Where:       VW3P+X83, Parivartan Chowk, Near KD Singh Babu Stadium Metro Station, Kaiser Bagh Officer’s Colony, Kaiser Bagh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226001

“Humans are one animal among many with the choice of whether to be bullies or protectors, and our ethical obligation is to leave animals in peace, not reduce them to pieces as they feel pain and fear, and value their lives,” says PETA India Campaigns Coordinator Apeksha Tamane. “PETA India is calling on everyone to show compassion and respect and to choose foods that value life.”

Pigs and goats are social, highly intelligent, emotionally complex animals with unique personalities—much like the dogs and cats we love. Pigs are known to dream, recognise their names and show empathy for other pigs who are happy or distressed. Goats are playful, good at figuring out puzzles and opening gates, and have excellent memories.

Yet in today’s meat, egg and dairy industry, huge numbers of animals are raised in vast warehouses in severe confinement: goats’ throats are slit while they are conscious, pigs are stabbed in the heart as they scream, chickens are killed in full view of their companions, fish are suffocated and are cut open while they’re still alive. Chickens used for eggs are confined to small cages that can’t spread a single wing. Cows and buffaloes are crammed into vehicles in such large numbers that their bones often break before they’re dragged off to a slaughterhouse. Male chicks are commonly burned, drowned, crushed, fed live to fish, or killed in other cruel ways, along with other unwanted chicks, because they cannot lay eggs. Similarly, male calves, as they cannot produce milk, are separated from their mothers shortly after birth and are starved, abandoned or slaughtered for beef and leather.

Each vegan person spares the lives of up to nearly 200 animals per year. In addition, people who eat vegan reduce their risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Raising animals for food is also a leading cause of water pollution and water and land use, and a United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards vegan eating is necessary to combat the worst effects of the climate catastrophe. PETA India offers a free vegan starter kit for those ready to switch.

PETA India’s motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat or abuse in any other way.” For more information, please visit PETAIndia.com or follow PETA India on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
