Is it tough to do
a good deed?
What I do has been categorized as social service. I don’t
know if I fall under that category. All I know is that I wanted to just help. I decided to help the dogs of my street and I found out that
it’s not just a call away. It takes a lot of time.
One puppy of our street got badly injured. It was so bad
that its bone was seen. It seems a car
ran over her paw. My neighbor DID TRY to catch the poor thing and take it to vet for
treatment but it was so afraid that whenever anyone approached her she just
moved or runs away limping. After the failed attempt of day one I thought let’s not waste more time and
call in the pros.
I tried calling so
many NGO’s and finally my plea was considered by CUPA. They came the next day
and took her and her brothers and gave me an acknowledgement slip which also
had a deposition no. They took all the 3 puppies so that the neutering also can
be completed as they were of right age. I called them up in the evening and spoke to
Dr. Suranjana who was in charge. She told frankly that the female was badly
injured and that they will try their best. The brothers came back within 2 days
but the female did not make it. So, I called again to ask the progress of the
female. The doctor said that as her injury was too much she did not make it and
that she did not suffer much during her last breath. I hoped that what the
doctor said was true and not just to comfort me as my voice was already
quivering upon hearing the news.
Next came the neutering of the mother/father and 2 elder
twins brothers (if you follow me in my Instagram account you would have seen
the brothers picture). I spent one full week talking to all the NGO’s again
asking if they will neuter the adult street dogs. All told “no”. CUPA
(is an animal care clinic) advised me to call VSAWRD (Vet's Society for Animal
Welfare and Rural Development),so I did called. VSAWRD in turn said that
they will not do as the area is already covered and kept the phone. I tried
calling again and my call was not answered at all.
During my search, one of the NGO’s I called was KRUPA (IS AN ANIMAL HOSPITAL AND SHELTER) who
had not answered their call. I got a call back from them later that same day
and wound up speaking to Poornima (who is
a volunteer and works as a coordinator). Who told me that they only do medical mostly
and told me the same thing and that is to call VSAWRD. I told her the dilemma I
faced, she got a bit furious and said
how can they do that to you and said that I have to call Dr Parviz Piran and tell him. I had no idea who he was, I
thought what was the harm in calling. I spoke to him and he said he will send
someone. I called Poornima back and updated her with the call and asked her who
he was. I then came to know that I actually spoke to the Joint Director of
Animal Husbandry Department (AHD) for the BBMP himself. Three days later the VSAWRD
van is at my door step :D. Happy to report that the neutering got done and they are
back.
