Vantara's Animal Welfare Mission Cleared by Supreme Court-Appointed Probe

In a significant legal and moral victory, the animal welfare organization Vantara has been fully cleared of all allegations following a comprehensive investigation by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court of India. The SIT's findings, which have been endorsed by the apex court, concluded that the doubts and accusations raised against Vantara's mission were "without any basis," providing a powerful vindication of the organization's work and its commitment to caring for voiceless animals.

In a statement released following the court's order, the Vantara team expressed "utmost humility and gratitude," welcoming the report's conclusions. The organization described the validation of their work by the distinguished members of the SIT as a "blessing," as it allows their actions and results to speak for themselves. The statement emphasized that the ruling provides "further strength and encouragement" for the team to continue its mission with dedication and devotion.

Vantara reiterated that its core philosophy has always been centered on "love, compassion, and responsibility" towards animals. "Every animal we rescue, every bird we heal, every life we save is a reminder that their well-being is not separate from our own — it is an inseparable part of the well-being of all humanity," the statement read.​​​​

Looking ahead, the organization has pledged its solidarity with the Government of India, state governments, and all other stakeholders involved in the challenging task of animal care. Vantara affirmed that it will always be ready to work in close collaboration with these bodies, with the shared goal of making the planet a better and safer place for all living beings.
