Recent reports highlight the courageous efforts of Manvi Rai, a passionate animal rights activist from Canada, who has taken a stand against the cruel treatment of stray animals, particularly dogs and cows, by Delhi’s municipalities. As the G20 summit approaches, the distressing plight of these voiceless creatures appears to be hidden from the public eye.

As India prepares for the upcoming G20 Earth Summit, a notable concern has emerged amidst the preparations. Rather than addressing the pressing issues at hand, the Indian government seems more focused on maintaining a facade of success, concealing problems that deserve urgent attention.

Manvi Rai’s protest in Canada serves as a poignant reminder that if we are convening on a global platform to discuss Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam – the concept of the world as one family – we must also extend our care and compassion to these small, helpless members of our shared planet

Recent reports highlight the courageous efforts of Manvi Rai, a passionate animal rights activist from Canada, who has taken a stand against the cruel treatment of stray animals, particularly dogs and cows, by Delhi’s municipalities. As the G20 summit approaches, the distressing plight of these voiceless creatures appears to be hidden from the public eye.

Disturbingly, the Delhi police and local authorities have been forcibly removing these defenseless animals, subjecting some to brutal beatings in the process. Tragically, many of these animals have lost their lives during the transportation to shelters that lack basic sanitation and proper ventilation. Inadequate food provision and neglect leave them with little chance of survival.

Manvi Rai’s protest in Canada serves as a poignant reminder that if we are convening on a global platform to discuss Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam – the concept of the world as one family – we must also extend our care and compassion to these small, helpless members of our shared planet. Her voice resonates as a call to action, urging us to ensure that the welfare of stray animals is not forgotten amidst the grandeur of international summits, but rather treated as an integral part of our collective responsibility to protect Mother Earth.
