People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India protects animals across the country by investigating and challenging cruelty wherever it occurs, focusing on areas in which the greatest numbers of animals suffer: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and for entertainment.

Appeal

Funds raised will support PETA India's Emergency Response Team (ERT) programme. PETA India's trained emergency rescue staff respond to calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In a year, they responds to more than 90,000 calls. The team consists of two veterinarians, six veterinary assistants and seven emergency response coordinators. They operate in Delhi and Mumbai, often reaching animals no other agency will help, and assist animals throughout India through their network. Calls in the last year involved dogs, cats, cows and bullocks, camels, horses, donkeys, monkeys, and other animals. More than 2,600 calls involved abuse that required cruelty investigations and responses.

Beneficiary DescriptionAnimals and birds. Number of animals can't be measured.
ImpactThe impact of PETA India’s Emergency Response Team is evident in our recent rescue work. Following our complaint regarding the illegal bird trade at Kabutar Market, authorities found more than 1000 birds confined in grim conditions. Masses of birds lay piled on top of one another – some had perished in overcrowded, filthy cages or cloth bags. The surviving birds were rescued, given health checks and treatment and rehabilitated before being released back into their natural habitats.

In response to the devastating landslides in Wayanad, Kerala, PETA India swiftly mobilised a team to rescue animals in distress. A veterinarian and para-veterinarians trekked through the disaster zone equipped with food, medicine, and rescue equipment to save dogs, cats, chickens, and other animals affected by the landslides.
