People for Animals, Assam.

Purpose behind :
Since animals cannot speak for themselves or fight back,they have only one ally-People who are sensitive to their plight. Lakh's of innocent animals are battered and brutalized in a country founded on the principles of Ahimsa. Hunters, poachers, movie makers, pet shops, circus owners, cosmetic companies, fast food multinationals, dealers of ivory and leader goods and exporters of live animals and meat- have people to back them, but animals do not have.

Millions are killed in legal and illegal abattoirs or hunted down as easy game. Superstitions and religious rituals take an equally large number of lives. Many more are condemned to a life of back breaking slavery and then in their old age, sent off to slaughter houses or thrown out on the streets. These innocent helpless animals cannot protest when they are maimed, tortured, killed, used for experiments, hanged upside down, murdered for aphrodisiacs and fake remedies, forced out of their natural habitats and sacrificed to appease the gods.

They are voiceless but not lifeless. They need some one to make their sufferings heard, some one to speak loud and clear. So raise your voice for them, make sure you are heard..

Principles:
People For Animals,Assam is affiliated to the People For Animals with its headquarter at New Delhi. PFA was formed as a charitable trust in 1992 to promote and encourage greater awareness for animal rights amongst people in general and to encourage, support and / or educate people to perform
Jivadaya and / or Anukampa i.e. to observe, assist and encourage acts of compassion, mercy to animals and birds amongst other aims with renowned animal rights activist Smt. Maneka Gandhi as its leading light. It spearheads a popular movement for respecting all life on this earth based upon the theory of "Live and let live". Today, the movement has spread to all over India with chapters in
every major city and more coming up with thousand of members working for.

We believe:
PFA believes that things can change. But they can only change when people from all communities, all faiths come together on a popular platform to try and overhaul attitudes, laws, lifestyles. People worldwide are doing this. From Michael Jackson to Beatles to Madonna to Prince Charles and Kim Bassiger to Paul McCartney and Cindy Crawford. If you think Mahatma Gandhi is an old hat, look at today's vegetarians in India. Amitabh Bacchan and Maneka Gandhi, Mallika Sarabhai and Prafulla Mahanta, Ravi Shankar and Pooja Bhatt, Ramesh Krishnan and Vishwanathan Anand, Sridevi and P V Narshimha Rao, Darbari Seth and Ruby Bhatia, Sangeeta Goswami and Nagen Goswami. They are not ashamed to be vegetarians.

You can be one of them:
You can change the way animals are treated by making your protest heard. You can stop eating meat, to start with. If you know how unhealthy the meat you eat sold in India is,it would by easy an decision to take. You can opt out of the cruel system and seek more handsome options as people have started all over the world.
