India maintains a long-standing connection to animals, and in many ways, it leads the way in animal rights. It was the first Asian nation to ban cosmetics animal testing. It has also banned bullfights, bullock-cart races, and the use of elephants in circuses, and just this month, it banned the import of reptile, chinchilla, mink and fox fur.
The country also has laws to protect street animals, including thousands upon thousands of free-roaming dogs. These dogs are homeless, but not necessarily abandoned. They often descend from generations of free-roaming dogs born on the streets of India’s cities and villages, and the country grants them constitutional rights to live where they were born.
Unfortunately, not all cities and villages have the resources or know-how to care for all these dogs when they become injured or sick, nor to feed their constant hunger. That’s where organizations like Indigree Angels Trust come in. Based in Delhi, India, Indigree Angels Trust is a national non-profit organization dedicated to caring for these canines in a number of ways.
