Recommended Posts

Dear colleagues,

I live in Jakarta where the animal shelter is too full to accept more

strayed animals. So I spayed , vaccinate n care the cats n dogs in my

community, I kept the house clean n pay additional money for outside

cleaning(besides the regular tax, cleaning n community service

charges.) But the barbaric residents still look for every ways

hurting em, In fact most of the time the animals not getting out of

my house. We need voice support from friends,

Your letter is touching, and very close to home in the sense that you

describe a situation so common here in Kathmandu Nepal. In Kathmandu, a

single shelter in a city of 1.5+ million is full to capacity and wholly

under-funded. There is one ABC (Animal Birth Control) centre on one side of

town targeting 5000 of the estimated 50,000 dogs in the area. Another ABC

center is in the planning stages for another side of Kathmandu

(http://www.animalnepal.org/currentprojects.htm) that will target about the

same number once built and operational. In the meantime, the approach that

you have personally taken is a noble one, and one that we also support in

this city (an individual¹s temporary adoption/spaying/vaccination/placement

of a stray with the help of a local vet). Our small org has a program that

helps an individual:

 

1. Take an animal off the street into their own home.

2. Bring the rescued animal to a vet and get proper

vaccinations/spaying/deworming/etc.

3. Find a permanent home for the animal, or if that¹s not possible, return

the animal to the street.

 

For more info on how that¹s done see Patan Rescue on this page:

http://www.animalnepal.org/activities.htm. Note: this effort is done in

conjunction with a sympathetic Vet, one willing to provide low-cost

healthcare to street animals, and funded by private donations raised by

volunteers.

 

Another idea that might help with the residents of your building is to hang

a sign that indicates animal abuse is not allowed, just as one would hang a

no-smoking sign. For a sample poster to hang, see this example:

http://www.animalnepal.org/old/images/campaigns/antikick_poster.jpg

The advantages of this approach is that it may avoid confrontation and may

raise awareness amongst your neighbors. At a minimum, it will make them

think about the issue.

 

Well, we hope these few examples may help your efforts in Jakarta.

AnimalNEPAL was started by just one person caring enough to do something

about the situation, so we encourage you to start organizing in your own

community...you are sure to find others who feel the same way as you and

that are willing to help!

I am founder of the SDON, Street dogs of nepal small rescue in Naicap. Possibly

you are refering to us . I live in Ireland but have just been in Nepal again to

see how things are progressing. We need money for a permanent site and we are

spaying, neutering and attending injured dogs but space is limited and it is

only the beginning.

We aim to keep the worst and old dogs and will continue as a rescue with a 'no

kill' policy, meaning only suffering or dogs terminally ill being killed to

alleviate their suffering. Its a really bad situation there in Kathmandu, if

anyone wants to help us see the website and email myself or Rai Dhan our Para

Vet.Im doing my best to raise money here in Ireland for a permanent Centre but

for now we are helping a small amount of dogs but every one is special... to us

every one counts.

Dear Bernie, no, I am referring to the animalNEPAL project (see links in

last post). Perhaps some collaboration is in order, no? We have the plans,

the vets, and the land all waiting for construction funds and the project

will be just about done. The new centre is modeled after KAT Centre (Jan

Salter's group) on the other side of town. We are conducting a series of

public meetings (the first held on Dec. 23rd) with the community and civic

leaders in the district of Lalitpur. The next one is Jan. 20th at the Summit

Hotel at 4PM, where we will deliver a presentation and hold a Q & A. Please

pass this info on to anyone you know working in this regard. Perhaps we can

jointly get this work done! Ps.Where is Naicap?

Bernie, that's very cool. That means there are plans for an ABC center on

the West and South of KTM, and an established centre in the North. Just one

more on the East side (Boudhanath) and that would cover the city! If each

center could spay/neuter 5000+ animals that means the stray population might

get under control within 5 years or so, and it will be pleasant to go for a

walk around this town. Please send any of your reps to our next meeting, or

forward them the link to our presentation on ABC program in Nepal:

Cheers, and best of luck!

Ps. On Kurkhur Puja Day we hold a vaccination camp in front of the Zoo.

Perhaps your group could hold one at the Temple next time? We can get the

vaccines for free, and your vets could administer. What could be better?

Ill forward this to Rai. and thank you.

We are just a small group, There are just 3 of us and Im in Ireland. Rai is

doing his best and we intend mainly looking after sick and older dogs who cannot

survive on the street. Merrit, sorry but our centre is not a big equipped

Veterinary Centre so its not in that league. See our site.

Your description sounds like a non stop conveyor belt of spaying.(You can do

that in the States but not on our resources.) Ours is just a simple rescue that

hopefully will grow to accommodate more animals. As I said Im trying to raise

money for a site in Kathmandu.(near the Monkey temple)

We did have had a problem that is now sorted. As the Bhuddist Monks didnt want

the Females in the Stupa spayed. Thanks to our work there they have now given

their go ahead so we can spay them. Our centre is very temporary and basic, our

dogs are loved and safe. Our food run keeps the bellies full,all the dogs are

treated for skin problems, we are doing our best ,so for now we are just small

fry in this equation.

every life counts...

Bernie,

 

I recently send you an invite to our public meeting on Street Dogs of Patan,

on January 20, at Summit Hotel, at 4 pm . I wonder if Raj Dhan can come so we

can meet up? It's generally not a good idea for people to work in isolation

which is why we're always in close supportive contact with the other orgs, KAT

and SPCAN. It would be good if SDON would become part of this informal network.

 

Regards, Lucia.

Re: (ID) Care for stray dogs and cats

 

Christine:

 

Your letter is touching, and very close to home in the sense that you

describe a situation so common here in Kathmandu Nepal. In Kathmandu, a

single shelter in a city of 1.5+ million is full to capacity and wholly

under-funded. There is one ABC (Animal Birth Control) centre on one side of

town targeting 5000 of the estimated 50,000 dogs in the area. Another ABC

center is in the planning stages for another side of Kathmandu

(http://www.animalnepal.org/currentprojects.htm) that will target about the

same number once built and operational. In the meantime, the approach that

you have personally taken is a noble one, and one that we also support in

this city (an individual¹s temporary adoption/spaying/vaccination/placement

of a stray with the help of a local vet). Our small org has a program that

helps an individual:

 

1. Take an animal off the street into their own home.

2. Bring the rescued animal to a vet and get proper

vaccinations/spaying/deworming/etc.

3. Find a permanent home for the animal, or if that¹s not possible, return

the animal to the street.

 

For more info on how that¹s done see Patan Rescue on this page:

http://www.animalnepal.org/activities.htm. Note: this effort is done in

conjunction with a sympathetic Vet, one willing to provide low-cost

healthcare to street animals, and funded by private donations raised by

volunteers.

 

Another idea that might help with the residents of your building is to hang

a sign that indicates animal abuse is not allowed, just as one would hang a

no-smoking sign. For a sample poster to hang, see this example:

The advantages of this approach is that it may avoid confrontation and may

raise awareness amongst your neighbors. At a minimum, it will make them

think about the issue.

 

Well, we hope these few examples may help your efforts in Jakarta.

AnimalNEPAL was started by just one person caring enough to do something

about the situation, so we encourage you to start organizing in your own

community...you are sure to find others who feel the same way as you and

that are willing to help!
