Friendicoes says need of the hour was for vets, authorities & NGOs to collectively discuss how to remedy challenges faced by some ABC units, and what can be done to find solutions.
Failure to comply with WAZA order can lead to indefinite suspension, world body warns. In 2020, ThePrint had reported how Delhi High Court had stepped for well-being of Shankar.
200 mules died in Kedarnath in 2022, and 115 died in 2023. 20 animals have already died in the first 20 days of 2024. But these are only the official, registered deaths.
Support for the ban has grown under President Yoon Suk Yeol, an animal lover who has adopted 6 dogs and 8 cats with first lady Kim Keon Hee, also a vocal critic of dog meat trade.
The government's veterinary care hospitals in Delhi are in bad shape, with premises being used for activities like badminton and ludo, and some left abandoned.
Unlike in humans, paw preference appears to be roughly evenly split. Handedness in dogs is therefore specific to the individual, rather than the population.
The 200-odd dogs collectively own 26 bighas of land. The property has gained in value over the years but the villagers won't let anyone put a price on it.
Delhi HC has ordered an inspection of the living conditions of Shankar, the elephant who was a gift to India from Zimbabwe in 1998, and has since lived in Delhi zoo.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Thank you for exposing the crimes happening in Delhi in the name of Animal Welfare!
Thank you, Mrinalini and Team Print.
Like Writa has mentioned I too totally think that Canine Control and Care has the best ABC program in the world! Their centers are so meticulously clean and dogs are so relaxed and happy.
Will you please cover their work in Pune as it will be an eye opener for other cities that a successful ABC program can effectively bring down the stray dog population – there is no reason to kill them as killing for a hundred years did not even help the British to destroy India’s dogs! Sterilisation is the perfect solution but it has to be executed effectively – without corruption and tender business. Only CSR funded NGOs like CCC should be allowed to work in the ABC space. Pune has such an amazing success in controlling stay dog population thanks to CCC.
Please write to admin@caninecontrolandcare.org to get permission to visit their centers and understand why they are so successful in animal birth control program execution.
It’s disgusting how Delhi community dogs are being treated. The only sensible way to control stray populations is through the AWBI approved ABC process of sterilization and return of dogs to their original locations. This is what CANINE CONTROL AND CARE has been doing in Pune successfully. It is the most humane way.
It’s a shame to see ABC CENTRES in such rotten conditions…imagine how many dogs die because of the surgery itself or bec of the unhygienic filthy conditions of post operative care if there is any.
These poor dogs go through so much and the amount of money that corrupt people are making in the name of ABC whilst these dogs are dying.
I couldn’t agree more that a well run ABC can really transform animal welfare helping to curb human animal conflict and most importantly to end the suffering of these dogs and puppies.
I really wish DELHI’s ABC Centres can turn around their game and set an example for other cities to follow.
This can all happen if the people in authority just tighten their belts and AWBI also does more than just passing regulations and be stringent in their policies.
WE NEED EVERYONE TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK THIS OUT.
Stray dogs have no place at all in a city. They pose a grave danger to human beings.
One often comes across news of strays attacking and mauling little children and elderly people. At times, packs of stray dogs even kill toddlers and senior citizens.
The municipal authorities must initiate culling of stray dogs on an massive scale. This is of utmost importance to keep our streets and localities safe for children and elderly.
