Justice for the Voiceless: Make Animal Cruelty a Non-Bailable Offense in India

Recent signers:
Kathryn Rabalais and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Every day in India, animals are tortured, mutilated, and murdered — and their killers walk free.

A dog burned alive. A pregnant elephant fed a firecracker. A street cow beaten to death.

And what does the law say? ₹50. That’s all.

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 is a 64-year-old law. It is outdated, toothless, and offers no real protection to animals.

We, the citizens of India, demand urgent change:

Make animal cruelty a non-bailable offense
Introduce minimum jail time of 3–5 years for acts that cause injury, trauma, or death
Set up fast-track courts to handle animal cruelty cases swiftly
Ensure police must file an FIR when a complaint is lodged
Animals cannot speak, but we can. We must.

Sign this petition if you believe India must rise to protect its voiceless souls.
Together, let’s force the system to listen.
