Feeding Indian Street Dogs
India has more than 30 million stray dogs that need feeding every day. Strays are very street smart and know how to survive in the wild or in the city. The pandemic however has put a new spanner in the wheels where dogs are not getting enough food to survive. India is a country where on a daily basis, we feed crows and birds by philosophy. It is imperative that the stray dog situation in India gets noticed, and guidelines established for safe and effective containment, rehabilitation and neutering of the animals. Cruelty against animals is a criminal punishable offence under Sections 428 and 429 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Injuring, poisoning, relocating animals or taking away their shelter are punishable offences under the provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The Animal Welfare Board of India has guidelines regarding feeding of stray dogs.

Covid-19 Feeding
Sharing is Caring
Covid – 19 affected stray animals as much as it affected humans. Though animals could not transmit COVID to humans, they were ill-treated, abandoned and ignored by humans. As we know, stray animals and in special dogs , depend on left over food from street dogs, chicken shops and bakeries which were closed during Covid lockdown.
Through friends like Manjari Chaitanya Colaco (Founder of Luke N Stories – Community feeding) and other supportive people all over the world, we were able to feed more than 400 dogs in and around Hulimavu and Arekere for the period of April 2019 to July 2020.
