This chapter explores the implications of India's role as a major producer of eggs, fish, and chicken, and its growing population. It delves into the importance of animal welfare, sustainable farming practices, public health concerns, and ethical considerations. The speakers discuss exports, fish welfare, production systems, and the potential for small farms to consolidate into larger ones.
In this episode, we speak to Nikunj Sharma, the CEO of Mercy for Animals India. We spoke about:
- The work of Mercy for Animals in India, and their victories so far
- The considerations for animal advocacy organisations, like Mercy for Animals, to expand into new countries rather and how this trades off with the existence of local organisations.
- The specific cultural context for animal advocacy work in India
