Roshan Pathak of PAL said that animal lovers want peaceful coexistence of humans with other creatures. “Animal cruelty and harassment of animal lovers have been going on for a long time, and every time we ask for assistance from political parties or the government, no assistance is provided because these parties and government officials are only interested in maintaining their assembly seats and power,” said Pathak who said that people who believe in the rights of animals should contest in the elections.
