We live in an age where every moment is captured, shared, and consumed. Social media has become our new cinema. But unlike films, there are no visible guidelines when animals are used in online content.

Dead fish held up for aesthetic appeal. Chickens confined for a photoshoot. Dogs treated as accessories. Animals placed in distressing environments for engagement. Exploitation should never be portrayed as ART.

We should ask for accountability to every individuals who are indulged in such horrific practices and promotes that among their audience.

In films, disclaimers are mandatory. “No animals were harmed.” There is oversight. There are protocols. Why should the digital world be any different?

In the Indian subcontinent, we speak proudly of Ahimsa. Non-violence is not just a word. It is a civilizational principle. Yet we have normalized using voiceless beings as props for likes, views, and branding.

This petition is not about attacking creators, nor their freedom of choice. But their choice should not have victims. The petition is about setting standards and making people aware of the cruelty associated.

We call upon authorities and digital platforms to establish clear ethical guidelines for the portrayal and use of animals in social media content. This includes:

• Mandatory transparency when animals are used
• Prohibition of staged harm or distress
• Ban on using dead animals as aesthetic props
• Clear reporting mechanisms for misuse

Compassion should not depend on platform. Respect should not depend on medium. Animals are not objects. They are living beings with fear, stress, and pain.

We ask for accountability.
We ask for clarity.
We ask for consistency between our values and our actions.

If we truly believe in Ahimsa, it must exist not just in scripture, but in our timelines.

Please Sign this petition to ensure that digital influence does not come at the cost of silent suffering.
