Mumbai: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has announced to host the first-ever educational workshop in Mumbai to fight crime against animals.
On Sunday, PETA India’s legal advisor and director of cruelty response Meet Ashar will lead an educational and capacity-building workshop for members of the public including rescuers and other animal protection activists.
The workshop will aim to empower participants to take action against illegal cruelty to animals in response to rising cases of cruelty to animals being registered in the city to protect both animals and humans against violence.
Focus On Legal Awareness And Tools
The cruelty response department at PETA India works with the police, forest department and other officials responsible for fighting crimes against animals across the country. Through legal awareness and practical tools, attendees will learn how to ensure action against those who abuse animals.
The workshop, to be held from 11am to 12pm at Tunga International’s rooftop in Andheri East will be attended by former member of parliament Poonam Mahajan as the chief guest.
Link Between Animal Cruelty And Other Crimes
According to PETA India, a study by ‘Forensic Research & Criminology International Journal’ states that those who engage in animal cruelty were more likely to commit other crimes, including murder, rape, robbery, assault, harassment, threats, and substance abuse.
