We, the people of India, having inherited a civilisation rooted in compassion, coexistence, and reverence for all life, seek to reaffirm before this Hon’ble Court the timeless duty enshrined in our collective religion and conscience: the duty to feed the hungry, protect the weak, and honour the living world that shares our land. Guided by the spirit of our Constitution and the moral traditions of every faith that flourishes in our nation, we submit this appeal in unity and hope.

We, the people of India, voluntarily and without burden to the State exchequer, care for the stray animals who dwell among us. In doing so, we fulfil the fundamental duty under Article 51A(g) "to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures;" and uphold the constitutional vision of dignity, fraternity, and justice for all beings. Our service is not a claim against the exchequer, but an expression of our cultural identity and constitutional loyalty.

We, the people, conscious of scientific truth and ecological necessity, affirm that stray dogs form an indispensable part of India’s urban ecosystem. By naturally regulating rodent populations, they protect human communities from diseases of grave concern. Their presence is not a threat but a stabilising force, recognised by ecological research and acknowledged in humane jurisprudence.

We, the people, faithful to the laws of the Republic, rely on this Hon’ble Court’s own pronouncements—recognise the dignity of animals and affirm the constitutional mandate to protect them under Articles 14, 21, 51A(g) and 48A "The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country" The Animal Birth Control Rules, upheld time and again, provide the sole lawful mechanism for humane, scientific, and effective animal population management.

We, the people, deeply concerned for the harmony of our communities and the welfare of our animals, respectfully urge that the ongoing suo motu directions be reconsidered. Their continuation may unintentionally create fear, conflict, and contradictions with established law. The recent order threatens to disrupt this coexistence, potentially leading to the displacement or even culling of many community animals.

We, the people, seek a reaffirmation of humane, lawful, and constitutional procedures that preserve justice for both citizens and animals. We seek safeguards in performing our duty, to care for animals, to feed and shelter. 

We, the people, inspired by the call of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, who has time and again in his national broadcast Mann Ki Baat, encouraged the nation to feed,protect, and care for stray animals, find our actions aligned with national moral leadership and civilisational continuity. Compassion for the voiceless is not merely sentiment—it is a reflection of India’s soul.

We, the people of India, in solemn faith, approach this Hon’ble Court—guardian of the constitution, sentinel of justice, and protector of the weak. With humility and conviction, we urge that our cultural heritage, our constitutional duties, our ecological wisdom, and our shared humanity be recognised and upheld.

We, the people, hereby submit this petition in unity and fraternity, seeking a future in which compassion is strengthened, coexistence is preserved, and the voiceless beings of our nation are not abandoned to fear or fate.

This order not only poses ethical and humanitarian concerns but also conflicts with existing laws and guidelines that protect animal rights. The Constitution of India, under Article 51A(g), imposes a duty on every citizen to have compassion for living creatures. Additionally, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and various judgments from the Supreme Court of India reiterate the need to approach issues involving animals with care and empathy.

The Undersigned:

Concerned Citizens of India, acting in furtherance of our Fundamental Duties under Article 51A(g) of the Constitution of India.
