FEEDING STRAY ANIMALS

 WHY SHOULD WE FEED STREET ANIMALS?

As a child, my family would sometimes go out for dinner at a Chinese eatery near our house. The food was alright, but one thing that’s stuck with me even after all this time was how a group of stray dogs would hang around near my table, just waiting for me to drop them scraps of fish or chicken. 

As I grew up, I realized that it wasn't just me. Most INDIANS are reluctant to feed stray animals at eateries. The restaurant owners themselves often dislike having strays around because it makes their eateries look dirty — especially when well-meaning customers throw food on the ground for the animals to eat. 


Yet unlike what most people assume, feeding stray animals can actually be helpful. 

SUFFERING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC: -

This is not only tough times for humans but also for these strays too. Due to lots of street vendors are not working these animals are more unlikely to get food near any restaurant or food market on which they are generally dependent.

We should take charge of it and work for them. We should come forward and provide them food for eat. Without any safe and reliable source of food, many strays will start to starve. Unless something changes, authorities are worried that some strays may become more aggressive out of hunger and desperation. 

WHY SHOULD WE HELP?



Aside from simple compassion? 

Despite what some may assume, stray animals aren’t going to disappear just because we ignore them. While some callous individuals will insist that we need to cull their numbers, starving them isn’t the solution. 

A stray's life is hard enough as it is. Even if they get fed, not many of them will live as long or as happily as a domestic pet. Without access to vaccinations or medicine, many strays end up riddled with parasites and diseases, which is why Feeding Stations and Trap, Neuter/Spay and Release (TNR) programs are an effective way of reducing their numbers. 

WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER AND HELP THEM JUST BECOUSE THEY CAN'T SAY ANYTHING IT DOESN'T MEAN WE LEFT THEM INTO SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. AS A HUMAN BEING IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CHARGE OF IT.

TOP 6 TERROR ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD

 HAMAS Hamas is a militant movement and one of the Palestinian territories’ two major political parties. It governs more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but the group is best known for its armed resistance to Israel. Dozens of countries have designated Hamas a terrorist organization, though some apply this label only to its military wing. Iran provides it with material and financial support, and Turkey reportedly harbors some of its top leaders. Its rival party, Fatah, which dominates the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and rules in the West Bank, has renounced violence. The split in Palestinian leadership and Hamas’s unwavering hostility toward Israel have diminished prospects for stability in Gaza. WHAT ARE THE GROUP'S ORIGIN? Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (“Islamic Resistance Movement”), was founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Palestinian cleric who became an activist in local branches of the Muslim Brotherhood after dedicating his ...

  FEEDING STRAY DOGS AND CATS “Sharing is caring”. This old famous saying has been such an integral part of our lives. As children, experiencing the excitement of opening your lunchbox to share with fellow classmates, was a big part of our school days. And as adults, organizing a potluck is a great way to socialize. Extending this hand of care to those in need is an act of compassion – one that is an innate human tendency. However, very often we don’t extend this compassion to our furry friends, dogs unless they’re domesticated pets. Strays are left to scavenge for anything they can get their paws on; it’s a struggle for survival and they often resort to subsisting on scraps, fighting each other for a share. While they may have a strong resistance to diseases, there are still high chances of strays being injured or being emaciated as only the fittest survive and manage to feed themselves.  When we as dog and cat lovers come together and extend a feeding hand to our furr...
