Animal welfare workers in Hyderabad intervened during a Ganesh Visarjan procession to rescue a python and a chicken. The animals were allegedly being used as props by a dance group during the festivities.
Members of the Greater Hyderabad Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GHSPCA) successfully rescued a python and a chicken during a Ganesh Visarjan procession in Hyderabad. The intervention followed a five-day operation by the organization, which had been tracking a dance troupe visiting from Visakhapatnam.
According to the GHSPCA, they had received reports that the group was incorporating live animals into their street performances. The rescue took place amidst the large crowds typical of the Ganesh Visarjan celebrations. While the report confirms the animals were recovered, it does not detail the current legal status of the performers or whether formal charges have been filed against the dance group for the alleged use of the wildlife.
