Rescue of 7 Cobra's from snakes charmers in jaipur

[Guest guest]

R.A.W. is a Activist Group/association founded to work for animal

rights and welfare of animals . R.A.W. protects and speaks for all

animals from abuse , beating , ill-treatment , captivity of birds ,

over-loading and against any cruelty . The two main objectives which

R.A.W. strives to achieve is a federation of all the organizations

working for the cause of animals and secondly is educational

awareness because it is the most important thing because the habit

of looking , loving animals and conserving habitat needs to be

instilled in to the young , if animals and humans who are dependent

on them are to survive at all . As there are many organizations

working differently in different places throughout India but only

their (Federation)togetherness would bring a little difference and

this difference would become a revolution in the field of animal

welfare .

 

R.A.W. team rescued 7 cobras from city palace area jaipur from three

snake-charmers .

The team of five was headed by Anupam jain (President-Founder) along

with Himanshu vyas , Rituja shrivastava , Abhishek kasliwal , Kaamil

and were assisted by Manak chowk thana police .

The snakes were not in good condition there fangs had been cut by

the charmers and were kept without water from a long time . The

snakes were left in the Jhalana forest area under the wildlife

department. .

 

Rohit briefed the media saying All snakes are carnivorous – in

nature they eat animal food .The snakes are kept thirsty and hungry

by charmers for days on end , especially during Nagpanchami for

days prior to the festival - The thirsty snakes would drink , just

about anything , even a soft drink , to quench their thirst , All

snakes are allergic to milk which they cannot digest as it not

being there natural diet and die in two or three days due to

pneumonia , lung infection, other bacterila diseases etc . l

 

Anupam Briefed the media saying Snakes play an important part in the

cycle ,they contain the rodent population which eats up our 10% of

India's total food grain produce .
