Nepal animal birth control-For those who care the stray dog situation in Kathmandu Valley is a painful subject. Every day those four legged loyal friends remind us of the fact that we fail to provide a space for ‘man’s best friend’. They lie injured along busy highways, are being chased away even when giving birth, and sometimes are injured deliberately by angry youth or shopkeepers. Still, Nepal’s stray dogs are among the funniest and most dignified living beings we’ve ever come across.
animalNEPAL together with Mobile Veterinary Consultancy Service intends to establish a pilot Animal Birth Control / Anti Rabies (ABC/AR) program in Lalitpur District. Despite the high incidence of dogs and the deep concern of its residents there is not a single ABC/AR program in the district. Animal Nepal opts to work with a local group of veterinaries as this reduces investment and puts responsibility in the hands of Nepalese professionals. The pilot project, apart from introducing ABC/AR in Lalitpur District, also introduces a community awareness raising program, disseminates information to local veterinaries and trains student vets in surgical animal birth control (ABC) methods, offers sterilisation facilities to local pet owners and develops strategies for future interventions.
