Two teen girls from opposite parts of India on a mission to make an impact on promoting the concept of animal activism and animal welfare – not something you hear every day, right?
Mahatma Gandhi once said that the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. This pushed us to try and make a difference from our shoes. Animal welfare is something that is not taken seriously in our country; laws regarding animal abuse are taken as lightly as a joke, when they clearly shouldn't be! Both of us have been working for animal welfare for a long time and want to make an impact on the thought process of Indian society.
Having met each other through a casual group chat, we interacted and discovered each others’ immeasurable love for animals. Doing something for them had always remained a thought, until one evening we just decided to go for it! We started ‘Paw Patitas’ on August 24, 2020.
WHY ‘PAW PATITAS’?
Because ‘Patitas’ translates to ‘enthusiasts’, thus meaning of the name stands ‘paw enthusiasts’ as both of us are avid animal lovers!
Well, this lockdown had a lot of disadvantages but it also had a positive side. Looking at extra amount of time on hand, we thought this was it. It led us to think about problems strays are facing in this situation, and we had to do something about it.
What if you see a person physically abusing a child? You would raise your voice and not just walk away, right?
