About Animal Cruelty Legal Aid & Advocacy
Why We Do This
Animals get ignored, their pain dismissed. I can't accept that. I fight for their rights because insaniyat (compassion) matters. Legal action is our tool, but empathy drives us.
What I Actually Do
- Free legal advice if you’re lost about animal welfare laws India or unsure how to act.
- Explain your rights, animal’s rights, and what the law actually says - PCA Act, ABC Rules, BBMP stuff.
- Guide you through complaints, show you how to build a strong case with proper proof.
- Help draft FIRs and legal notices. If it’s a criminal prosecution for animal cruelty in Bengaluru, I’ll fight the case myself.
Bigger Battles
- Not just one-off cases - I file Public Interest Litigation for animal rights when bigger issues (puppy mills, working animal abuse) need a push.
- Push for better laws and stronger protection nationwide.
Real Cases We Handle
- RWAs harassing for feeding or keeping pets
- Beatings, poisoning, acid attacks, hit-and-runs

My Story
We’re CUPA – Compassion Unlimited Plus Action. Started out in Bangalore 30 years ago, just couldn’t turn away from animals hurting on the streets. Not just a job, this is our life. Some days break us, like seeing an old dog dumped by family, or a kitten run over. But then, a puppy finds a home, or someone like Sharadha didi takes in strays, and our faith comes back. We’re vets, rescuers, volunteers – fighting for every animal’s second chance.
My Work
What We Do - Rescue street animals, trauma care, subsidized spay/neuter, adoptions, large animal sanctuary, legal advocacy, and pet vet care.
Emergency Animal Rescue - Sick, injured, or abused animals? We’re there, day or night. Our trauma centers handle tough cases, never giving up.
Adopt a Friend - Dogs, cats, seniors, special-needs babies – all waiting for family. Adopt senior dogs Bangalore and change a life.
Spay & Neuter Programs - We run subsidized spay neuter programs for street cats and dogs. It’s the only way to control population, humanely.
Large Animal Sanctuary - Cows, donkeys, horses, bulls – our large animal sanctuary Karnataka gives them peace after rough lives.
Cruelty Prevention & Legal Help - Our legal team fights cruelty, illegal breeding, and helps animal feeders. We push for better laws, always.
Pet Hospital for All - Bring your pets to our hospital. Vet care, grooming, all proceeds go back to our rescues.
