“We believe a compassionate India is a strong India. Our Animal Rights Manifesto promises free healthcare for every stray, strict cruelty laws, more shelters, daily feeding missions and adoption awareness campaigns across every city. Because every life matters and we mean it,” the group wrote in an Instagram post. It shared a poster of the 6-point manifesto.
