly, a comprehensive SOP was developed focusing on vector control, hygiene protocols, and cattle health monitoring to reduce the likelihood of LSD.
• Proposed the use of Unique Identification Numbers (UINs) on cattle, allowing the State Animal Husbandry Department to trace cattle status and health.

➜ Improving Pig Farms in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana

• Conducted on-site visits to 53 pig farms (31 in UP and 22 in Haryana).
• Found pigs living in poor conditions, with inadequate ventilation and hygiene.
• Compiled reports that led State Pollution Control Boards to issue directives for improving conditions, impacting over 7,000 pigs.

➜ Delhi-Specific Handbook on Animal Protection Laws

• Initiated the development of a handbook tailored to Delhi's specific needs.
• Included important statutes, court citations, and best practices for enforcing animal protection laws.
• The handbook will be distributed across 18 District Headquarters, the Delhi Police Academy, and Special Branch Offices, potentially impacting over 3,22,000 cattle, 76,346 pigs, and 1,37,301 other animals.
