India – AR Activists Call For Proper Sterilisation Of Dogs and Cats In Rural Areas.

Well done all – YOU HAVE OUR FULL SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE – as the heading says, a call for PROPER sterilisations; not botched jobs, illegal relocations or poisoning. The only way to reduce animal numbers in a reasonably short time is by STERILISATIONS, other methods as mentioned DO NOTHING TO CUT DOWN ANIMAL NUMBERS. Sterilisations DO. We have some experience on this issue.

Above – One of many who visit and are welcomed into my garden – Mark.

Last year we even had a cub who was bold enough to wander indoors – not to be encouraged, and he was lured back outside with a few nibbles !

Beautiful little guest though.
