MUMBAI: People For Animals (PFA) is doing Mumbai's first ever radio fundraiser for animals on RadioCity on October 31 and November 1 from 9 am to 11am. ``The concept of a TV or radio fundraiser is very common in the West. This is the first time it will be taking place in Mumbai. Maneka Gandhi, Hema Malini and Zeenat Aman all of whom are vegetarians and animal lovers will be on the show promoting animal rights and encouraging people to donate to animal welfare. It's amazing so many people support animal welfare and are open to these fun new ways of fundraising!'' said Ambika Hiranandani of PFA.
