" Fodder supply in Nagoor village in progress "

 

Dr. Cyril Roy, has set up feeding stations in several large towns of

Akkarapettai, Seruder, Yusuf nagar, Pattinacher, Karaihalmedu,

Velankanni, Nagoor, Echakuppam Kallar and Tarangambadi. These are the

worst hit, low lying areas now crisscrossed by shallow creeks. The

government is working over time and Electricity has been restored and

street lighting is back even in those areas where it wasn't there

previously. Bulldozers are plying, flattening the broken houses in

which the animals had taken refuge. Many of the shyer cats and dogs only

emerged for night feeding sessions...but after the bulldozers have

flattened the remnants of the old houses the disturbed animals have fled

further inland. Dr Cyril is having to change his feeding points

specially for the small animals. Till now he has been distributing two

to three trucks of green grass or fodder each day. Each truck has a

capacity of 750 to 800 kgs of grass / fodder and two - three trucks are

meeting the needs of approximately 5 - 6 villages.

The condition of the Olive Ridley is still not great! Two local boys

have appointed themselves the protector of the turtle and guard him

during the day. The forest department have shown co-operation and the

children of the village have shown keenness in meeting Cyril and talking

about turtles. Before he leaves Cyril hopes to teach them how lucky they

are to watch the turtles lay eggs and then see the hatchlings return to

the sea! Dr Cyril was surprised to find in some of the villages almost

overnight cattle had vanished... " claimed " by people. However the animals

still needed to be fed and such " adoptions " by people who had lost their

own animals was welcome as it would prevent animals remaining as

" strays " . However it would be a pity if these animals were trucked off

by unscrupulous traders for the meat market because they are at the

moment the beginnings of livestock for the badly hit families trying to

return to normalcy
