What does it take to make a city nearly rabies-free without harming a single stray dog? How can compassion transform centuries-old practices of animal exploitation into humane alternatives? In this powerful episode we sit down with Timmie Kumar, Managing Trustee of Help in Suffering and a pioneer in India’s animal welfare movement.
Why This Episode Matters:
Animal welfare in India is often overshadowed by human struggles, but compassion is not a zero-sum game. Timmie Kumar reveals how Jaipur became a model for humane street dog management while challenging animal cruelty in festivals, weddings, and traditions. She also stresses the need to regulate pet ownership, end animal testing, and build empathy through education so kindness becomes a way of life.
