Animal welfare is the well-being of animals.

The greatness of a nation is judged by the way its animals are treated. - Mahatma Gandhi.

As per the Indian tradition and culture, animals always have a respect and a special place in society. Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism preach kindness and compassion to animals. The foundation of Buddhism and Jainism is 'Ahimsa' or 'non-violence', not only towards fellow humans and animals, but also to every living creature including an insect. With such rich culture and heritage, where kindness and compassion are the foundation of society each home is an animal welfare institution by itself.

But with population explosion, urbanization and consumerism catching up, animals are easy prey for human greed. They are soft targets for any one trying to make a quick buck, and prime candidates for exploitation. Today even healthy, young animals are killed for leather, meat and tallow. Calves are kept hungry and emaciated, while the cow's milk is sold in the markets for human consumption. Chicken are kept in cramped batteries, either for the eggs or for slaughter. Monkeys and Bears are made to dance on the streets, with hordes of people watching them, is another eye sore in India. The fear of the baton falling on their backs is clearly visible in their eyes. Same is the case with thousands of animals performing in the circuses.

In Metropolitan cities like Mumbai, bullock and pony carts are seen plying alongside cars and motorbikes; cows (and buffaloes), let loose by dairy owners after extracting the milk are seen loitering or sitting right in the middle of busy roads and eating from the garbage dumps, which consist of plastic, paper and sometimes even pins, hooks, or battery cells. Similarly donkeys, used for carrying loads are let loose to eat from the garbage dumps. Dogs and cats live on the roads - many homeless and some looked after.

We are working for animal welfare by providing food and care-taking services.
