When PETA President Ingrid Newkirk arrived in Mumbai for a visit to PETA India, one of the first sights that greeted her was a terrified 4-month-old puppy who had third-degree acid burns on her back and was being attacked by other dogs.
Newkirk was able to snatch her up in her arms and rush her to PETA India’s office, where a veterinarian treated her severe injuries.
Now named Hershey, the rescued pup has recovered from her burns and is living at an animal sanctuary while she waits for the perfect adoptive family. And she’s made plenty of new friends, from the human caregivers she loves to shower with kisses to the canine pals she runs and wrestles with.
PETA’s mission statement is that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way:
