Tsunami relief-and rabies vacine

[Guest guest]

Animal Welfare and Protection Association of Sri Lanka which is at 107

,Kadawatha Road ,Dehiwela

Sri Lanka has agreed to donate 5000 collars for the identification collars

for the dogs !

That is one of the oldest organisations of Sri Lanka .It is so remarkable as

they have a shelter

at 107 ,Kadawatha Road ,Dehiwela and another home at Kahathuduwa.

 

They suggested that it would be better to send rabies vaccine instead

money for Tsunami relief for animals.

Human rabies cases were increased in 2004 .

 

I inquired about the animals from the Buddhist priests at Galle and Payagala

who are in charge

of relief centers .They told me that the villagers have accompanied the dogs

to the camps and they

are feeding them also.

 

There are few dogs which are unreachable.Nobody can reach them .We have been

equesting rabies oral vaccine for years to immunise such animals.

Oral vaccine is really necessary to immunise the stray dogs and wild

animals which are part of the rabies cycle .

 

 

In some camps at Balapitya Sri lankan chefs who work in hotels in the area

are preparing

tasty meals for the people.They take turns to do that welfare work.

But others are not so lucky.
