What is PFA?
Nation-Wide
People for Animals is India's largest animal welfare organisation. We campaign all over India to end cruelty towards animals and their ruthless exploitation in commerce, sport, religion, science, tradition, entertainment and for food. We respect all life on earth and are a small part of India's growing environmental awareness. Since 1994, we have grown to now encompass over 1.5 million active members across India. Please take time to visit the National Home Page.
The Kollam Chapter
Smt Maneka Gandhi
This Kollam Chapter was formed in December 2003 by a group of similar-minded teachers. At that time there were no organizations in this field. It was registered under the Indian Trusts Act on February 5th 2004, under the chairperson-ship of Smt Maneka Gandhi, MP. For a list of patrons and trustees, please click here.
We work via education, litigation, legislation and direct action to improve conditions for animals locally. Among our most important programmes is the Animal Birth Control (ABC) initiative, wherein street animals are sterilised, vaccinated and returned to their colonies to live out their lives harmlessly and healthily. Another way we seek to reduce the stray population is by encouraging people to adopt Indian dogs from the street or shelters instead of buying foreign pedigrees. Please Contact PFA if you know of any families who want a loyal, beautiful, and intelligent companion.
Routinely awareness campaigns in schools and in colleges are conducted, along with free veterinary camps in villages. During these veterinary camps, free medicine and feed is given out. We also distribute vaccines.
Additionally, we distribute information pamphlets in different localities.
PFA Kollam currently has a Mobile Animal Clinic, and is working on building an Animal Hospital. Currently, there is only one other Veterinary Hospital in Kerala. The cost of building and of land (already purchased) is covered by donations.
The Kollam Chapter was instrumental in forming a Kindness Club, to promote kindness and awareness among people.
All who wish to help promote Animal Rights and to educate our fellow humans about our Responsibilities towards Animals is welcome to become a member.
