Ardeshir Cowasjee’s column on animal welfare in Pakistan

[Guest guest]

The Sunday, August 3, DAWN newspaper has a column by Ardeshir Cowasjee on

animal welfare in Pakistan. He writes:

 

" Things will hopefully get better for our disgustingly treated animals - it

was Mahatma Gandhi who famously once said that the level of a country's

civilisation can be gauged by its treatment of animals. Where does this

leave Pakistan's level of civilisation? "

 

The column highlights some of the positive happenings for the animals of

Karachi, such as the work of The Brooke

<http://www.thebrooke.org/>organisation and the Richmond

Crawford

Hospital<http://pawspakistan.org/photos/richmond-crawford-veterinary-hospital/>o\

n

M.A. Jinnah road. Brooke has recently set up operations in the city,

and

their mobile clinic team reaches a number of communities to help them take

better care of their working equines. Richmond Crawford Hospital was founded

by an English Commissioner over a century ago, and is located in the heart

of the city.
