   Dear Deepa, no website is required for those who actually can, and do, go out and help dogs. But we’d be happy to highlight your work – can you send a detailed account with pictures to info@strays.in. We’d love to hear from you

   Hello Deepa,

   Your efforts are praiseworthy.
   There are increasing number of stray dogs everywhere in Bangalore and it is a pity that the animal welfare association isn’t doing enough to ensure that their lives are taken care of. They jump to action only when there is a registered complaint against dog bites, rabid dogs and such menaces. Even the law states that their action is primarily based on complaints received from localities. There are also a lot of dogs affected with skin diseases as a result of mite and flea infestations. Something needs to be done about this and if you need volunteers then i’m sure a lot of animal lovers will pool in to rescue these stray dogs. We can also create awareness in different localities to treat street dogs well and provide them with food and water for sustenance and also eliminate roadside garbage heaps so that these animals don’t go looking for food in the garbage which is a likely ground for skin diseases.

   It is my suggestion that we bring this to the notice of reputed organisations such as CUPA, PFA and the others specifically devoted to working for stray dogs as they can definitely gather funds and vehicles and with coordination from volunteers can help sterilize and treat these animals from locality to locality and one day the whole of Bangalore will be safe for dogs and the dog population will reduce hence, sparing new born litter from the devastating living conditions.

   Alone you can help a few, but a group can reach many.

   Ayesha – the idea of The Voice of Stray Dogs (VoSD) is to deliver the whole set of services for stray dogs – and it is a result of what we thought people should be doing – but don’t. This will eventually be an extensive service. Follow on http://www.facebook.com/strays.in and vet.strays.in – you’ll see what we do other than investigation and reports that is on this page

   regards

   I would like to know the contact details of VoSD in Mumbai. If there is one in Mumbai. I think I agree with Ayesha Husna that much more can be done and in a better manner to ensure there is no cruelty on these poor animals.

   Hello…. I think we need to protest against the way these people are lodging unnecessary complaint against strays. They need to be fed and they will be fine… Even if 3 houses can feed one stray, that will be more than enough. I think people have to get more educated and compassionate towards the natural beings.
