048: Lighting a Lamp in the Darkness: Robin Singh's Mission to Reduce Animal Suffering

Billions of animals suffer each year because of human choices. While rescue saves individual lives, preventing suffering at its source creates lasting change. In this episode of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, Cheryl Moss talks with Robin Singh, co founder of Peepal Farm, an animal rescue, veterinary clinic, and awareness organization in India. Robin shares how his pursuit of happiness after leaving the tech industry led to emptiness, until meeting an elderly woman caring for abandoned dogs shifted his life toward purpose. That experience became the foundation for Peepal Farm's mission. The conversation explores why rescue alone is not enough, how sterilization and education prevent future harm, and how storytelling through social media and animation has helped Peepal Farm reach millions with messages rooted in compassion rather than blame. Robin also reflects on his book Happiness Happens: Happiness For Those Who Have Everything Else and why purpose is the antidote to disconnection and despair.
