Highlights Of #FreedomForAll Telethon: An Initiative To Help Reduce Animal Exploitation And Suffering In India

We cage animals, we test on animals, we hunt animals, we kill animals. The scale and intensity of animal suffering is far greater than any other form of suffering and yet it is a suffering that goes unnoticed by most of us. Despite this animal harm and exploitation on a massive scale, financial support for animal welfare causes is less than 1 per cent of the amount that comes in for human causes.

It's now time to fight for the dignity of animal life. It's now time to treat all sentient beings with compassion. Join hands with the India Animal Fund Freedom For All campaign to help animals.

Here are the Highlights of #FreedomForAll Telethon:

Wild animals belong in nature, not in our wardrobes: Dia Mirza, Actor, Eco Investor, Goodwill Ambassador UNEP, UN Secretary Generals Advocate for SDGs


I'm so grateful to NDTV and the India Animal Fund for this initiative to help animals. Thanks to the groups I work with, like PETA India, animals have friends by their side to help them and speak up for them. I worked with PETA India to help snakes, alligators, and other animals used for fashion. I was horrified to learn that snakes are often nailed to trees, skinned alive and left to suffer. Alligators are often cramped into small spaces on factory farms and then beaten to death with hammers or axes. Our message was, and still is, that wild animals belong in nature, not in our wardrobes. It's important that we all take a stand against cruelty and speak up whenever we see something wrong. It's important that we support organizations that take the stand too. I urge everyone to donate. Your generous contribution will go a long way to help protect animals and help animals.

About The Campaign

We cage animals, we test on animals, we hunt animals, we kill animals.

The scale and intensity of animal suffering is far greater than any other form of suffering.

And yet it is a suffering that goes unnoticed by most of us.

Animals globally are in dire need of aid & support from the cruelty that they endure each day. The statistics are appalling & the resolve is barely skimming the surface.

Millions of animals suffer inhuman treatment as a result of illegal trade and poaching, reckless breeding, farm agriculture and lab experiments. The laws that protect animals are archaic, there is poor compliance, and existing facilities and infrastructure at animal shelters are below par, and too few in number.

Despite this animal harm & exploitation on a massive scale, financial support for animal welfare causes is less than 1% of the amount that comes in for human causes.

Animal welfare should concern us all. Human health issues, environmental degradation, global warming and challenges of animal well-being are all interconnected. There is an imminent need to be aware of  and to adopt an one health approach. For one to be healthy, the planet and all living beings on it need to be healthy.

The India Animal Fund Freedom For All campaign envisions a world free of animal harm and exploitation which prioritizes ending the suffering of all sentient beings independent of species.

The campaign aims to provide a platform for effective giving that produces transparent, independent, evidence-based and actionable recommendations of interventions/ organizations to demonstrably reduce animal suffering in India.

It’s now time to fight for the dignity of animal life. It’s now time to treat all sentient beings with compassion.

Join hands with the India Animal Fund Freedom For All campaign to help animals. They only have us for support.
