Mongoose is viewed as a pest the animal’s pest-destroying abilities have long been recognized by Indian society. Archeological evidence from Harappan sites shows that the mongoose frequented human habitation perhaps in a semi-domesticated condition.
The species is protected in India, but an illegal trade in hair for the purposes of making of paint brushes and shaving brushes continues, and this is one of its most significant threats.

The illegal trade, raking in millions of dollars every month is expected to be behind the killing of 100,000 mongooses in India every year. Protection of these semi-domesticated friends should be in focus.
