🌊 Animal Law 101: Protecting Our Sea Turtles 🐢

Welcome to our new awareness series, where we break down how the law protects animals in Sri Lanka. We’ll explore the laws, threats, and practical ways we can help.

With the nesting season fast approaching, our first post is all about sea turtles, the ancient mariners of our coastlines, and the laws that give them a fighting chance in a world full of human impact.

💡 Learn the law. Watch responsibly. Protect their beaches. Speak up for their habitats.

We will get through this, together 🙏🏼

They never hesitate when we reach out for help. In these difficult days, it is our turn to be there for them. Our deepest gratitude goes to every rescuer who is out in the floodwater, carrying animals to safety, putting their own worries aside, and risking so much to save innocent lives.

So many animals have been displaced or are temporarily without safe spaces due to the floods — and we’re in urgent need of fosters who can help keep them safe until they can return home. 💛

If you have a safe space where a dog or cat can stay for 1 week to a month, you could make a life-saving difference.

🐾 If you can help, please WhatsApp:
📍 077 761 9286
📍 071 720 4215
Send us your area, which animal you can foster, and how long you’re able to keep them.

In times like these, community is everything. Thank you for opening your hearts and homes. 💛

Please note - these images are from rescues done in 2016/2017.

“This is not just a plea for compassion — it is a demand for justice.” Tharuka Jayasinghe from Advocates for Animals delivered a powerful speech today at the 15th National Animal Rights Day awareness event held at Galle Face Beach.She called attention to a long-overlooked issue in Sri Lanka, the urgent need to pass the Animal Welfare Bill. While countries around the world update their laws to recognise animals as sentient beings, ours still date back to 1907, offering little more than token penalties for even the most serious cruelty.📣 It’s time for legal reform.It’s time to turn compassion into protection.It’s time to demand justice for animals — not in the future, but now.Let us be the voice. Be the change. Be their hope.
