SAFI actively investigates and reports mass killings of stray dogs in Telangana by filing formal complaints (FIRs) with police against perpetrators such as village officials, prompting legal action under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. They document incidents, such as the discovery of hundreds of dog carcasses in Jagtial district, to push for investigations and humane alternatives like sterilization.
