PETA India Director Poorva Joshipura Talks Vegan Living, Religion, Tradition and Animal Welfare With Pratha-Indic Renaissance

Can you be vegan as a Muslim or a Christian? Can you be Hindu without consuming dairy? Do you have to support animal sacrifice or the chaining of elephants in temples if you’re from a certain community?

PETA India supporters from all religions and communities are testaments to the fact that a vegan lifestyle is for everybody. To hear more, watch PETA India Director and PETA UK Senior Vice President of International Affairs Poorva Joshipura talk with Ms Sheenam Dhingra, joint secretary of Pratha-Indic Renaissance, in a video called “Bridging Beliefs: Balancing Vegetarianism, Religion, Tradition, and Animal Welfare in India”.

Watch it here:

Joshipura is the author of For a Moment of Taste: How What You Eat Impacts Animals, the Planet and Your Heath and Survival at Stake: How Our Treatment of Animals Is Key to Human  , the latter of which starts with this quote:

“Whoever is kind to the creatures of God, is kind to himself.”

– Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
