Dog - Stray Animal - How you can help

Stray Animal – How you can help?

• Whenever you see any cruelty on stray animals, you report it the local police station, where you may be given a cold shoulder but you have to be firm as they may not be aware of the law. In such a case it becomes our duty to educate the ignorant police and save the stray animals.
• When you see a dog or cow being hit or stoned, be sure to inform the offender of the law and get him or her to stop. Should the abuse persist, register an FIR at the closest police station.
• If the municipality in your area is still cruelly killing homeless dogs, make an appointment with the municipal commissioner and make him aware of the law.
• It is illegal for a municipality to round up stray dogs and abandon them outside city limits, as it places them in circumstances likely to cause their death from starvation and thirst. Therefore, you should challenge this cruelty in court.
• When you see an animal knocked over by a vehicle, get the number of the vehicle. Check the animal for signs of life. If possible, move him or her to safety and administer life-saving first aid. If you can take the animal to a veterinarian yourself, do so. If not, call an animal welfare organisation that has an ambulance. Once the animal is taken care of, file a complaint against the offender with the closest police station (IPC, Sections 428 and 429).
• If you know of any research institute that is using animals, ask for the source of the animals. If you suspect the animals have been taken from the street or a pound or that the animals are being abused, contact the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA).

Be responsible and pay back the love you get from your pets by reporting any crime or cruelty on stray animal.
