In 2013, Bhargsetu Sharma from Gujarat started �Humans with Humanity� to rescue distressed animals. Today, more than 3,000 people across the country have joined her cause to be the voice for thousands of animals.
Growing up in a family that cared deeply for animals, Bhargsetu Sharma from Gujarat always had compassion for animals. However, an event in 2012 turned her passion into her life�s mission.
�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.
While she continues to inspire with her compassion for furry creatures, she says, �Let us all be together in this journey where we can support people as well as nature around us, and live a better and more beautiful life.�
