PETA urges India to rethink stray animal confinement plan

India Jan 03, 2026

PETA has asked Prime Minister Modi to reject a proposal that would keep stray animals in lifelong confinement.
Instead, they're pushing for more humane solutions, sharing roadmaps grounded in the principles of Ahimsa and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Why PETA says confinement won't work

PETA warns that locking up millions of stray dogs could lead to disease outbreaks and is just not practical with India's resources.
They also point out this plan doesn't solve bigger issues like abandoned cattle or overcrowded shelters.
Instead, PETA suggests cracking down on illegal dairies and supporting plant-based options as better ways to help both animals and communities.
