🙏 **AN APPEAL TO ALL MY LAWYER FRIENDS & LEGAL PROFESSIONALS 🙏**

The recent action following the **Calcutta High Court’s directions regarding unauthorised animal and bird trading at Galiff Street** is an important step towards protecting animals from illegal and unregulated trade.

But this cannot stop at Galiff Street.

There is another heartbreaking reality that needs our urgent attention — **the sale of UNDER-AGED PETS who are taken away from their mothers far too early.**

🐰 Rabbits
🐶 Puppies
🐱 Kittens
🐹 Hamsters
🐹 Guinea pigs
🐀 Rats
🦜 Birds
…and other companion animals.

These babies are often displayed and sold when they are still dependent on their mothers and have not reached an appropriate age for separation. Such practices can have serious consequences for their welfare and survival.

**To my lawyer friends working in and around the Calcutta High Court — I sincerely appeal to you: PLEASE STAND UP FOR THEM.**

If you come across such illegal or potentially unlawful sales in **Galiff Street, Serampore, or other weekly pet markets**, please help by:

📌 Collecting **lawfully obtained video/photo evidence**
📌 Recording the location, date and circumstances
📌 Identifying the relevant seller/establishment where possible
📌 Preserving evidence without putting yourself or the animals at risk
📌 Bringing the matter before the appropriate authorities or court through proper legal channels
📌 Seeking enforcement of the applicable animal-welfare, licensing and wildlife laws

The recent High Court proceedings demonstrate that **documented evidence can bring unlawful animal trading to the attention of the legal system.**

We don't need to wait until another baby dies.

We don't need to wait until an entire market becomes a headline.

**Every tiny life deserves protection.**

If the Court can take cognisance of unlawful animal trading, **why can't we use the law to speak for those who have no voice?**

🙏 **Please collect evidence. Please report. Please act within the law. Please stand beside them.**

And above all —

# # # ❤️ PLEASE ADOPT. DON'T SHOP. ❤️

A pet shop may see a baby as merchandise.

**We should see a life.**

18/09/2026

🙏 **AN APPEAL TO ALL MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS WORKING IN THE CALCUTTA HIGH COURT** 🙏

**Please, I need you to stand up for the voiceless.**

I am making this appeal especially to my friends, acquaintances, and well-wishers who work in and around the **Calcutta High Court**.

Across different weekly pet markets in West Bengal — particularly **Galiff Street and markets around Serampore** — under-aged puppies, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and other animals are allegedly being separated from their mothers and sold when they are far too young to survive independently.

They cannot speak.
They cannot complain.
They cannot ask for a lawyer.
**All they have is us.**

If you visit these markets and witness such illegal or cruel practices, **please document them responsibly through photographs or videos, preserve the date, location and other relevant details, and help place credible evidence before the appropriate authorities or the Court through proper legal channels.**

I sincerely request my lawyer friends to look into these violations and, wherever legally appropriate, help bring documented cases before the Court and seek **effective enforcement and appropriate action against those responsible.**

Because this is not merely about buying and selling an animal.

It is about a baby being taken away from its mother **before it is ready.**

It is about profit being placed above life.

And I know this pain personally.

**Puchki was one such tiny baby.**
She was separated from her mother and brought for sale when she was far too small.

I tried everything I could.

I fought for her.
I cared for her.
I prayed for her.

But she was simply **too tiny and too vulnerable**.

**Puchki didn't make it.** 💔

I still carry that loss with me.

And I don't want another Puchki to die because someone wanted to make money by selling a baby before it was old enough to leave its mother.

# # # PLEASE — DON'T LET PUCHKI'S DEATH BE IN VAIN.

To everyone who works in the legal system:

**Please stand by these animals.**
**Please be their voice.**
**Please help ensure that existing laws and court directions protecting animals are actually enforced.**

And to everyone else:

If you witness an under-aged animal being sold, **don't buy it and thereby encourage the trade.** Instead, document the situation safely and report it through the appropriate legal and animal-welfare authorities.

We cannot save every animal.

But perhaps together, **we can prevent the next Puchki from ever being separated from her mother.** 🐾

**They don't need our pity.
They need our protection.
They need our courage.
They need our voice.**

🙏 **PLEASE STAND WITH THEM.
PLEASE BE THEIR VOICE.
PLEASE DON'T LET ANOTHER BABY DIE FOR PROFIT.** 🙏

**Baby Bun Puchki couldn’t make it through.**

Early this morning, she took her last breath.

And I am sitting here with that unbearable feeling that no matter how hard we fight, sometimes love cannot save them.

I tried.I tried so hard.
For five days, I fought for this tiny little life.

Five days of feeding.
Five days of medicines.
Five days of watching her breathe.
Five days of hoping that the next morning would bring a miracle.

Every tiny movement gave me hope.
Every difficult breath scared me.
And every time she looked a little better, I allowed myself to believe…
**“Maybe she will make it.”**
But she didn't.

And this is the part of rescue that nobody talks about enough.

People see the rescue pictures.
They see the before and after.
They celebrate when a broken little animal survives.

But they don't always see the other side.
The side where a rescuer sits quietly after everyone else has gone to sleep…
holding a tiny body that couldn't be saved.
The side where you question yourself.
**“Did I do enough?”**
**“Could I have done something differently?”**
**“Why couldn't I save her?”**

Even when you know you gave everything you had.
This is the fate of a shelter owner.

You love them knowing you may eventually have to lose them.
You give them names knowing one day you may have to say their name for the last time.
You open your heart to one abandoned little soul after another…
and eventually, you have to watch them leave.
**One by one.**
And every single goodbye hurts.

But Tiny taught me something in these five short days.

Maybe our purpose isn't always to give them a long life.
Sometimes…
**our purpose is simply to make the little time they have left less lonely.**

Tiny didn't get months.
She didn't get years.
She didn't get to grow up and binky around the shelter.
She didn't get to know what a forever home felt like.
But she got five days where someone fought for her.

Five days where she wasn't unwanted.
Five days where nobody ignored her suffering.
Five days where she was warm.
Five days where she was cared for.
Five days where **she knew what love was.** ❤️
And perhaps that is the only victory I can hold onto tonight.

Because life teaches us again and again…
**Nobody is here forever.**
Not us.
Not them.
Not anyone.

So perhaps love isn't about holding on forever.
Perhaps real love is also knowing when to let go…
and being grateful that, even for a little while,
**our paths crossed.**

Puchki, I wish I could have given you more.
I wish five days could have become five years.
I wish I could have watched you grow.
I wish I could have seen the happy, healthy rabbit you deserved to become.
But I couldn't change your fate.
I could only make sure you didn't face it alone.

So go peacefully now, my little one. 🌈🐰
No more pain.
No more medicines.
No more fighting.
No more struggling to breathe.
Just freedom.
**You were tiny.
Your life was short.
But your life mattered.**

And for five days…
**you were deeply, desperately, completely loved.** 🤍

Run free, Baby Tiny.
One day, perhaps, all these broken little hearts will meet again somewhere beautiful.

Until then…
**thank you for letting me love you.** 🕊️💔

🐰** — FROM LYING HELPLESS… TO TAKING HER FIRST LITTLE STEPS AGAIN.** 💝

Look at this tiny baby.

We found her — weak, exhausted and barely able to hold herself up. Her little body was completely drained, and she seemed to have almost given up.

For a moment, all I could think was…

**“Will this little life make it?”** 💔

But then came the most beautiful thing — **she started fighting.** 🥺🐰

In the video, you can see the difference.

From being almost completely helpless…
to sitting up.
To lifting her little head.
To moving around.
To taking those tiny, unsteady steps. ❤️

They may look like small movements to us.

**But for a rescue baby, every single step is a victory.**

Every time she moves, she is telling us:

**“I’m not ready to give up yet.”** 🥹💝

And that is why rescue work is so heartbreaking… and so beautiful.

We don't always know whether a baby will survive.
We don't always have a guarantee that our efforts will be enough.

But when a tiny soul chooses to fight, **we have to fight even harder for them.** ❤️

She still has a long road ahead. She needs continued warmth, proper nutrition, medication/supportive care and constant monitoring.

But today, I don't want to talk about how sick she was.

**Today, I want to celebrate her little steps.** 🐾🐰

Because sometimes, hope doesn't arrive with a miracle.

Sometimes…

**Hope arrives as a tiny bunny standing up for the first time.** 💗

Please keep this little baby in your prayers. 🙏🏻🐰

And please remember — behind every rescue picture is a life that needs food, hay, medicines, veterinary care, warmth and someone who refuses to give up on them.

**This is why BUN HAVEN exists.**
**This is why we rescue.**
**This is why we keep going.** 💝

🐰💔 **YESTERDAY, SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD.
TODAY, SHE RAN ON MY BED.**

I still can't believe what I'm looking at. 😭

Yesterday, someone went to a nearby weekly pet market to buy **bird food**.
She wasn't there to rescue a rabbit.
But then she saw **this tiny baby bunny**.

And she was almost gone.
So tiny. So weak. So fragile.
**She looked like she was barely holding on to life.** 💔

She called me and told me what she had seen.
And then I said something I haven't said in years.
Something I normally **don't support.**
I told her:
**“BUY THIS BABY. NOW.”**
Not tomorrow.
Not after making complaints.
Not after trying to convince the seller.
**NOW.**
Because when a baby is that close to death, sometimes even a few minutes matter.

The long process of complaining, arguing or trying to make the seller understand could have cost this little girl **her life.**

So she bought her.
And brought her straight to **BUN HAVEN.** 🤍
And then our fight began.

For almost **20 hours**, we gave her everything we could.
Warmth. Medication. Tiny feeds. Constant care. Constant watching. And prayers.
So many prayers. 🙏🏻

And then…
Something happened that made my heart stop.

I looked at my bed.
And **SHE WAS RUNNING.** 😭🐰🤍

The baby who had looked like she might not survive yesterday…
**was running across my bed today.**

I can't explain what that moment felt like.
When you rescue animals, you learn not to celebrate too soon.

Because you've seen them fight.
You've seen them lose.
You've held tiny bodies that didn't make it.
So when a fragile little heartbeat suddenly chooses to keep fighting…
**you hold your breath and pray even harder.**

She is still incredibly tiny.
Still extremely fragile.
And we don't know yet what the coming days will bring.
But right now…
**SHE IS HERE.**
She is alive.
She is fighting.
And she has a chance. 🤍

So please, before you scroll away…
**SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR HER.** 🙏🏻

Pray that this tiny girl survives.
Pray that she grows stronger.
Pray that she gets to grow up.
Pray that one day she will run without fear, sleep without hunger and live without ever knowing the cruelty that brought her so close to death.

Because **she deserves a life.**
She deserves to grow.
She deserves to be loved.
She deserves to be safe.
And yesterday, one person decided that **her tiny life was worth saving.** ❤️

Maybe they'll stop.
Maybe they'll care.
Maybe they'll help.
And maybe this tiny baby will someday grow up and know what we are fighting for today:
**“You are wanted.”**
**“You are loved.”**
**“You are safe.”**

from my family,
and from every rescued soul at **BUN HAVEN**…

🐰💝 ** — THEY HAVE SPENT YEARS WAITING FOR HOME**

Among the **72 rescued buns at BUN HAVEN**, **48 are now very old**.
**2 are specially abled**, and **4 have already been adopted by me** as family. ❤️

The rest are still waiting…

Waiting for someone to look at their little faces and say,
**“You don't have to wait anymore. You're coming home with me.”** 🥺🐰

They have known abandonment.
They have known fear.
Some have known cages, neglect and cruelty.

But they still know how to trust.
They still run towards love.
They still believe that maybe, someday, **someone will choose them.**

Please don't disappoint them. 🤍

**You could be that one person who changes a rabbit's entire life.**
You don't have to save all 72.
You only have to save **one.**

I am sharing some of their pictures because behind every picture is a little life waiting for a chance to be loved.

And then there are our **aged buns**… 🐰🤍

Many of them are now **8-9+ years old**. Their exact ages are unknown because they were rescued as adults, but they have been with me for the last **6–7 years**.

For them, **BUN HAVEN is not a temporary shelter anymore. It is home.**

They have their friends here.
They know every corner.
They know the sounds, the smells and the people who care for them.

At this stage of their lives, I don't want to rehome them.

**Let them stay together. Let them grow old together. Let them spend the rest of their lives in the only home they truly know.** 🥹❤️

But keeping so many aged rabbits safe, comfortable and cared for is not easy.

They need food, hay, medicines, veterinary care, electricity, shelter expenses and constant attention.

So today, I am asking you to **please stand with us.**

Share this post.

Because sometimes, the person who saves a life isn't the person who donates.

**Sometimes, it's the person who shares a story until it reaches the one person who can.** 🐰

One share could reach an adopter.
One share could find a foster home.
One share could bring help for our old and specially abled buns.

And one share could mean that a little rabbit who has waited for years finally gets to hear:

**“You are wanted. You are loved. You are safe.”** ❤️

From my family,
from every rescued soul at **BUN HAVEN**,
and from the very bottom of my heart…

**Thank you for helping us keep hope alive.** 🐰🤍

🐰💝

I know I’ve been absent for almost two weeks.

I’ve been quietly trying to put my life back together—taking care of myself, managing daily chores, caring for almost **80 little lives at BUN HAVEN**, and helping bun parents through WhatsApp calls and messages whenever they need guidance.

Life has been overwhelming.

But today, I want to share something beautiful…

**All our buns are okay.** 🤍

And in these two weeks, **3 beautiful adoptions happened.** 🥹🐰

Every adoption reminds me why we keep going.

Because somewhere out there, there is a family waiting for a little rabbit who is still waiting for theirs.

# # # 🐰 PLEASE DON'T LET THEM GROW OLD HERE.

I’ve been rescuing rabbits for almost **8 years**.

Many of the rabbits rescued during my early years are now old. They make up almost **80% of BUN HAVEN**.

They came here because they needed safety.

For many, this shelter has now become their **forever home**.

Around **5% are special-needs buns**—some with dental problems, blindness and other lifelong needs.

But there are still around **12–13 healthy, adoptable rabbits** waiting for families. ❤️

And my biggest wish is simple:

**Please don’t let them grow old waiting.**

They deserve more than a shelter.

They deserve a favourite corner.
A soft blanket.
A name whispered with love.
Someone waiting for them at the end of the day.
A family to call their own.

They deserve to spend their lives **not as rescued rabbits, but as someone’s beloved family.** 🤍

I’ll be sharing their individual stories and pictures as soon as I can.

Until then, please remember them.

And please remember **BUN HAVEN** too.

Because behind every rescue update is a person trying to keep everything together.

And right now…

**I need my bunny family more than ever.** 🤍

If you can help, please help me keep the doors of BUN HAVEN open.

**I’ve been quiet for a while… but please know, I haven’t forgotten you.**

The last three months have changed my life in ways I never imagined. My family has been through one painful situation after another, and I’ve been trying to hold everything together while continuing to care for my **Bun Haven family**.

The bunnies are okay. ❤️
They are being fed, cared for, given medicines when needed, cleaned, loved, and protected.

And yesterday, **two beautiful adoptions were completed.** 🐰🏡❤️

But even adoption is not simply handing over a bunny.

I have to travel for house checks, speak to the families, make sure the environment is safe, and personally ensure that each bunny is going to a **loving, responsible and forever home.**

Yesterday, I travelled almost **100 km up and down by cab** for the adoptions.

I came home completely exhausted and extremely unwell.

My body is telling me that I need to stop.
But my heart keeps saying…
**“The bunnies still need you.”**

And that is the hardest battle right now.

I am trying to gather myself.
I am trying to heal.
I am trying to find my way back into some kind of normal life.

So if I haven’t replied to everyone…
If I haven’t posted updates…
If I’ve disappeared for days…

**Please don’t think I don’t care.**

I am simply trying to survive everything that has happened while making sure almost 80 little lives continue to be safe.

You are not just sponsors to me.
**You are part of our Bun Haven family.** 🤍

And this is the moment when we need our family the most.

Please keep us in your thoughts if I am unable to update regularly.

And if you can help, **please help me keep the doors of Bun Haven open.**

Because right now, I need my bunny family more than ever.
