The Tails and Trails Crew Club, an animal welfare club, organised “Paws & Purpose”—an enlightening visit to the People for Animals (PFA) Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre, Bengaluru, on October 25, 2025.

The visit offered students a firsthand experience of how PFA, a non-profit organisation, rescues, treats, and rehabilitates injured wild animals with compassion and care. Students learnt about innovative treatments such as electric acupuncture for reptiles and imping, a surgical feather replacement technique that helps injured birds fly again — supported by the centre’s unique “Feather Bank”.

The PFA team shared insights into their rescue operations, supported by ambulances and trained volunteers who respond promptly to distress calls. Having completed over 45,000 successful rescues spanning 231 species, PFA continues to lead the way in wildlife conservation through its 4R approach — Rescue, Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Release.

The event inspired students to understand the importance of animal welfare, urban biodiversity, and sustainable coexistence—truly living up to its name, “Paws & Purpose”.
