26 pawsome friends rescued and given a chance at a happier tomorrow.

A new chapter of care, kindness and hope awaits them. Assam stands firmly against the illegal trade and exploitation of innocent animals. No life should ever be treated as a commodity.

Kudos to @assampolice for bringing them to safety.
