Unwanted, Ignored And Forgotten Stray Animals - Raise Awareness !

My article is dedicated to forgotten, unwanted and ignored stray animals. As a stray lover to the core i took this initiative to make awareness in our society about thousands of homeless animals, living on the streets, who are sadly ignored, for whom people think they do not exist. 

It happens to stray animals not only in India but in countries all over the world ! The reason is a lot lack of awareness. I want to raise awareness and show people what stray animals go through. I want to open their eyes and the opportunity for change possible because of awareness.

Stray animals that have known suffering and deprivation display a depth of character that is unmistakable. When i see haunting images, sorrow squeeze my heart, my soul weeps . I hope my article may invoke in you a desire to make this world a better place for unwanted stray souls.

Like us humans, stray animals too are living beings. They should not require our permission to live on earth. If you remember they have given this right from God before us! This is their world as well. It does not belong only to us humans at all.

Do you have ever took trouble to think for a moment to know about  their problems? How and what they are suffering from? Why not you ever thought majority of stray animals have learned not to trust humans !

Humans just never know the reality that stray lives are emotionally traumatized. They face acute physical, mental, social challenges. They die to the agonies of starvation, illness, cruelty, frustration, multiple and virulent contagions, exposure to extreme weather, wounds from humans - being hit by vehicles, breeding injuries, territorial imperatives, separation anxiety and many many more. They are unwanted, betrayed by humans and so killed too, this the the reality of stray lives. People look on but do nothing. This is sad and shameful that how human being so different to this level of sufferings? This world is really dangerous place for stray animals where people feel no compassion at all Thus innocent souls are completely forgotten and ignored.

My heart wrenches in sorrow when i see them dying in pain. I wish individuals should take step up and take stray animals in to their care. Though people have right to remain silent but if they do stray animals will pay.

I know we can not help everyone but we should not forget that everyone can help something for someone. 

Prove yourself a kind and responsible human being. Put all your efforts into getting the stray animals safety. You need to do some things to protect and save them. 

To support and protect them what you need to do ? 

You do not need much for that but only a big kind heart !

So take a look here - 

Keep your eye on the purpose. Put all your efforts into getting the stray animal's safety that would be lifesaver. It is humane to protect living beings who can not help for themselves. 

Rescue, adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, sponsor, share, spread the word for help, raise awareness, do not keep silence against cruelty , report against cruelty, abuse, mistreatment, killing to stray animals. Fight for their rights. Do something for them no matter size of contribution or help. Millions strays who are in their old age or pets who are abandoned suffer to a fate worse than death by heartless humans. They have no place at all to live. Just bring love, care, comfort, security and hope to them. Give stray animals dignity. 

Rescue supporters, funds and volunteers are seemingly always need. Raise awareness about it. Every individual should stand up and take the stray animal into his/her care. Do not let them die in pain and loneliness. Your love and care in their brief, final hours, they will surely come to know that they are not unwanted and forgotten, but somebody was there for them.They must feel your heart is breaking when they go. Share your mission all around for the miserable stray animals. Help in neuter and spay so no more strays will born to die on streets because being born is only their crime. So do not let this happen to them.

Friends, i am not the best. I make mistakes in my ignorance, but i am an stray animal lover to the core. My spine chills when i see man's inhumanity at the worst towards them.

I do not want any publicity. I just believe in karma. I try to find permanent homes for stray animals through their adoptions or rescue those who are in distress, admit them in hospitals/ to vets, give myself treatments to them when they are ill, hug them, love them and take care for them, whatever is possible and in my limits. My heart melts at that time when i look at their face and see into their eyes and hug them. Their face and eyes tell some thing to me that it is rare in their little lives they have not being ignored or mistreated, sincerely! 

I am doing my activities in any way to help stray animals for their safety are bigger than what i am. There are things that go too deep for words.

I vowed for unwanted ignored stray souls that i will become voice of them. I will not keep silence, i will fight their fights. I will not lose the hopes for them. They are true to the last beat of their heart so i will too to them. I owe it to them to be worthy of such devotion. Till i am alive i will continue to care for stray animals. If they will not survive due to reasons, at least they will be remembered and their lives will be count for something. So in their final moments they must feel they were not alone, there was somebody for them who love and care for them, who's heart was weeping when they were leaving.

There should be peace and safety on this planet for all living beings. Believe this fact we are equally living beings. We have to go back where we all came from.

This is my mission which i every time share with human society to raise awareness about precious but ignored and forgotten stray animals. This is a hope one day will come which will create positive change for stray animals and will make a difference ! 

Join me in my efforts. We are only the hope for voiceless. Without our support and protection they will die. Prove what your love and kindness can do ! Take all this challenge carefully, It will save innocent lives. It may fill a void, you did not realize that you had !

My motto is to make invisible stray animals visible, to be loved and protect in human society. 

 

Time is running. Take pledge to save stray animals . Start your efforts from today !

Heart Melting And Inspiring True Story Of An Amazing Stray Animal Lover !

This is a true story of an amazing person who loves stray animals more than his life. Trust me if i am saying more than his life, so i mean it. Now a days very rare people are like him. I am proud i am having he like my own child. I want to share about him with my all dear friends. This may inspire you.

That person is from Mumbai - India.
One day i received a call from him. He was talking about stray dogs and about his animal welfare activities. I asked who gave my number !? He took senior vet Dr Swali's name. Dr Swali is the person who knows me very well and respects me for my love for strays, my sincerity and sincere animal activities. He shares my contact number with genuine people only otherwise never. I respect Dr Swali a lot. I  call him uncle.
So there was no question of any doubt now.
That person wanted to meet me regarding stray work. I told him some day we will surely meet.
After that i forget him because i always receive so many calls like him so just slipped from my mind. After long long time he called me again about a stray and wanted to ask few things so i helped. But because of my stray work schedules i again forgot him.
One day i visited to Dr Swali with my baby Chotu Matta for his vaccination. I heard doctor's words. He was telling somebody,  look who has come, Manisha Matta has come .He called me inside the clinic and gave introduction of the person who was standing there along with a pet ( stray). He was that person only. So finally we met first time at uncle's clinic. He left for his home then. I asked to doctor about him. Doctor said, Manisha, i have no more words to say, if you can believe i will say in few words that i respect you a lot for your good deeds and karma. You are an amazing soul and strays are your life so trust me the same he is !!
After that whenever that person tried to talk to me or needed any help or information for strays i did sincerely. Slowly i came to know about his great stray animal activities.

Here are those. Without any doubt he was doing amazing work for strays with his own money ( though currently he is not earning, he is not on any job still he is doing from his savings ). And it is continue till date. He do stray feeding, not only in  his location but in so many areas he do. His stray feeding schedule starts in afternoon/ evening and till late night night 2.30 am - 3 am he do.
Amazing thing is that he not only feeding but he call private vets and try to  give vaccinations to all strays so they can live a healthy life, he rescue and send stray kids for their sterilization and visit there to meet them regularly. Post operation he get them back in their areas and takes a lot care of them.

He gives proper treatment when ever stray dogs/ pups are sick or injured. He give medicines, clean the wounds, apply ointments other necessary things with his own hands . When the stray kid is on medication then does not matter he will go and feed him/ her even 2-3 times a day.
Some times he keep the stray kids in private kennel if needed/ till their recovery.

His younger brother is working with a company. See the greatness of this brother. After coming back from his office he also do help to his elder brother in stray feeding. Here i will not ignore their papa's greatness who also help the sons when ever they require his help for stray lives.

Trust me friends, there are rare animal lovers like them specially that elder brother who not only doing stray feeding to quite a big number in his own location and some other areas, but along with feeding he do rescue work, follow vaccination schedule, their sterilization, treatment of ill and accident cases, take care of senior stray dogs, and many many more things he do to save innocent stray angels.
The biggest thing is, he refuse to be silent towards cruelty to strays. He understands their unsaid pain and forget to sleep in nights if any emergency with stray kid. Whole night he will spend with the needy, will pamper and will take care for him/ her. He cries so much when he see mute innocent beings in so much pain !!
He never ignore strays' needs. He never ever give up on them till their last breath.

But sadly people have awarded him by given him a name 'Pagal' (mad) for his stray love. People insult him, fight with him. Some times it hurts him a lot but for sake of strays' well being he forget everything.

Some organizations have stopped taking cases of his stray dogs when they needed help. For what reason !?
The reason is as i already told he refused to be silent if he see some wrong things happening with strays. He try to talk about some facts for their well being. So some people tried to prove him wrong. He is their target.

When i heard all about this i started visiting in his location to know the truth. I started meeting people, shopkeepers , security guards of buildings, parks, temples and restaurants where he goes for feeding, treatments. I came to know the whole truth about him. So true he is.

The truth is - he is a true angel for stray lives. he is the man of his words and commitment towards stray animals. Everybody told me not only about his stray feeding but stories of his kindness towards stray lives. The things were clear now.

One side is ego of some persons, untruthfulness, politics of some so called animal lovers and at the other side is kindness, sincere, honest, true love and care of this person towards stray lives, some proofs against those people which he showed me.

And my respect goes with that amazing person. I am with his sincerity, honesty, kindness, true love, care for our stray animals.
Because i am the same and i always stand by the side of truth, kindness towards our beloved stray angels. Stray animals are my babies.

I will never forgive myself if i will ignore or avoid to help this amazing person, a savior of stray lives. I really do not want to lose one true caring person and savior of innocent lives. Because he is already  disheartened by the harsh behavior of some so called animal lovers/ other people. Because when he needs any help for strays, for saving their lives, or need to admit a ill, injured kid, to admit or sterilize or for  vaccinate them, no body gives him response. They ignore him/ his calls. So he take them to private vets or call private vet at the locations.

I strongly believe that God is there to help for his own mute living beings. HE is there to take care of everything and will surely help this person for innocent precious souls.

So I respect you. Hats off to you and my salute to you dear Himesh Chande from bottom of my heart. You are an amazing kind person with a golden heart.
You are an angel for stray lives. You are the center of their universe. You are their voice.
Thank you so much for taking so much care of stray precious souls.

Thank you so much for saving three stray siblings by adopting them. You adopted them not with pity but with your love and gave them a home and a lot care.

Thanks to your younger brother Anand who helps you in feeding and other things after coming back from office.

Thank you so much for everything whatever you are doing to save stray precious souls.

May God bless you dear.

I respect and love those angels from cores of my heart who support, protect, feed, love, care for stray innocent precious souls.

May God bless all.

* Not only your Pet but all animals fear the noise of thunder storm, lightning. This is very stressful and scary for them. They become panic. You can easily recognize stress from its behavior. Behavior may show like salivating, shiver, tremble, rubbing or scratching paws against the door, floor,  wardrobes, furniture. They will walk behind you. At that  time pamper the pooch, shut all the windows and curtains. Keep some smoothing music/ television on. Talk polite words to them. They will feel comfortable and secure in your company. Do not take your pet for a walk at the time and ensure that he/she is not left alone in the house. 

* When it is raining avoid taking your pet for a walk without raincoat and boots.. If this precaution is not taken then due to exposure to mud and dirty water, pet's paws will get infected. And there are chances of fungal infection, skin diseases, ticks, etc. While walking you should lead and control on him so he should not try to pick or eat anything from the ground.

* Food plays an important role in pet care . Choose a wise and balanced diet for him. During rainy season pets' diet should mainly consist of fiber rich food. Try to give homemade food to him. Avoid dairy products during monsoon as some pets grow an allergy to dairy products like milk. Buttermilk is good to give at that time. Banana is good for your pet as that help him who suffer from indigestion. 

* Reduce your pets' food intake during monsoon. It will help to digest the food and also will burn all the fats. Also avoid giving cold water and cold, spicy, oily food.
