Founder and Lead of Pakistan's 1st International Animal and Environmental Rights Conference, bestowing the Animal and Environmental Rights Champions to Honorable Justice Athar Minallah of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and Dr. Amir Khalil of Four Paws International. Both of them are my heroes. While Justice Athar wrote Pakistan's arguably greatest animal rights judgment granting intrinsic sentient rights to animals and shutting down zoo prison camps for animals, Dr. Amir Khalil is our go to veterinarian for all wild animals in Pakistan. Every time, Dr. Amir has been needed to help the animals of Pakistan, he has been there.
