We discovered that the Wildlife Protection Act remained only on paper and right in the middle of the city, there was open sale of parrots, turtles, tortoises as pets in shops in Pune. We undertook several raids in Pune and affected several arrests and rescued around 300 birds and animals. When the police and forest department cited inability to take care of the rescued birds, we personally took charge of several rescued baby birds and tended to them at our office till they could be released back. We released all the birds and animals after seeking appropriate orders from the courts with help of wildlife experts.
