PETA India Urges Nationwide Ban on Meat Advertisements from October 2
PETA India has urged the Indian government to ban meat advertisements nationwide starting October 2 to honor Mahatma Gandhi's principle of non-violence. The organization cited concerns about animal welfare, public health, environmental impact, and antimicrobial resistance linked to meat consumption and intensive animal farming. PETA referenced similar bans in European cities and highlighted investigations into slaughter and transportation practices. The group also noted the meat-free menu served at the recent BRICS Summit hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
