PETA India distributes vegan meals in Delhi honoring founder’s mother

PETA India gave vegan rajma-chawal meals to 3,000 people in Delhi.

The food was provided to children and people in need.

The meal distribution remembered Mary Patricia Ward.

Ward was the mother of PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk.

She lived in Delhi during the 1950s and 1960s.

She helped children, mothers, orphaned children, and people affected by leprosy.

She also rescued injured dogs from the streets.

Her daughter said Ward taught her to help anyone who was suffering.

PETA India said the meals honored Ward’s caring values.
