(IN) What is happening in Kerala-Trivandrum?

[Guest guest]

The Trivandrum Municipal Corporation publicise that they are doing the ABC-AR

programme.But does their version have any base?

 

*First of all,they haven't formed a monitoring committe which is mandatory as

they have no association with any Animal Welfare Organisation or the SPCA in

Trivandrum which is yet to be setup.This itself kills their argument that they

were and is doing the ABC-AR programme,dead.

 

*According to the ABC rules the committee shall be responsible for planning and

management of dog-control programme in which case Trivadrum doesn't have a valid

committee even if they have one and hence whatever(in their trademark cruellest

fashion!) they are doing isn't valid.

 

*Their dog-capturing squad does not consist of any representative from any

Animal Welfare Organisation

 

*Neither the absent representative from an Animal Welfare Organisation or the

dog-catchers themselves are making any announcements explaining the concept of

the ABC-Ar programme.

 

* 'ABC-Rules 7-(8)''The dog kennel must have sufficient space for proper housing

and free movement of dogs.The place should have proper ventilation and natural

lighting and must be kept clean. Adults and puppies must be housed separately

and amongst the adults the males and females also should be housed separately.

Adequate arrange meant for drinkng water and food shall be made for dogs while

in captivity''

 

They have open air, metallic dog-kennels slightly bigger than the size of

broiler-chicken cages prone to rain and natural hazards in wich any puppy more

than 4-5 months will experience uneasiness in movement.

The dogs are usually left with no food or water; the last time i visited the

place all i could find in the filthy so-called kennels was a bowl of 'ancient'

rice filled with water in the kennel of a female unconscious dog which accoding

to them was sterilised the same morning. It was surprising for me to know that

they have magic hands that can make the fur grow back after surgery within a

couple of hours. 

It definitely has proper ventilation and natural lighting as it kept in an open

ground.

 

*Whilst they were killing (truth as we know) / killing the incurably ill (their

version), it used to be done by the dog-catchers who have no veterinary

background.

 

*While dealing the furious or dumb rabid dogs no member from any Animal Welfare

organisation was present.

 

* The carcassses of euthanised dogs were buried on road-sides or premises from

where they were caught as proved by photographs and letters from citizens.

 

Leave alone the more than enough proof, that they were killing; all of the above

could make their statement invalid.

 

 

On the 20th of this month the dog-catchers and their filthy with poo rickshaw

were found outside a veterinary hospital in Thiruvallom, Trivandrum. There was a

dog in there bleeding from the head which most probably had distemper. When I

asked the man who was almost attacking me by that time, why isn't a vet

attending on the dog as its state was terrible with the bleeding and was shaking

its bottom part?, he said to me that he(dog catcher with no vet training) had

just given it an anaesthesia(?). Two dogs had stitches and were half-dizzy and

it seemed that they have been operated. I pleaded to him to give the gasping

dogs some water but they did not listen and drove off in their rickshaw.

 After 3-4 days they were again spotted with puppies which were not old enough

to be sterilised in the premises of their district vet hospital at Pettah. What

can they be possible doing with them?

 

One must imagine the extent to which they may go for money. There was a news

report on Asianet News yesterday evening which showed a dog in Calicut, North

Kerala with a knife on his abdomen. It was a butcher's knife and that particular

dog never to be seen again after some compassionate citizens took the knife out,

was apparently the only dog which escaped as some citizens said that the butcher

was adulterating meat with dog meat and they had also seen other dog with cuts

as the butcher chased them and failed.

All I want is that people should know what is happening.

Unfortunately as Swami Aurobindo said ''Indians have forgot how to think'' and

to vote smart( here i mean not just the act of putting the ballot in the box but

forming or controlling a Govt. with the principles of true republic). I don't

trust the Govt. and hence do not hope to change anything until the people

realise.

 

Warm regards
