Maneka Ghandhi is an passionate animal rights activist. Her love for animals led her to become Minister of Welfare in 1989, where she was appointed as the Chairperson of the Committee for the purpose of control and supervision of experiments on animals. Not only that, Meneka is also one of the founders of the “People for Animals” organization. This is a non-profit organization that focuses on animal welfare and aims towards building animal shelters and hospitals around the world. People for Animals is seen in helping animals in cities of India, such as: Chandigarh, Bangalore, Dehradun, and Agra, which was where this organization was first started. Some of these animals include: dogs, cats, snakes, donkeys, cows, camels etc. For example, People for Animals has been productive in stopping the entry of camels in Mumbai, which were brutally misused for joy rides. Along with this organization, Meneka has also helped animals through her published work. Her books called Animal Laws of India and “First Aid for Animals” are just two of her many works regarding animals. Maneka's contribution towards animals from organizaion(s) in cities to books has come a long way and will continue to grow with her hard work and and dedication.
