India:

 

 

On 8th September, on the occasion of World Rabies Day JBF(INDIA) had organized a

Free Health Check up and Rabies vaccination camp for the owned/street/stray

dogs. Camps were organized in areas like Ganeshguri, Narengi and also in Adabari

Chowk of Guwahati, Assam, India and received tremendous response.

 

Rabies is not curable but preventable only. In the streets of Guwahati large

numbers of homeless dogs are found roaming here & there. Homeless animals can

become a problem for many reasons: they carry diseases that can be passed to

humans and other animals (such as rabies); they can cause road accidents, harass

citizens, damage property and pollute the environment. There are also many

welfare concerns for these animals themselves: disease, hunger, aggression

between animals and persecution by humans in the form of cruelty, abuse and

inhumane methods of killing.

 

Therefore JBF(INDIA) is making an attempt to create a society which is free

from Rabies, Infection & the other nuisance etc. For this, citizens’ help is

invaluable and we feel confident that, by working together, we will achieve our

goals, and in doing so, raise the public awareness about the importance of the

animals and their welfare that can reduce the sufferings & promote the wellbeing

of the lives and building a strong human-animal bond. Also our goal is to create

a better place for animals and people to live together in harmony. JBF(INDIA) is

an animal welfare organization in the service of the society, also recognized by

Animal Welfare Board of India, Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of

India. Besides the ongoing New Delhi project, JBF has launched a Mobile Animal

Clinic which is operating in the lanes of Guwahati and receiving remarkable

response.

 

In this particular vaccination camp response from owners had been amazing. In

spite of the bad weather with heavy rainfall for nearly whole day, they were

found enthusiastic in getting their pet vaccinated as well as checked. Owner’s

response increased the JBF’s team spirit as well, which is comprised of honorary

Veterinarian Dr. Dhrubajyoti Das and other staffs Atiqur, Pankaj, Jitu & Ratul &

volunteers. Around 73 animals have been examined and out of that 64 dogs have

been vaccinated; most of them were from the streets. Along with the treatment of

the owned dogs, a handout had been distributed among the passer-by to make them

aware of rabies and do’s and don’ts with such dangerous disease. Owners have

been given a complete treatment record book with proper suggestions attached

with. This camp was structured as per directions from Dr. Sashanka, Managing

Trustee of JBF(INDIA). “JBF would like to share the success of the camp with GMC

for their cooperation” says Sangeeta

Dutta, the trustee of the organization who is the spirit behind organizing the

camp. According to her there will be more such camps in different corners of

Guwahati soon.
