Please help supporting this great initiative & sign the UDAW petition! (www.bluecrossofindia.org>UDAW petition)
On Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010, Dr, Nanditha Krishna and Dr. Chinny Krishna of the Blue Cross of India met with Mr Jairam Ramesh, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India. They were accompanied by General R. M. Kharb, Chairman of the AWBI, Ms. Justine Holmes of the World Society for the Protection of Animals, and Dr. Abdul Rahman, Secretary General of the Commonwealth Veterinary Association.
Mr. Jairam Ramesh was extremely receptive to the idea of India being a signatory and sponsor of the Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare, initiated by WSPA.
When requested, he immediately agreed to sign the petition. He wrote: “As an Indian, animal welfare is part of my dharma, and it has become my karma now!”
Thereafter, the delegation met Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Minister of State for External Affairs, Government of India, and a close friend of Dr. Nanditha Krishna since they were children. He, too, signed the declaration (in his personal capacity), becoming the two millionth signatory!
