We have come a long way in taking a stand against injustice when we can see it. But unfortunately, millions of voiceless farmed animals are still being subjected to inhuman cruelty in illegal dairies, slaughterhouses, etc. Their plight has been hidden from us, and their cries for help are muffled. These animals are stifled in dingy sheds and housed in abysmal conditions. They are injected with harmful substances to extract milk, mistreated, and finally transported to illegal slaughterhouses when they are of no use. People for Animals Uttarakhand has resolved to ease the pain of these farmed animals. The organisation is actively involved in capacity building and advocacy. With more and more ill and injured animals being brought in each day, PFA Uttarakhand is in urgent need of funds to fight on behalf of helpless farm animals and others. Your contribution can ensure the end of mistreatment for hundreds of animals.

If they are ill or injured, they are never given treatment. They are tied up in small spaces. Where there is space barely for 10, they keep 20, 30 or even 40 animals. And these animals spend their entire life in these painful conditions", says Dr Asher Jesudoss, animal welfare activist, who fights against the abuse of farmed animals.According to him, several crude, illegal and violent methods/practices are used to extract milk from cattle, which leave thousands with illnesses. “Labour pains are induced in cattle by injecting drugs; they are made to forcefully let down milk twice a day unnaturally. Their calves are pulled away and are not allowed to drink their mother’s milk. They are tied separately and later killed or left to die", he adds. With your support, PFA Uttarakhand can fight this battle and provide a better future for the animals in illegal farms.Urgent need for donations“We are trying to give these animals a good life, but we are dependent on public support. I humbly request each one to come forward, and please donate whatever you can so we can give these farmed animals and others a life away from abuse and suffering,” says Asher.Donate to this fundraiser by PFA Uttarakhand (implementation partner of India Animal Fund) on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide abused farmed animals a better future.

The most painful aspect is how they meet their end – helpless and in unbearable pain. They endure several hardships such as harsh weather, starvation and illness but abuse from people is something many dogs and other stray animals succumb to. “The people who hate animals, when they are unable to drive them away they simply attack them. The inflict grave injuries upon them, or run them over with their vehicles, or even throw hot oil or water on them. There have even been cases where people have stuffed puppies in sacks and thrown them and come”, says Darshan as he narrates the plight of stray animals.But Darshan and others have resolved to ease the suffering of strays but they can’t do it alone.

The plight of egg-laying hens in battery cages and their cries for help have gone unseen and unheard for decades, even as traditional Indian cage-free farming got increasingly ignored and fell by the wayside. “An estimated 40 crore chickens today are in battery cages. The time to free the battery-caged hens is now,” says Gauri Maulekhi of People for Animals-Uttarakhand (PFA-Uttarakhand).The India Animal Foundation (IAF) is trying to do just that by helping Gauri and other organisations working to set up cage-free farms to save millions of hens from a life of endless suffering. Help build humane, cage-free poultry farms. Donate now.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). “The life of a hen confined within a tiny battery cage is nothing short of hell. These innocent creatures are denied the most basic rights – the freedom to stretch their wings or even access fresh air or sunlight. From the moment they hatch, their lives are marred by suffering. Their beaks are cruelly mutilated, causing excruciating pain, all in the name of profit. Can we, as compassionate individuals, turn a blind eye to such cruelty? Can we allow this heart-wrenching pain to continue?” questions Gauri.What are Battery Cages In factory-style poultry farms, hens are kept in small wire cages known as battery cages in which multiple birds are packed like sardines leaving them no space to move or walk. Up to a dozen hens can be cramped into these cages, with each bird having less space than an A4 size sheet of paper.  “These intelligent and sentient beings are trapped in a perpetual state of anguish. Each day, they are subjected to unnatural living conditions, treated as mere egg-producing machines with no regard for their suffering. They endure physical and emotional torment, living in constant fear and distress. The impact of battery cages on these innocent hens is profound, but we can ease their pain”, says Gauri.Help free caged hens and put an end to inhumane battery farming. Donate nowA solution to end suffering“In complete contrast to battery farming, traditional Indian poultry farming technique has cage-free farms where hens are allowed to roam freely. The eggs produced through cage-free farming are known to be healthier and cage-free farming can even be profitable for farmers” the NGO leader informs. However, farmers need support to take up cage-free farming. They require proper training and help in setting up poultry farms that give hens a chance to spread their wings freely. With your support, Gauri’s PFA-Uttarakhand and NGOs can enable hundreds of farmers to take up cage-free farming and check abusive and stifling farming techniques. Donate to this fundraiser on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to support India Animal Fund’s mission to save lakhs of hens from suffering in tiny battery cages and set up cage-free poultry farms.

Date of visit: Saturday, October 19th, 2024 Visited by: Edin Jayanti, GIVE team Our recent visit to the Prayas headquarters shed light on a dedicated, responsible organization, committed to the welfare of animals. Darshan, the founder, started Prayas in the 90s when he saw the atrocities committed against helpless animals that went uncared for. Since then, his tireless leadership has inspired a close-knit community of volunteers who make sure the animals of Surat are looked after. Prayas uses advanced technology to streamline the rescue process, minimizing the time required to save animals. These modern tools enhance their ability to respond to cries for help and efficiently coordinate volunteers' rescue efforts. A WhatsApp link is also available to speed up the resolution of problems. They also engage in animal rights awareness campaigns and hold training programs to educate pet owners. Darshan and his team of passionate animal lovers do not discriminate. Animals of all kinds including but not limited to birds, cows, snakes, and monkeys are rescued. Prayas employs a full-time veterinarian to look after the medicines and rehabilitation of injured animals until they are fit to rejoin their natural environment. Prayas has an incalculable impact on countless animal lives. Their innovative approach to animal care, driven by technological solutions and community engagement makes them one of the most effective organizations equipped with handling problems of this magnitude. Animals matter too. Show your support and donate now.

There are over 2 lakh pet shops across India where live animals are traded and the transactions are also rampant on online portals. Despite the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Pet Shop) Rules 2018, illegal trade in dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, Indian &amp; exotic birds, turtles and other wildlife, carries on with impunity. The enforcement of laws requires following up with the regulators and creating facilities for rescued animals to be safely housed. 
 We are working in 5 States (Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi) to ensure that animals are rescued from the pathetic conditions in which they are bred and sold as pets. Actions include preparing comprehensive reports of violations, taking complaints to relevant authorities, ensuring action against pet shop owners and rescuing and rehabilitation of animals. 
 The program will ensure that dozens of dogs across the country will be pulled out of slavery and given the medical attention and love they deserve.Capacity will be built within local law enforcement to tackle similar cases and ensure that the rule of law is abided by.
