People For Animals Public Policy Foundation

Animal welfare belongs in every serious conversation about environmental governance and institutional accountability.

RT @gauri_maulekhi: At NALSAR’s 7th Courts and Constitution Conference this weekend, I joined Sr. Adv. Raj Panjwani, Rahul Basu, and Kanchi…

What happens in factory farms doesn’t stay there. Antibiotics in eggs. Pus cells in milk. ~70% of antibiotics used in livestock. Animal welfare = public health — and we’re failing both. tinyurl.com/5ytxuedr

From a recent session with 40 Judicial Magistrates at the Gujarat State Judicial Academy. When animal protection laws are understood and implemented effectively, justice extends to those who cannot speak for themselves.

The arc of justice must be long enough to cover the most vulnerable among us. Honored to address the judicial officers at the Gujarat State Judicial Academy on the crucial implementation of Animal Protection Laws. When the courts speak for the voiceless, the entire foundation of society is elevated. #animalprotection #animallaw

Academic institutions play a crucial role in advancing animal justice. Faculty of Law, Delhi University is driving this forward through its @animallawcell. Marking one year of collaboration with PFA PPF — a step toward giving this field the attention it deserves. #animalwelfare

Encouraging to see momentum building around cage-free egg production in India. Farmers from Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar recently came together to learn about higher-welfare poultry systems through this initiative by PFA PPF and ICAR–CARI. #CageFree #AnimalWelfare

Animal welfare is no longer a fringe charity issue - it is a critical macroeconomic and public health blind spot. The launch of @IndiaKarunaC in Mumbai alongside 70+ leaders in business, science, and policy addressed the massive, invisible crisis in our food systems. Industrial animal agriculture isn't just unethical - it is a global biohazard. With 70% of the world's antibiotics pumped into farmed animals to sustain profiteering through systematic cruelty, we are actively ignoring the next wave of Antimicrobial Resistance and deadly superbugs. We cannot build a sustainable, resilient economy on a foundation of structural cruelty. @indiaanimalfund @PFAppf

On 11 March 2026, we are bringing together a powerhouse panel to discuss the transition from individual diet choices to systemic animal sentience and supply chain ethics.

PFAPPF co-hosted a Retail Cage-Free Egg Business Meet in Bangalore with CFFRPPA & Global Food Partners, bringing retailers like Amazon, BigBasket, Nature’s Basket, Licious and Fresh2Home together with producers to discuss the future of higher-welfare egg production in India. 🐔

On record: Sr Adv Venugopal’s case for science-led, humane management. Share this so facts travel faster than headlines. More coming soon. #streetdogs #SupremeCourtOfIndia #justicefordogs

History shows that violence never builds a great nation; compassion and empathy do. Tomorrow, we advocate for the scientific implementation of sterilization and vaccination. Let’s stop the cruelty of relocation to permanent shelters and focus on proven, data-backed solutions.

A directive that though apparently interim in nature, has all the bearings of finality and permanence, while also being impractical, unlawful, unscientific and inhumane. We hope the upcoming hearings will be more lawful, humane and data-led. #streetdogs #SupremeCourtofIndia

Speak up before it’s too late. #saveourdogs #streetdogsofindia #SupremeCourtOfIndia #ruleoflaw #NarendraModi

When disasters hit, animals suffer at a large scale. India needs a single all-hazards playbook with aligned roles, common SOPs, data-led readiness, and One Health surveillance. Encouraged by @ndmaindia prioritising preparedness, mitigation, and long-term recovery.

The Guideline aims to strengthen animal evacuation, veterinary response, and protect livelihoods. #disasterpreparedness #DRR #NDMA

@ndmaindia held a multi-stakeholder consultation on 12th Dec, 2025 chaired by Ms. Rita Missal, Member @ndmaindia with participation from @Dept_of_AHD, @MoHFW_INDIA, @moefcc, @ICMRDELHI, AWBI & PFA to advance Guidelines on Animal-Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (AiDRR).

SC order on stray dogs is like Tughlaq’s march to Daulatabad—grand in tone, empty in substance Gauri Maulekhi @gauri_maulekhi, animal welfare expert, writes #ThePrintOpinion theprint.in/opinion/sc-ord…

We just hosted a cage-free systems workshop for the Licious leadership at our Tiruchi demo farm. Cage-free is the way forward to improve welfare for egg-laying hens. Thinking of switching? Comment below to set up a cage-free roadmap for your organisation. #CageFree #AnimalWelfare
