Dashrath Putra Foundation Launches Initiative Urging Public to Report Commercial Animal Exploitation

Dashrath Putra Foundation Launches Initiative Urging Public to Report Commercial Animal Exploitation: In many parts of our country, animals are still used commercially for rides, transport, entertainment, photography and profit-driven activities. Horses are made to walk endlessly on hot roads for joyrides. Camels are forced to carry heavy loads and tourists for long hours. Ponies are overworked in crowded tourist spots. Bullocks are pushed beyond their physical limits. Even donkeys and other working animals silently suffer in markets and construction areas.

People often see this and feel helpless. Some ignore it. Some feel bad but don’t know what to do. We want to say clearly: You are not helpless. You can report. And we will respond.

This initiative aims to transform passive concern into responsible action by giving citizens a clear and structured way to intervene lawfully and compassionately.

The Reality Behind Commercial Animal Use

Horse rides, camel rides, and other animal-based attractions may look harmless on the surface. But behind the scenes, many animals suffer due to:

Overloading beyond their physical capacity
Long working hours without proper rest
No access to clean water
Poor nutrition
Lack of veterinary care
Injuries left untreated
Forced movement on concrete roads causing joint damage
Tight harnesses causing wounds and infections

Animals cannot speak. They cannot complain. They cannot demand medical help. They cannot refuse work even when they are injured.

When a horse keeps walking with a limp, when a camel refuses to sit, when a pony looks weak and dehydrated — these are not “normal behaviors.” These are warning signs. Exploitation should never be normalized.

What You Can Do: Reporting Saves Lives

If you see:

A horse being used continuously for rides in extreme heat
A camel tied for long hours without water
An animal bleeding from harness wounds
An overworked pony in tourist areas
Any animal being beaten, overburdened, or neglected

Report it to us. Your report can save a life.

You do not need to confront anyone. You do not need to argue. Just inform us with:

Location details
Photos or videos (if safely possible)
Time and date
Nature of concern

Once we receive a report, our team will verify the situation and conduct a proper ground inspection.

What We Do After a Report

We do not act emotionally. We act responsibly.

When a case is reported, our process includes:

Field verification
Health condition assessment
Veterinary consultation
Legal evaluation (if cruelty laws are violated)
Rescue coordination (if required)

If the animal is found to be:

Medically unfit to work
Suffering from untreated injuries
Severely malnourished
Victim of cruelty or illegal use

Then necessary action will be taken.

And if required — They will spend the rest of their life with us.

DPF – Dashrath Putra Foundation

We at Dashrath Putra Foundation (DPF) are not just speaking, we are working.

Our NGO operates on strong pillars of:

Animal welfare
Human service
Nature protection
Sanatan values

We run rescue operations for street animals. We provide medical support. We operate helplines. We care for cows (Gau Mata), dogs, monkeys, birds, pigeons and other injured animals.

Our mission is simple:
From exploitation to protection.
From suffering to dignity.

Animals who can no longer work due to injury or abuse deserve retirement with respect — not abandonment.

A Life of Dignity After Rescue

When we say “rest life with us,” it means:

No more commercial rides
No more forced road walking
No more heavy loads
No more harassment
Proper food
Regular health checkups
Safe shelter
Dignified living

This approach ensures rehabilitation, recovery and compassionate long-term care for rescued animals.

This Is Not Against Livelihood — It Is Against Cruelty

We understand that many families depend on animals for income. Our intention is not to attack livelihoods. Our intention is to stop cruelty, negligence and overexploitation.

There is a difference between ethical care and abuse.

An animal used for livelihood must:

Be medically fit
Have limited working hours
Receive proper food and hydration
Get veterinary care
Be treated with compassion

If these standards are not met, intervention becomes necessary.

Why Your Role Is Important

We cannot be everywhere. Cruelty often continues because people think, “Someone else will report.” Or “This is normal.” Or “This is how it has always been.”

Change begins when one person refuses to ignore suffering.

One message. One report. One inspection. One rescued life.

That is how Ram Rajya values are built, through compassion, dharma and responsibility.

A Message from DPF

Animals are not machines. They are living beings with pain, fear and emotions.

A horse is not a vehicle.
A camel is not a tourist attraction.
A pony is not a toy.

If you witness exploitation in horse rides, camel rides, fairs, tourist spots, markets, religious gatherings or commercial areas — inform us.

We will check.
We will assess.
We will act lawfully and ethically.

And if cruelty is proven, they will retire with dignity under our care.

Let Compassion Be Stronger Than Profit

We believe in a system where:

No animal is overworked.
No animal dies in silence.
No animal is discarded after losing commercial value.

They deserve safety.
They deserve rest.
They deserve dignity.

If you see something wrong, report it.

Together, we can move from exploitation to protection.
Together, we can build a more compassionate society.
Together, we can ensure that those who served humans are not abandoned when they can no longer work.

Dashrath Putra Foundation stands committed.

Report. We respond. We rescue. We rehabilitate. And when needed — we give them a peaceful rest of life with us.
