People for Animals (PFA), also known as People for Animals India, is India's largest animal welfare organization. Maneka Gandhi, who started the organization in 1992, is its current chairperson.[1][2][3]
People for Animals regularly works with various other animals welfare and rights organizations such as Humane Society International (HSI) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). An example of this combined liaising would be the successful ten year long campaign to ban seal fur and skin in India which was passed in April 2018.[4][5][6]
