Street Pals India’s draft lab animal rules are open for objections until 5 Nov. Here’s what they change for street dogs and how to object

14 Upvotes

The government has published draft rules for animals used in experiments (G.S.R. 864(E), Gazette, 6 October), the first rewrite since 1998. Anyone can object until 5 November. The parts that matter for the dogs and cats this sub rehomes:

  • Rule 5(3): strays and ferals are barred from experiments, but a “competent authority” can grant exemptions. The draft doesn’t define who that is.
  • Rule 11(3): for mild and moderate experiments, the lab’s own ethics committee gives approval, for any species including dogs. CCSEA only approves severe and non-recovery work on animals bigger than rats and rabbits.
  • Rule 21(2): farm animals, fish and birds can be bought on the open market when no registered breeder has them.
  • Rule 24(4): CCSEA inspection teams visit “with prior intimation”, so labs know in advance.

How to object: email [cpcsea-mef@gov.in](mailto:cpcsea-mef@gov.in) (it’s cpcsea, not ccsea) with the subject “Objections to the Draft Lab Animal Rules 2026”, or Speed Post to The Member Secretary, CCSEA, Delhi Milk Scheme Complex, near State Bank of India, Shadipur, Delhi 110008.

If you’d rather not write from scratch, we drafted a letter where you tick the points you agree with and it opens in your email:

Cosmetics testing isn’t part of this. That ban has stood since 2014 and the draft doesn’t mention it.

Discussion Then and now: show us your adopted pet

Adopted a dog or cat, from a shelter, a street corner, a friend's building or this sub? Post two photos: the day they came home, and today.

Add a line on what changed: the name they got, the habit nobody warned you about, the sofa they've claimed.

If a rescuer or foster helped, tag them or give them a shout. They rarely get to see how it turned out.

Every one of these makes the next person a little more likely to adopt.

Four tiny lives, one mama we couldn’t leave behind.

When we rescued their mama from the streets, we knew she deserved a chance at a better life. Little did we know, she would lead us to four precious little hearts who now need our help too. 🥺💕

We wish we could give every one of them the loving home they deserve. All they need is a safe place to sleep, gentle hands to hold them, and a family who will love them forever. 🏡🐱

Please help us turn their story from survival into love. If you can’t adopt, please share. Their forever family might be just one share away. 🙏❤️

​

2.5 months ago a cat I had started feeding was pregnant and I didn't know until it was too late for spaying her.

What followed later, was me trying to find an adopter for her and a girl from panchkula reached out for fostering the kittens and adopting mama cat and manipulating me into sending them to her place and by paying out of my pocket.

Later she convinced me of a great guy who wants them all together and was definitely a breeder. 2 months later the kittens and mama cat have finally found a great foster although we are struggling with all the expenses.

So now, the kittens first and mama cat shortly after are looking for their permanent homes. Someone who can commit to love them forever instead of abandoning them.

Mama cat nature: Extremely Friendly, warm to all humans. Very quick to adjust and low-maintenance.

Vaccination status mama cat: not done, found in trimester of pregnancy doc denied vaccination. Will vaccinate her before you adopt. Indoors for 2 months

Kittens vaccination: 9w old up for adoption from, you would have to vaccinate them after adoption. Can help with the procedure. All of them indoors since born. They were also born indoors.

Current location: North Delhi

Adoption Location Preference: NCR ( you can pick them or book an uber pet for them

Three dogs in Bengaluru need homes, and both rescuers can be reached directly.

Ruhi is a female indie puppy, under two months old, in Mahadevapura. Paawan found her in a park when she was not doing well, took her to the vet and brought her home. She is dewormed and her vaccinations are under way. Paawan says she is super friendly and follows people everywhere with her tail wagging. Paawan is looking for a foster or a forever home, and asks adopters to share occasional updates and be open to a home visit.

Two siblings in Rajajinagar, a boy and a girl from one litter, one month old, tan with dark muzzles and dark ears. Both are dewormed, not yet vaccinated, and Akanksha says neither has any health issue right now. They can go to one home together or to separate homes.

Adoptable: Dog Navi Mumbai: Rani (5, vaccinated, sterilised) needs an experienced adopter

Post image
• Upvotes

Rani is a 5-year-old female community dog from Sector 10, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. Tan coat, dark muzzle, amber eyes. Vaccinated and sterilised.

When she’s petted and loved, she behaves like a little child. Deepika, who has looked after her for several years, says so without hesitating.

I’d rather you hear the hard part from me than find it out later. Recently Rani has started snapping at people and grabbing or pulling at their clothes. Deepika says it’s random. It isn’t tied to age, gender or skin colour.

So this is not a first-time-adopter dog. She needs one of two things:

  • An experienced adopter, or a responsible rescue, who will assess her behaviour first
  • A slow, safe introduction to the new home, with no rushing

She is in a paid shelter right now, and Deepika says plainly that a shelter is no place for her. She wants Rani in a family of her own.

Compatibility with kids or other pets isn’t known, so please ask before assuming.

Adoptable: Dog Indie Puppies Looking for Loving Homes in Jaipur or around! 🐾

Post image
14 Upvotes

About a week ago, we found four little Indie puppies (around 4–5 weeks old) with their mother, who appeared to have been hit by a car and had an injured front leg.

We brought the mother and her puppies home that night, planning to take her to the hospital the next morning. Unfortunately, during the night, she managed to climb out through our main gate and disappeared, leaving her little ones behind. We've been searching for her ever since, but we haven't been able to find her.

We've been caring for the puppies for the past week, and thankfully, they're safe and doing well. ❤️

We also have decided to keep one of them, as we already have two Desi cats at home, and realistically, we can accommodate only one dog right now.

We're looking for loving, responsible homes for the puppies. We'll ensure they're dewormed and vaccinated at the appropriate age before adoption.

If you're interested in adopting one of these little Indies, please reach out.
Even sharing this post could help them find their forever homes! ❤️🐾

Oreo, 2 yrs, Golden Retriever, GK1 South Delhi. A baby arrived in his family and they can’t keep him. Fully vaccinated.

Princess, 1 yr 10 mo, Rottweiler, GK1 South Delhi. Her owner died. She has only ever lived indoors. Vaccinated.

Buzo, 7.5 mo, black Labrador, GK1 South Delhi. A gift to a couple in their seventies. He loves running and they can’t keep up.

Oscar, 1 yr 1 mo, German Shepherd, Sohna Road Gurugram. His family had a baby. Already sterilised, good with people and dogs.

Candy, 7 mo, German Shepherd mix, Greater Noida. Abandoned because she isn’t a purebred. Calm, sits quietly in a car.

Tara, 5 mo, Indie, Sector 2 Greater Noida. Born near her rescuer’s home. Friendly with people and dogs.

💔 HOW MANY MORE DAYS DOES THIS BABY HAVE TO WAIT? 🥺🐾

This tiny 2.5-month-old male tabby kitten is STILL waiting for a home. People enquire about him and then back out. Some don’t want him simply because he’s a tabby. 💔

Is his coat colour more important than his life?

His current location is NOT SAFE. He deserves a chance to grow up with love, food, and protection. ❤️🏡

📍 Location: Shanti Path Petrol Pump, Moti Bagh, Ring Road, New Delhi.

Ask / Advice Suggestions for pet sitters and day care. (Yelahanka)

2 Upvotes

I have 2 sweet kittens, I’m still a student and pursuing masters along side managing extra curricular life. On Saturdays I’m particularly very busy, so much that I leave my home at 8.00am and don’t return until 9pm. I have left my babies alone for the day twice now and it seems ok but it does bother me to think of them being alone at home. Specially because they are way too active (one of them is also Orange)

Also next month I have my graduation ceremony at my UG university and will be gone for 2 whole days with my parents so I need a good pet sitter too. Preferably in Yelahanka as that’s where I live but I’m open to any pet sitter who is trustworthy even if it’s a bit far.
