Anant Ambani said – Animals are the form of God today.
Mukesh Ambani’s younger son Anant Ambani while addressing the media said that I have been serving animals since childhood. My mom and dad told me that one who serves dumb animals gets virtue.
He said that even in Hindu religion it is said that animals are the form of God today. We cannot see God face to face, so I believe that serving animals is God’s job. My mother has taught me to love animals and rear animals since childhood. That’s why I started it.
Rescue and rehabilitation center built on 650 acres
Anant Ambani said that within the 3000-acre campus, a rescue and rehabilitation center for animals has been built on 650 acres, where animals from India as well as around the world are rescued and kept. Currently more than 2000 animals of 43 species are under the care of the rescue and rehabilitation centre.
Bantara Ecosystem houses more than 200 elephants, more than 300 leopards, tigers, lions and other wild animals. While more than 300 vegetarian animals have also been kept.
