We recorded a total of 81 animal welfare cases in October 2025, comprising 67 new incidents and 14 follow-up visits. Among the new cases, the leading causes were traffic accidents (19 cases) and dog fights (16 cases), followed by electric shocks (9) and maggot infestations (4). Other notable incidents included monkey fights (4 cases), abuse by humans (3), and isolated medical conditions such as eye allergies, infections, ulcers, and vomiting.
Dogs remained the most affected species, accounting for 52 of the 67 new cases, followed by monkeys (12) and cows (3). Many dog cases involved serious trauma from road accidents or fights, while monkeys were often treated for injuries from electrocution, territorial fights, and abuse. Cow-related cases included both accidental injuries and health conditions like lumpy skin disease and old age weakness, reflecting the diversity of challenges across species.
The most frequently reported locations were Gaudhulipuram (5 cases) and Kailash Nagar (5 cases), both persistent hotspots over recent months. Other areas with multiple incidents included Mandakini (4), Gurukul Road (3), and Keli Kunj (3). Scattered cases across more than 40 other locations—from ISKCON Temple and Prem Mandir to Fogla Ashram and Rukmini Vihar Golchakkar—demonstrate the wide geographical spread of distress calls received this month.
October's data reflects a concerning trend of severe trauma from human-related causes, such as abuse, road mishaps, and electric shocks, alongside natural territorial conflicts among animals. The simultaneous presence of medical and chronic cases like infections and skin conditions points to a need for both emergency response and long-term preventive care in Vrindavan and surrounding areas.
We remain steadfast in our mission to rescue, treat, and rehabilitate every injured or suffering being that comes our way. Your continued support—through donations, volunteering, or awareness—helps us create a safer and more compassionate Braj for all its animals.

We recorded a total of 83 animal welfare cases in September 2025, comprising 79 new incidents and 4 follow-up visits. Among the new cases, the most frequent interventions were deworming (20 cases), traffic accidents (14), and dog fights (10). Other notable causes included rabies vaccinations (9 cases), maggot infestations (7), and a range of isolated but serious conditions such as electric shock, tumours, food poisoning, and lumpy skin disease.
Dogs were by far the most affected species, accounting for 73 of the 79 new cases, followed by monkeys (4) and cows (2). Many of the dog cases reflected both preventive care—like deworming and rabies vaccination—and urgent trauma, including road accidents, violent fights, and maggot wounds. The cows faced issues such as hoof injury and lumpy skin disease, while monkeys were mainly reported for injuries and neglect.
The most concentrated hotspot was Keli Kunj (25 cases), making up nearly one-third of all incidents this month. Other high-reporting areas included Mandakini (4 cases), and Banke Bihari Temple, Radharaman Temple, and Sandipani Muni School (3 each). Additional cases came from more than 25 distinct locations such as ISKCON Temple, Seva Kunj, Rukmini Vihar, and Govind Ghera, reflecting both concentrated local risks and widespread community needs.
The data highlights an important shift: while emergencies like accidents and dog fights remain high, there is a noticeable increase in preventive and medical interventions, including mass deworming and rabies vaccinations. At the same time, cases of abuse, self-injury, and chronic illnesses like tumours and skin problems signal the need for ongoing shelter and long-term veterinary support.
We continue to strengthen our work across both emergency rescue and preventive care. With your help—through volunteering, donations, or awareness—we can reach more animals, reduce suffering, and build a safer environment for all beings in Vrindavan.

We recorded a total of 55 animal welfare cases in August 2025, comprising 38 new incidents and 17 follow-up visits. Among the new cases, the most common causes were dog fights (12 cases), traffic accidents (8), and maggot infestations (6). Other concerns included skin conditions (2 cases), and isolated but serious incidents such as electric shock, fever, rash, ticks, tumour, and weakness. Additionally, 3 cases involved rabies vaccinations, reflecting preventive medical interventions.
Dogs were once again the most affected species, accounting for 33 of the 38 new cases, followed by cows (4) and monkeys (3). While most dog cases were linked to aggressive encounters or road injuries, cows and monkeys faced accidents and health concerns, underscoring the shared risks across species in urban and rural areas alike.
The most frequently reported location was Mandakini (6 cases), showing a recurring pattern of incidents requiring intervention. Other hotspots included Kalideh, Keli Kunj, Reliance Tower, and Sant Colony (2 cases each), while the remaining cases were spread across more than 20 distinct locations such as Gaura Nagar, Yugal Ghat, Prem Mandir Parking, and Cheer Ghat—indicating a wide geographic spread of animal distress.
This month’s data highlights two key issues: first, the continued prevalence of violent encounters and traffic-related injuries, and second, the emergence of medical conditions such as tumours, weakness, and skin problems that require ongoing care. Preventive steps like rabies vaccination also point to the importance of proactive community health measures in reducing future risks.
We remain committed to responding promptly to emergencies while also expanding preventive care for vulnerable animals. Your support through volunteering or donations helps us treat, protect, and give a second chance to those who cannot speak for themselves.

We recorded a total of 53 animal welfare cases in July 2025, comprising 38 new incidents and 15 follow-up visits. Among the new cases, the most frequent causes were dog fights (12 cases), monkey attacks (6), and traffic accidents (6). Other significant issues included maggot infestations (4), skin conditions (3), and isolated but serious incidents such as an acid attack, food poisoning, lack of appetite, motherhood-related stress, and boils.
Dogs were the overwhelmingly most affected species, with 31 of the 38 new cases involving them; cows accounted for 4 new cases and monkeys for 2. Many of the dog cases involved violent encounters—either with other dogs or with monkeys—as well as injuries from road incidents and secondary infections like maggots and skin problems, underscoring both acute trauma and neglected chronic conditions.
The most frequently reported locations were Kailash Nagar (3 new cases), followed by several sites with recurring activity: Char Sampraday Ashram, Kalideh, Kishorpura, Chaitanya Vihar, Omaxe, Radha Florence, and Lalitashram (2 each). Traffic-related injuries clustered at Kailash Nagar (2 accidents), with single accidents also at Chhipi Gali, Godhulipuram, Radha Florence, and Chaitanya Vihar, indicating persistent road safety risks in these zones.
This month’s data highlights recurring patterns of violent animal conflict, hazardous road conditions, and delayed treatment for preventable issues like skin infections and maggot infestations. The presence of vulnerable animals—older ones, those with appetite loss, and nursing mothers—alongside acute trauma cases like acid attack and poisoning, emphasizes the need for both proactive community awareness, conflict mitigation strategies, and timely medical outreach to catch and manage problems before they escalate.

This month's data emphasises the urgent need for improved road safety, better medical access for stray animals, and increased public awareness around responsible animal care. Cases involving older animals and chronic health conditions also highlight the importance of providing long-term support and shelter.

We recorded a total of 42 cases related to animal welfare in May 2025, comprising 35 new incidents and 7 follow-up visits. Among the new cases, the primary causes included heat stroke (7 cases), traffic accidents (6), electric shocks (3), and maggots (3).
