Feeding Stray Animals During COVID-19: Our Ongoing Mission
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, life as we knew it came to a standstill. For many stray animals in India, the lockdown meant a sudden and severe shortage of food sources. Restaurants, street vendors, and kind-hearted locals who regularly fed these animals were no longer available. Recognizing the dire situation, we took immediate action to ensure that no stray dog went hungry during this challenging time.
How It All Began
As the lockdown was enforced, we started to notice the desperate plight of stray dogs. Many were wandering the empty streets, searching for scraps of food that were no longer there. Driven by compassion and a sense of responsibility, we launched a feeding initiative:
- Initial Efforts: With a few volunteers and limited resources, we began by feeding stray dogs in our local area. Our first mission was to identify the most vulnerable groups and provide them with nutritious meals.
- Community Support: As word spread, more people joined our cause. Donations began to pour in, allowing us to expand our reach. We partnered with local food suppliers and animal lovers to secure a steady supply of dog food.
Expanding Our Reach
What started as a small effort soon grew into a large-scale operation:
- Daily Feeding: Today, we feed around 150-200 stray dogs every single day. Our dedicated team travels across various neighbourhoods, ensuring that each dog receives a healthy meal.
- Sustainable Practices: We have developed a sustainable feeding program that includes balanced nutrition to keep the dogs healthy and strong. Our meals consist of rice, meat, vegetables, and dog food kibble, tailored to meet their dietary needs.
Continuing the Mission
Even as lockdowns have eased, the need for feeding stray dogs remains critical. Many of these animals still rely on the meals we provide. Our commitment to them continues unwaveringly:
- Consistent Efforts: Our team remains dedicated to feeding these dogs daily, come rain or shine. We have established feeding stations in various locations to ensure that no dog is left hungry.
- Volunteer Engagement: We have a strong network of volunteers who help with food preparation, distribution, and monitoring the health and well-being of the dogs.
