PETA India’s investigation into Palamur Biosciences raises serious concerns about the treatment of animals inside the facility. According to the findings, dogs, minipigs, and rhesus macaques were reportedly subjected to severe neglect, improper handling, and conditions that may violate basic welfare standards.

If these concerns go unaddressed, more animals may continue to suffer and public trust in research oversight will be further weakened. Immediate action is essential to ensure accountability, protect animals, and uphold ethical and legal responsibilities.

With complaints already submitted to authorities, now is the time for swift and thorough intervention.

Key allegations include:

1. Beagles with untreated, bloody wounds, ulcers, and injuries; some seen lying in pools of blood.
2. Minipigs bred illegally on-site, with newborn piglets reportedly killed painfully by cardiac injection without sedation.
3. Rhesus macaques allegedly obtained illegally from the wild, some with dangerous pathogens; the company reportedly killed them quietly.
4. Physical abuse, including staff kicking animals or crushing limbs in cage doors.
5. Extreme overcrowding, with about 1,500 dogs kept in space meant for 800, leading to fights and injuries.
6. Mass killings, including over 100 dogs killed because they were deemed no longer “useful,” and dogs frequently killed without sedation.

Overall, the report depicts systemic neglect, suffering, and procedural violations within the facility.
