Last month, Animal Rahat helped out this cat. A volunteer informed us that this stray cat’s head was stuck in a plastic jar, rendering him unable to eat or drink. An Animal Rahat team sped to the site. After gently removing the jar, we offered the cat food, which he immediately ate. We plan to return to the village to neuter him in the near future.

Other highlights from the past month include preventing six bullocks from being slaughtered by persuading their owners to allow them to live outside their huts in peace, rather than being sent to the butcher; persuading 21 owners to build sheds to protect their bullocks from the burning sun; holding eight village meetings to promote good welfare practices such as the importance of painting water tanks with lime to prevent parasites and using harnesses instead of nose ropes; and rescuing imperiled wildlife.
