Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Three sambars rescued Tribune News Service Ludhiana, December 18 With the weather getting colder, wild animals are straying into urban areas in search for food. Three sambars have been rescued from Bilga village and the Doraha forest range with the help of villagers and activists of Care of Animals and Protection of Environment-India (CAPE). Mr Madan Lal, Vice-Chairman, CAPE-India, said today that a badly injured sambar was rescued from Doraha on Saturday while two others were saved from stray dogs at Bilga village yesterday. He said alert residents of Kadon village near Doraha spotted a wounded sambar trapped in the forest siphon. A Forest Department team led by Mr Brij Lal, Range Forest Officer, said the villagers helped in rescuing the sambar. The animal was unable to stand because of the injuries. It was brought to the forest nursery (Doraha range) and kept on a straw bed to protect it from cold. Yesterday, two sambars got stuck in a pond at Bilga village after being chased by stray dogs. The sarpanch and a panchayat member pulled them out. Honorary wildlife warden (Ludhiana) Sandeep K. Jain, along with CAPE-India patron M.R. Singhal and volunteers, rushed to the spot and asked the president of the Khanna unit of the PFA, Mr Ravi Gill, to reach with a veterinarian at the Doraha Forest Range where a sambar needed help. They also arranged for the transportation of the sambars from Bilga. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061219/ldh1.htm#1 Dr.Sandeep K.Jain Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Messenger.
