Report cruelty.

If it is happening right now

1. Danger to the animal or to youCall the police on 112. Cruelty to animals is a cognizable offence under BNS Section 325 read with Section 11 of the PCA Act, and the officer is obliged to register it.
2. The animal is injuredGet it to a vet/call up a shelter nearest to you or a PFA unit first, then come back and file this.
3. You can do it safelyTake photographs or a short video, note the place and the time, and the name or vehicle number of anyone involved. That is what turns a complaint into a case.

Everything you send is private to PFA. Photographs are stored beside the report and shown only to the person handling it.
