I hope others follow suit, especially when we have the crisis of homeless dogs in our country.And thank you, PETA India, for voicing your opinion and making your voice heard when you see an animal suffering.I always stand up for animals.That is my lifes mission.
" Madhuri recalled joining the organisation a few years ago to help elephants."From there on it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Two years ago, my family adopted Carmelo, a cherished dog, from PETA India.Since then, I urge everyone I see to adopt a dog or a cat from the shelter or from the street," she said.
Sunny, an active supporter of the organisation, said: "(D)onate everything you can.Even if its a little bit, it will make a huge difference." Animal rescuer Aditi Parameshwaran, who has saved the lives of over 100 animals around Mumbai, was feted with an Outstanding Service to Animals Award.
