(**Helping the community by helping animals)
Mundgod February 14th
2008: Roses, gifts, chocolates & candles; for
most people, this is the description of Valentine's
day. But for a group of young Tibetans, this day
meant something more than that.
Tibetan Volunteers for Animals (TVA) headed by Mr.
Lobsang Monlam organized a 3 day animal welfare
program called 'We CARE' at Mundgod. The main aim of
the program was to treat sick and injured animals
and to protect the dogs against Rabies by
vaccinating them - a perfect gift for the animals on
Valentine's day.
TVA vaccinated 443 dogs and gave medical treatment
to 19 dogs, 4 cats, 1 buffalo and 4 cows in all the
9 villages and two monasteries.
Most of the dogs have skin infections due to lack of
medical care. A proper sterilization program is
required to keep a check on the stray dog
population.
Whether we accept it or not, animals are a part of
our community and since animals can't take care of
themselves, it is our moral responsibility to take
care of these innocent beings. At times when
epidemic strike on these animals, we should not
abandon them or kill them instead this is the time
when they need our love, compassion and help as much
as we needed theirs when they were cute and healthy.
"Love doesn't make
the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."
Our heartfelt
gratitude towards:
