The coronavirus lockdown has not only forced the entire world indoors, but has put Indias four legged strays in extreme distress. Unavailability of food and water in the scorching summer is impacting stray animals all over the country.
Most animals go unnoticed and dont get medical help.
Our organisation treats about 35 cases a day which include strays, abandoned pets and pets accompanied by owners. A dedicated team of veterinarians has been treating animals to help ease the pain.
There are about 1.713 crore stray dogs in India, according to the Livestock Census of 2012. These numbers would have multiplied by now.
These dogs and cats have been depending on a whole community of friendly humans. Not having anybody around for so long is quite stressful for them. Apart from feeding stray animals humans have also played a huge role in taking care of their well-being.
