पशु सेवा तथा पशु कल्याण विधेयक २०८३ को मस्यौ‍दामा राय माग गरिएको सम्बन्धमा नेपाल एनिमल वेलफेयर एण्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर (NAWRC) को धारणा
मिति: २०८३ श्रावण १८
नेपालमा पशु कल्याणसम्बन्धी कानुनी तथा नीतिगत व्यवस्थालाई समयानुकूल, वैज्ञानिक तथा व्यावहारिक बनाउने उद्देश्यले नेपाल सरकारले प्रस्ताव गरेको पशुसेवा तथा पशु कल्याण सम्बन्धी कानुनी व्यवस्था प्रति नेपाल एनिमल वेलफेयर एण्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर (NAWRC) गम्भीर चासो व्यक्त गर्दछ ।
पशु कल्याण केवल पशुहरूको संरक्षणसँग मात्र सम्बन्धित विषय होइन । यो सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य, वातावरणीय सन्तुलन, जैविक विविधताको संरक्षण, सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्व तथा मानवीय संवेदनासँग प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा जोडिएको विषय भएकाले कुनै पनि कानूनले पशुलाई केवल आर्थिक उत्पादनका साधनका रूपमा मात्र नभई संवेदनशील जीवका रूपमा स्वीकार गर्नुपर्दछ।
नेपाल एनिमल वेलफेयर एण्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर (NAWRC) पशु कल्याण सम्बन्धी कानूनमा पशुहरूमाथि हुने क्रूर व्यवहारको स्पष्ट परिभाषा, सामुदायिक कुकुर तथा बिरालोहरूको वैज्ञानिक व्यवस्थापन, बन्ध्याकरण तथा खोप कार्यक्रम, आश्रय स्थल सञ्चालन तथा स्वामित्व सम्बन्धी स्पष्ट मापदण्ड, पशु ढुवानी सम्बन्धी व्यवस्था तथा प्रभावकारी दण्ड र सजायका प्रावधानहरू समावेश गरिनु आवश्यक छ ।
नेपालमा पशु कल्याणको क्षेत्रमा कार्यरत संस्थाहरू, पशु चिकित्सकहरू, अनुसन्धान कर्ताहरू, स्थानीय सरकारहरू तथा सरोकारवाला निकायहरूको अनुभव र सुझावलाई सम्मान पूर्वक समावेश गर्दै आधुनिक, प्रभावकारी तथा मानवीय कानुनी संरचना निर्माण गरिनुपर्ने आवश्यकता हामीले महसुस गरेका छौँ ।
नेपाल एनिमल वेलफेयर एण्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर (NAWRC) विगतका वर्षहरूदेखि उद्धार, उपचार, बन्ध्याकरण, रेबिज नियन्त्रण, अनुसन्धान, जनचेतना अभिवृद्धि तथा मानवीय व्यवहारको प्रवर्द्धनका क्षेत्रमा निरन्तर रूपमा कार्यरत रहेको छ । आगामी दिनहरूमा पनि पशु कल्याण तथा सहअस्तित्वको भावनालाई सुदृढ बनाउन हामी प्रतिबद्ध रहनेछौँ ।

Position Statement of Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC)
Regarding the Request for Feedback on the Draft of the Animal Services and Animal Welfare Bill 2083 (2026)

Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC) expresses its serious concern/interest regarding the legal provisions proposed by the Government of Nepal on animal services and animal welfare, aimed at making the legal and policy framework concerning animal welfare in Nepal timely, scientific, and practical.

Animal welfare is not a subject merely related to the protection of animals. Because it is directly linked to public health, environmental balance, biodiversity conservation, social responsibility, and human empathy, any legislation must recognize animals not merely as means of economic production, but as sentient beings.

Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC) emphasizes the necessity of incorporating into animal welfare legislation:
* A clear definition of cruelty against animals
*Scientific management of community dogs and cats
*Humane sterilization and vaccination programs
*Clear standards regarding the operation and ownership of animal shelters
*Effective Regulations regarding animal transport &
*Effective provisions for penalties and punishment
We strongly feel the need to build a modern, effective, and humane legal framework by respectfully including the experiences and suggestions of organizations working in the field of animal welfare in Nepal, veterinarians, researchers, local governments, and stakeholder bodies.

For past years, Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC) has been continuously working in the fields of rescue, treatment, sterilization, rabies control, research, awareness raising, and the promotion of humane behavior. We remain committed to strengthening the spirit of animal welfare and peaceful coexistence in the days ahead.
"Protection of animals is the protection of humanity."

Some animals are abandoned when they need love the most.

This poor pet dog was left on the roadside after becoming seriously ill. We found him lying half-buried in mud and dirty water. We rescued him, gave him a bath, and did everything we could to treat and comfort him. Despite our best efforts, he passed away after two days.

No animal deserves to be abandoned in any situation. They deserve compassion, care, and dignity until the end.

Rest in peace, dear friend. 😢

🚑 HELP US BRING OUR RESCUE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD 🐾

For years, the only makeshift rescue vehicle Double Cab Bolero(We does not have a dedicated rescue ambulance) of Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Centre (NAWRC) has been an essential part of our daily animal welfare work. It has transported injured and sick animals, rescued dogs, animals requiring emergency treatment, dogs for sterilisation and vaccination programmes, and many other animals in urgent need of care.

From responding to road-traffic accident victims and rescuing severely injured or diseased animals to supporting our regular rescue, treatment, rehabilitation, sterilisation, and rabies-control activities, this vehicle has travelled countless kilometres to give vulnerable animals a second chance at life.

However, due to years of continuous use and the accumulation of dog urine, moisture, dirt, and other waste during rescue and transportation activities, the vehicle’s rear carrier bed has severely deteriorated and decayed. The iron trust structure and reinforcement underneath have also been affected.

The vehicle is now under repair, and the complete restoration of the carrier bed—including the necessary steel reinforcement—will require a significant amount of funding. Without timely and quality repairs, our day-to-day rescue and emergency response work may be seriously affected.

🙏 We sincerely appeal to all animal lovers, supporters, well-wishers, and concerned individuals to contribute whatever they can. No contribution is too small. Every amount will help us restore this vital rescue vehicle and bring it back into service as soon as possible.

Your support will not only help repair a vehicle—it will help us continue reaching injured, abandoned, sick, and vulnerable animals when they need us the most. 🐕🐈🐾
