Assam Police and Animal Groups Rescue 26 Dogs from Suspected Meat Trade
Assam Police and four animal welfare groups rescued 26 dogs from a truck in Karbi Anglong, suspected to be destined for the illegal dog meat trade. The dogs, found with their mouths tied and packed in jute sacks, were initially kept at a veterinary facility before being moved to a care center in Guwahati for treatment and rehabilitation. The rescue highlights ongoing concerns about the illegal trade in Assam, where thousands of dogs are reportedly taken annually for meat across state borders. Coordinated efforts aim to strengthen enforcement and find permanent homes for rescued animals.
