Driving Animal Advocacy Through Technology & Motorsports
Vishakha Fulsunge is a MotoVlogger and gamer who is using technology and motorsports to bring awareness to animal treatment in India.
“My love for animals runs so deep that it’s even gotten me in a couple of dangerous situations. During one of my trips, I rescued a puppy while fighting 11 intoxicated men that happened to be extending a knife in my direction. They were playing catch n’ throw with that 25-day-old, injured puppy. Without hesitation, I ran toward them and snatched the puppy, bringing it to safety. It was raining, so I covered it with my raincoat, hopped on my bike and drove off as quickly as possible. I’m proud to say I saved both our lives that day, and the puppy has since been adopted.”

Species in our natural world have adapted and advanced over the years to remain successful on our planet. If we slow down long enough to experience and explore nature, it is surprising how inspiring our planet can be.”
