HELPING SRI LANKA’S STREET ANIMALS

 

Our next project is to build a facility in Sri Lanka where we can increase our sterilization and rabies vaccination programmer for Sri Lanka’s abandoned street animals. 
Vaccination helps to control the spread of rabies making a safer environment for both people and animals in Sri Lanka.  It only costs £6 to sterilize a dog and £1.50 to vaccinate against rabies.  Two dogs and their offspring, in their lifetime are capable of producing thousands of unwanted puppies on the streets of Sri Lanka.  So £7.50 goes an incredibly long way and stops thousands from having to be subjected to a life of hell just as Little Bo began hers.

Little Bo was a Sri Lankan street dog. She had been left to die in a foul drainage ditch by the side of a busy dusty road in Sri Lanka, Christmas 2003.  Her eyes looked into mine and from that moment my life changed completely. I could not walk on by, as so many people were, she was dying.  After what seemed like endless negotiations, red tape and heartache I finally managed to get Little Bo fit and well and flown to the UK where she now lives with me.  I could not stop there though as there are thousands that need help just like Bo.

Life as a street dog offers nothing. Classed as vermin by some people they are either born or abandoned on the streets. They survive by eating from garbage left on the road side. Lack of food and water leads to skin disease and mange; secondary infections include ulcerations of the eyes, then blindness.  Infected wounds caused by constant scratching leads to septicaemia and open wounds are easily infected with maggots because of the heat. They are beaten, stoned, poisoned, have boiling water thrown over them, and are hit by vehicles and left to die screaming by the side of the road. There are no animal organizations that can be called to help this situation.
