3. SOME NOTABLE FIELD CALLS

 

# On a call from PETA India, PAWS rescued an injured PIG from Dahisar

which had maggot wounds in its eyes. Nilesh, Prasad & Kishor of PAWS

hospitalized the pig at the Thane SPCA animal hospital and could save one

of its eyes from further damage.

 

# PAWS volunteers Nilesh & Kunal also rescued a cobra that had entered a

ground at Gandhi Nagar area.

With the help of Wildlife Department , the snake was released into the

wild habitat.

 

# When Kishor who works with PAWS spotted an injured and bleeding buffalo

on the Diva-Vasai railway track, our ‘Best volunteer’ Prasad with Nilesh

rushed to the spot. With the help of local people, the buffalo was taken

away but it was too huge to fit into our Matador Ambulance. We gave spot

first aid to stop external and internal bleeding. Unfortunately, despite

all the efforts, the buffalo died early the next morning as its spinal

cord was broken as a result of injury from the railway engine.

On same railway track we found a dog hit by a train. We rescued the

injured dog immediately sent him to Thane SPCA animal hospital where he

breathed his last.

Hats off to Prasad & Kishor for their innumerable efforts in saving both

these animals. We really proud of them!

 

 

Our Ambulances rescues more then 3 distressed animals on an average per

day. This includes dogs, cats, birds and small reptiles. The cost of the

Fuel goes more then Rs.20,000/- per month. To help us in our rescue work

7. VEGAN RECEIPE:

 

Spanish Gratin Potatoes

 

Looking for a smart snack? Almonds contain calcium and magnesium for

strong bones and monounsaturated fat for a healthy heart. High in protein,

these tasty little treats also provide vitamin E, potassium, and iron.

Almonds are extremely versatile -- you can eat them plain or use them

in recipes to replace dairy and enhance flavors, as displayed in this

Spanish Gratin Potato recipe. Almond milk is a terrific dairy-alternative

as well!

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. potatoes, boiled*

salt and pepper (to taste)

2 pinches saffron

3 Tbs. olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp. paprika

1 slice bread, torn into pieces

1/2 cup almonds, chopped (preferably blanched)

2 cups boiling vegetable stock or water

1 Tbs. parsley, chopped

 

* don't peel for higher fiber and minerals

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F while cutting the potatoes in quarters or slices.

Oil baking dish; arrange potatoes in a single layer; season with salt,

pepper, and saffron. In the frying pan, heat oil over medium heat, add

bread, almonds, and garlic, and sauté until golden; process in food

processor with paprika and a bit of the stock until smooth.

 

Sprinkle mixture over potatoes and then pour remaining stock on top. Cover

and bake for 45 minutes, gently stir and continue baking, uncovered

and bake for 20-30 minutes, until liquid is gone and potatoes are cooked.

Place under broiler for a moment until brown, sprinkle with parsley,

and serve.
