Introduction

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
