In today’s world where everyone is busy in his or her own life, there are many people whose efforts remind us that humanity is still alive on this earth. Every creature created by God has its own limitations but humans are the ones who can do welfare for all with the power of their mind and easy availability of resources to help others.
Today, I am talking about animals; who can’t speak, but they have needs as well as feelings which they can’t express to the fullest as that of humans. There are many organizations that not only care but maintain a protection center for animals. Such organizations inspire the public for vegetarianism and not to slaughter animals for their needs and wants. Here are some of those and their efforts.
