Look at what the new 2026 Draft Rules quietly do: Erase Lifetime Rehabilitation: Since 2006, labs were legally forbidden from killing healthy animals after experiments and had to pay for their lifetime care. 2026 draft deletes this; making killing after experiments the default.

No More Surprise Inspections: Labs must now be given "prior intimation" before CCSEA inspection teams arrive; giving abusive facilities time to hide dying animals and clean up cages.

The government wants to weaken the rules on animal experiments in India. You have until 5 November to object. CCSEA has published draft rules that would replace the protections lab animals have had since 1998. If they go through: Labs could source animals from open markets, and stray animals could be used under exemptions. Labs would approve most of their own experiments, including on dogs and primates. The duty to rehabilitate animals after experiments would go. The requirement to use anaesthesia would go, and painful procedures such as electric shock and prolonged isolation are listed as permissible. Many of these changes go against the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act itself. What you can do: send an objection to [email protected] before 5 November. I’ve drafted one you can copy, add your name and send. Scan the QR code for the draft. Go to this page for the draft - jo.my/objections Please share this.

Important to oppose the Draft Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Control and Supervision of Experiment, Breeding and Trading of Laboratory Animals) Rules, 2026.

This must be opposed tooth and nail. There's no excuse for it. Roll it back.

This is absolutely cruel. This cannot be passed. Our country's values should not be going this low. @Manekagandhibjp @PMOIndia @narendramodi

After the European Parliament passed a resolution that commits to phase out animal experiments, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (@PetaIndia) India sent a letter to Prime Minister #NarendraModi on Wednesday, requesting him to take similar action in India.

I have written to Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Thiru.@LalanSingh_1 urging him to review and withdraw the proposed Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Rules, 2026, in their current form. Diluting independent oversight, weakening safeguards and permitting broader exemptions for animal experimentation raise serious concerns. India must strengthen ethical research, protect animals and accelerate alternatives to animal testing. Science must advance with compassion, accountability and transparency. @mkstalin @Udhaystalin @arivalayam @dmk_youthwing @DMKITwing @dmksdwing @DMK_Chennai

एक बात तो साफ है कि animal testing के नियमों में बदलाव क्रूरता को बढ़ावा देगा. बेज़ुबान जानवरों को experiments के लिए और ज़्यादा आसानी से उपलब्ध करा देगा. जानवरों को भी दर्द होता है, उन्हें भी डर लगता है, सिर्फ वो अपनी तकलीफ कह नहीं पाते. हम सबको जानवरों को लेकर बनाए गए नए नियमों के खिलाफ अपनी आपत्ति दर्ज करानी चाहिए. इस के लिए 5 नवंबर की deadline है. #AnimalTesting #PETA #MyTake #AajKiBaat

I would appeal to all to oppose the Draft Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Control and Supervision of Experiment, Breeding and Trading of Laboratory Animals) Rules, 2026. The draft rules, circulated by the Centre, will allow capture and use of wild animals—including endangered or protected Show More species under vague "scientific justification”. The draft rules also permit experiments on community and free-ranging stray dogs and cats. The rules also accommodate extreme procedures, like electric shocks, prolonged isolation of animals like dogs and monkeys and induced tumors Animal lovers have opposed this. PETA India has demanded withdrawal of these draft rules. One thing is clear. Change in animal lab testing rules will encourage cruelty to animals. If ethics panel gets the powers for granting approval to such lab experiments, nobody can stop it. During lab tests, animals undergo insufferable pain, but they cannot express it like humans. Rabbits, rats, monkeys and dogs are kept in small cages in labs, they are given needle pricks regularly. Since they are animals, no consent can be taken. The ideal condition is: use of animals in lab trials must be kept to the bare minimum and care must be taken that the animals do not suffer pain. As far as possible, non-animal testing should replace animal testing, but the new draft rules will put the clock back. In many countries animal testing is difficult and costly, and India may be used as the place at cheap costs. This is dangerous. We should register our objections over these new draft rules. Since November 5 is the deadline, I would appeal to all to scan the relevant QR code to register your objections.

"Animal experimentation" "..when scientists can study human organs on chips, grow human tissues in laboratories, & predict toxicity using sophisticated computer models, India must move forward, not backwards.” @gauri_maulekhi @PetaIndia @pfaindia thehindubusinessline.com/new…

You NEED to see this 👀🎬 SENTIENT brings scientists on both sides of the animal testing debate into the spotlight, including PETA's Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, formerly a primate researcher, who's now leading our fight to end experiments on primates.
