About People for Animals

People For Animals (PFA) is India's only national animal welfare organization. It was started in 1994 at a time when there was no organized animal welfare movement in India. The country lacked any kind of animal services, animal welfare training, animal lawyers or legal precedents. There were just a few scattered people struggling against enormous odds and with very limited success to save the odd animal here and there. There was need for a nationwide organization to act as a strong network to fight against cruelty and to protect animals around the country. Thus, People for Animals was conceived and created.

People for Animals is involved in efforts to eliminate rabies, animal rescue work, lobbying for animal rights and legal work related to animal welfare. Their efforts have resulted in many things that are taken for granted, such as the green/red dot on packaged material indicating vegetarian/non-vegetarian food, the removal of animals from circuses, and the removal of whips from horse racing.

PFA runs shelters, ambulance services, dog sterilization programmes, treatment camps and disaster rescue missions for animals. They have a network of 165 units, 36 hospitals and 60 mobile units nationwide. They work to raise awareness and facilitate action to bring about environment and animal friendly legislation and take direct action to protect animals and to punish the offenders. They also conduct the Animal Birth Control Programme across cities to control the population of stray animals and anti-rabies campaign across India to keep cities safe from rabid dogs. They provide a 24 hour wildlife rescue service. The organization conducts awareness programmes to sensitize people about animal welfare.
