About PETA India

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, founded in 2000, has more than 2 million members and supporters and is the best-known animal rights organization in the country. PETA India focuses much of our attention on the four areas in which the most significant numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the most extended periods: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and the entertainment industry.
