| Submission declined on 10 April 2025 by Spinster300 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Spinster300 60 days ago. | |

Angels Nair is an animal welfare activist in Kerala.
Activism
[edit]Though Nair started his career as a painter in Mumbai, later started filing legal cases to challenge acts of animal cruelty and pushing for stricter enforcement of animal protection laws.[1]
Legal Cases
[edit]- Captive Elephants in Kerala: Nair has drawn attention to the declining population of captive elephants in Kerala, citing a reduction from 702 elephants in December 2010. He has raised concerns about illegal captivity and the inhumane treatment of elephants.[2][3]
- Illegal Capture and Training of Wild Elephants: Nair filed a plea in the Kerala High Court challenging the capture of two wild elephants in Palakkad and Wayanad, alleging violations of wildlife protection laws.
- Elephant Training Practices: He has argued that elephant training practices, particularly those involving wild-caught elephants, contravene Indian animal welfare laws. Nair has filed several cases against the Kerala Forest Department, contesting government orders permitting such practices.
Controversies
[edit]Nair's outspoken approach has attracted criticism.
- Case Against Vava Suresh: Nair filed a legal case against Vava Suresh,[4] a snake catcher, alleging that Suresh's handling of snakes caused[5]harm and internal injuries to the animals, potentially affecting their survival post-release. This case sparked significant social media backlash from Suresh's supporters.
- Comments on Wild Boar Culling: In response to farmers seeking permission to cull wild boars damaging crops,[6]Nair remarked, "If you kill the pig, the leopard will eat you," emphasizing the ecological role of wild species. His comment drew criticism from agricultural groups but received support from environmentalists for its interpretation of the food chain.
- Statement on Government Wildlife Policies: Nair's remark,[7]"the target should be not the wild boar but the wild minister," in response to Kerala's Forest Minister's proposal to cull wild boars, generated controversy and led to legal warnings.
