Mumbai. This month marks People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India’s 20th anniversary – and in just two decades, the organisation has used eyewitness investigations, colourful campaigns, youth outreach, volunteer celebrity support, and other means to achieve numerous landmark victories for animals.
Long-time PETA India pal John Abraham, who has worked with the group on issues ranging from supporting a ban on animal circuses to speaking out against the caging of birds and more, says, “Congratulations, PETA India, on 20 years of drastically improving life for countless animals and making the world a kinder place for everyone. Working with PETA India since your beginning has been an extremely important part of my life as a passionate animal rights defender.”
Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra, who starred in a print campaign in favour of dog sterilisation for PETA India, says, “I love animals, and it has been a great pleasure for me to be associated with PETA India. They have been doing tremendous work for the welfare of the animals in India, and it is extremely important for us to look after these innocent beings. Wish you guys a happy 20th anniversary!”
