“A few puppies were thrown away from my society because they used to poop or litter around. We brought them back and realised that they have a right to live on this planet, which belongs to all of us,” says Bhargsetu, who is now in her 20s.

Soon after, her friends joined her cause and they started receiving multiple calls for animal rescue. To expand the work, she started a Facebook page called ‘Humans with Humanity’ in 2013 along with her friend Shardul Dave.

What started with eight members is today a team of 3,000 people across the country. So far, her team has rescued over 5,000 stray animals like dogs, monkeys, and birds.

“We do not call ourselves animal welfare activists but we call ourselves humanitarians. We set an example of humanity in society and how to be kind, compassionate, and considerate with animals around,” she adds.

Bhargsetu also appeared on the TV show ‘MTV Roadies Real Heroes’ for her incredible work. “I was invited on the TV show, where I was able to be the voice for animals,” she says.
