Protest Against The Supreme Court In Kolkata,India

School students wear dog and cow masks to lead a PETA India protest against the Supreme Court's animal roundup order on the National Day of Action in front of the historic Victoria Memorial monument in Kolkata, India, on December 2, 2025. The Supreme Court on November 7, 2025, directs all States and Union Territories to ''forthwith'' remove stray dogs from the premises of educational institutions, hospitals, sports complexes, bus stands and depots, and railway stations, and relocate them ''to a designated shelter'' after due sterilization and vaccination in accordance with the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023, framed under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
