Co-founder RAS Anusha David, who has been an animal welfare activist since the age of eight, following in her father’s footsteps, laments the fact that to date the Animal Welfare Bill has not been passed in Sri Lanka. “ Soon it will be three decades since we have been trying to get this through. The humane treatment of animals and their acceptance by society and the acknowledgement of their rightful place in our world and our need to coexist is a huge void in Sri Lanka’s DNA”.
