RABIES-FREE INDIA: A VISION

REWARD OFFERED FORPROTECTING BIRD

Manipur: Manipur has announced cashrewards for the protection andconservation of its state bird Nongin,

also known as “Mrs Hume’s Pheasant.” Recently,the Manipur Government announced that itwould offer a cash reward of Rs 50,000 for a livepair (male-female) of Nongin. This is part of thestate’s efforts to find the bird as well as its habitatfor conservation.

Classified as “near threatened” becauseof recenti n f o r m a t i o nsuggesting the birdis resilient toexploitation andh a b i t a td e g r a d a t i o n ,Nongin is anextremely rarebird. “There is noexact officialrecord as to whenNongin was last sighted in Manipur. It’s anextremely rare bird,” A Kharshing, Manipur’sAdditional Chief Conservator of Forests(Wildlife)-cum-Chief Wildlife Warden, said.“There were reports recently that the locals inUkhrul District killed one or two Nongins.However, when we announced the cash rewards,the locals handed over a live Nongin to the ForestDepartment,” Kharshing said.

Prior to the latest sighting, Nongin hadbeen feared extinct in Manipur. The bird has beenkept in the zoo at Imphal. Buoyed by the successof the reward program, the state government nowmulls similar rewards for anyone who would findHoolock Gibbons, Burmeese Green Peafowl andSerow. (UNI)

ADOPT ANIMALS FROM HIGHWAY

Chennai:The SCAN FOUNDATION launched a program related toadoption of animals, especially those that are found on NationalHighways, to avoid their fatal accidents and death due to careless

driving of vehicles. The SCAN FOUNDATION has taken this issue veryseriously and is determined to sensitize the public through adoption programcalled ‘ADOPT A HIGHWAY’, which was launched recently in Chennai(from Uthandi  to  Kalpakkam on East Coast Road.

Probably, it may be the first program in the country organized bySCAN FOUNDATION to save homeless animals from accidents and animalsdying on the NATIONALHIGHWAYS. The programwas designed to be followedby Volunteers, Animal Loversand Staffs of SCANFOUNDATION on theirspecial memorable days likebirthdays and Weddinganniversaries and otherMemorable Occasions.

This program wasinaugurated by Shri SambathArumugam, renownedKollywood film director whowas the chief guest and ShriKarthik Rajkumar, ArtDirector participated asSpecial Guest on the occasion of Team Leader, Ms. Jannet Prabha’s birthday. 

Under the program, Volunteers and Animal Lovers of SCANFOUNDATION had treated animals suffering from Skin Diseases, Tumorproblems etc. The canine animals were given anti rabies vaccines and de-worming tablets along with food, feed and water. 

The foundation also distributed pamphlets about feeding homelessanimals, animal welfare laws and importance of adopting animals. Theydisplayed standup banners entitled “Feed and Protect homelessAnimals”, ”Animal Cruelty is a crime” and “Adopt a homeless pet”. Apartfrom this, they stick sticker on bumpers in vehicles and posters in shopsthrough this program. The Foundation offers counseling for common manabout how to live in harmony with animals and legal steps to catch offenderscommitting cruelties on animals found on the road. More than 60 volunteersaccompanied SCAN FOUNDATION during the program.

Authentic data pertaining to the population ofstray and pet dogs and human and animaldeaths due to rabies are not available with

Ministry of Agriculture (for animals) and Ministryof Health (for human death).The only published in-formation on which one can lay hands is from theNational Multicentre Rabies Survey, conducted in2004 by the Association for Prevent ion and Con-trol of Rabies in India (APCRI) in collaboration withthe World Health Organization. The WHO hasquoted a figure of 20565 human deaths from Indiadue to rabies per year. (Deshmukh RA. 2004).

The AWBI is also overseeing, and facili-tating the implementing the Central Sector Schemefor Animal Birth Control and anti rabies vaccina-tion for street dogs all over India with the help ofNGOs, AWOs, SPCAs and civic bodies. This schemeis also contributing towards prevention and con-trol of Rabies.

One may conclude that even though therabies is not a notifiable disease for Veterinary andPublic health departments but it is a serious prob-lem affecting the whole ecosystem human, animaland wildlife. The Animal Welfare Board of India,Ministry of Environment & Forest, Govt. of India hasa very important role to play in capacity building,awareness generation and training of Vets /Paravets / Dog Catchers for effective implementa-tion of the Animal Birth Control Programme andmotivating State Dept. of Animal Husbandry, urbanand rural authorities in humane mass vaccinationof dogs.

WHO has stressed that only mass sus-tained rabies immunization of stray and pet dogscan control the disease in dogs and human beings.As per the WHO Expert Consultation on Rabies[WHO Technical Report Series; 931], 70% ofcountry’s dog population needs to be immunizedto create herd immunity and to break the chain oftransmission of rabies virus. The effectiveness oflarge scale immunization of dogs to control humanRabies is authenticated by the fact that incidenceof human rabies has considerably declined conse-quent to successful implementation of Animal Wel-fare Board of India’s Animal Birth Control / AntiRabies (ABC/AR) programme in several metros suchas Chennai, Jaipur, Kalimpong, Gangtok, Delhi andBangalore. Chennai, Jaipur and Kalimpong are nowzero rabies cities. In fact, Latin America has seen asignificant reduction in human rabies deaths in thelast two decades consequent to mass immuniza-tion of Stray and Pet dogs.

Current Scenario regarding Rabies andStray Dog Population Control are- The burden ofRabies on India, Role of Animal Welfare Board ofIndia, WHO guidelines on Rabies and Dog Popula-tion Control, Participatory stray dogs sterilizationprogramme, Man-Dog Conflict, The Challenges forrabies, Lack of Realistic F inancial outlay, Limitedinfrastructure of NGOs, of Training facilities andskilled manpower, Lack of Authentic data, Rabiesstill not in list of Notifiable Diseases, Lack of dataon Epidemiology of Rabies in India, Lack of Interde-partmental Synergy, Limited Diagnostic facilities /centres, Vision Rabies Free India and Options in cur-rent scenario.

The ABC/AR programme does indeedwork and is the only rational and humane solutionto address Rabies and populat ion of stray dogs.However, active participation of stakeholders areessential for the successful implementation of theRabies eradication programme and stray dogs’steril izat ion programme. Unless we are able tocarry out mass immunization of the Pet / Stray dogsagainst rabies, and also their mass sterilization inan intensive manner, human beings and animalsin India may continue to suffer from this dreadeddisease. Modern tissue-culture anti-rabies humanvaccines, which are currently administered intra-muscularly, must be made more widely and easilyaccessible. Efforts are needed to lower the prohibi-tive costs of post exposure vaccination by introduc-ing and popularizing the intra-dermal route of ra-bies vaccination, which requires just one-tenth ofthe intramuscular dose.

The facilities for the surveillance and di-agnosis of animal rabies must be improved in qual-ity and offer wider coverage and rabies must bemade a mandatory reportable disease. Maj. Gen. (Retd.) Dr. R. M. Kharab, AVSM, Chairman, AWBI

MOEF PROPOSES NEW LAW TO PROTECTANIMALS

New Delhi: In order to checkanimal abuse in thecountry, the environment

ministry has called for higherpenalties for crueltyagainst animals inits proposed draftAnimal WelfareAct, 2011.

The ministry cameout with a draft ofthe legislation andinvited commentsby March 20. TheAnimal WelfareAct, 2011, whenpassed, will replacethe existing Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals Act, 1960, and will providefor clearer definitions of animalabuse and enhanced penalties.

The salient features also includeaugmenting animal welfare andwell-being and strengthening animalwelfare organisations.

'This law intends to modify theapproach of our authorities indealing with animalprotection by moving from a

d e f e n s i v eposition to ap o s i t i v e ,welfare andw e l l - b e i n go r i e n t e da p p r o a c hthrough thedraft AnimalWelfare Act,2011,' a ministrystatement said.

According to theministry, India was one of the firstcountries to enact a law on thesubject of animal cruelty throughthe Prevention of Cruelty to AnimalsAct, 1960.

'However, over the last few decades,there has been increasing concernthat the legislation has not been as

successful as its authors intended.This apparent lack of success can be

attributed to the provision ofrelatively weak penalties forviolation in addition to an absenceof proactive and preemptivemeasures for the prevention ofanimal cruelty,' it said.

India has one of the mostcomprehensive laws on the subjectof wildlife protection butunfortunately domesticated animalsdo not enjoy specific protectionsunder it, it said. (INAS)

THE RELEVANCE TO SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT

YOUNG GIRLINTRODUCES

ANIMAL WELFAREBy Helen Mahtari

Pune: We held the animalwelfare week at Googleoffice from the 28th of

February to the 4th of March. Imust have gotten four hours ofsleep throughout this week butit was absolutely and totallyworth the effort. The aim of theevent was not to make people govegetarian or vegan or toimpose any strong beliefs thatwe might have on them. We justwanted people to know what ishappening around us, know thepower of their choices andmainly to just start talking aboutanimal-related issues. It isimportant to at least begin tobelieve that they need to berepresented. In the process, wewished to make ourselves awareby conducting extensiveresearch and going deeper intothe topics that we wereintroduced to.

My friends and I left nostone unturned to promote thisevent at office. We had posterson every person’s desk (all fromold paper), “Did you know?”facts behind every bathroomdoor, flexes on every floor andlunch hour movies and stallspromoting the event. We wereexpecting about 30-50 people forall the events but we had 200-plus Googlers join in and it wasthe most amazing week ever!

I am so happy about thisevent. The whole week we hadpeople debating on every table,talking about issues, stoppingme in hallways and lifts and itwas the perfect way tointroduce people to this issue.

The Republic of Seychelles, theSwedish Government and theWorld Society for the Protection

of Animals (WSPA) at the UnitedNations organised an event on the8th October 2010, to brief the G77nations on animal welfare and itsrelevance to sustainabledevelopment.

Among the eminent speakerswho presided over this briefing wereMs. Margareta Wahlstrom, Asst.Secretary General at InternationalStrategy on Disaster Risk Reduction(ISDR); Dr. Augustine Mahiga,Ambassador Extraordinary andPlenipotentiary, Permanent Missionof the United Republic of Tanzania;Mr. Jamie Perez, National ProjectsOfficer, FAO, Columbia; Shri Vinod S.Kapur, Founder and Chairman ofKeggfarms, India and Mr. MichaelBaker, Director General, WorldSociety for the Protection of Animals(WSPA). The briefing was wellattended by over one hundred seniorrepresentatives of the G77 Nations.

This briefing was linked to thespecific task of agreeing on the textto be included in the Agenda 21Resolution on sustainabledevelopment with special bearingon:-

Environmental andAgricultural Sustainability -responsible animal managementaffects land use, climate change,pollution, water supplies, habitatconservation and bio diversity for thebetter.

Human health – good animal carereduces the risk of diseasestransmissible to humans and of foodpoisoning. The human animal bondalso has therapeutic benefits.

Poverty and Hunger Reduction –looking after animals properlyimproves their productivity and helpsfarmers to provide more food forthemselves, their families and thecommunity.

Disaster preparedness and riskreduction – animals are importantfor people’s lives and livelihoods andmust be given due consideration inplans for disaster preparedness andresponse. Any community thatsurvives a disaster can face a second,delayed blow when their perishedlivestock is not replaced as ameasure to mitigate losses.

The importance ofresponsible animal management wasiterated by all the speakers. ShriVinod Kapur of KeggFarms presenteda number of case studies sharing therealities of his poultry-basedsuccessful business enterprise. Heshared that the intertwining of thevalues of animal welfare with abusiness model led to the poverty andhunger reduction among theunderprivileged rural poor, especiallythe women.

Shri Kapoor shared hisexperiences on the sustainablepoultry management practicesfollowed by over one millioneconomically challenged homes in

the state of West Bengal,Uttaranchal, Orissa, Assam andManipur in India. He shared that theconcept of animal welfare for thewell-being of humans was not merelyan abstract idea, but can be aflourishing ground reality.

Shri Kapoor’s presentationwas well received by all the membernations of G77 most of whomexpressed their willingness toreplicate this Good Practice. TheRepublic of Uganda has already takenthe lead to introduce a Kuroiler basedprogram for poverty alleviation andwomen empowerment with thecollaboration of Keggfarms.

The proposed text for insertion intothe Agenda 21 Resolution in SecondCommittee on SustainableDevelopment reads as follows:-

“Preamble: Recognising that manyeconomies and hundreds of millionsof people, in particular the poordepend on animals for food, a livingand social status and that animalwelfare promotes food security,poverty and disease reduction andenvironmental protection.

Operative: Encourages memberstates, the UN system and civilsociety to share and develop bestpractices related to animal welfare,as a component of development,environment and disaster reductionactivities towards sustainabledevelopment.”(Courtesy: Human SocietyInternational)

AN INSPIRING STORY ONANIMAL RESCUE

Mumbai: Recently a couple ofphone calls received fromSPCA, Thane about the sad

plight of three Persian cats and a fewbirds inside a very dirty cage in thefabrication workshop. To find the mainentrance into the shop, whereapproximately ten workers werelabouring in filthy conditions.

Investigations led to a shockingdiscovery! At the very rear end of theworkshop, the owner had fabricatedcages, two of which housed turkeys,Indian hens, pheasants and geese – allin a 200 sqare foot enclosure. The cageswere devoid of a single drop of water ormorsel of food for the hapless animals.

The three cats were locked up ina pitifully small cage, without anysunlight or any other source of light forthat matter. However, volunteers foundthree large Star Tortoises in a cage, hadto have them picked up immediately.Their legs were stretching unnaturally onall sides on account of walking on thetiled floor. There were some lady’s-

fingers strewn around for the reptiles toeat, but not a single bowl of water.

Further on, near the entrance,was a 4x7 dungeon-like enclosure witharound 15 goats tied to the charactertisticminiscule ropes that are found on cattleso often. The area was so small that thegoats were literally sitting one on top ofthe other! Apart from the goats, severalpigeons were also found and what couldhave been either cockatiels orbudgerigars.

The place stank due to theovercrowding and the wet floors and lackof sunlight didn’t found ease the situationat all. Some volunteers went to theVersova Police Station to lodge acomplaint.

The police were co-operative andspoke with the Chief Conservator ofForests who confirmed that the reptileswere indeed Star Tortoises and Scheduledanimals under Wildlife Protection Act1972 and began the panchanama on thespot. The owners arrived in the midst of

the investigation and were visibly ruffledand unhappy with us for interfering intheir affairs. However, the policeinvestigation had already begun andthere was no way for them to changeanything in any way.

The Star Tortoises were packedup and removed from the premises andbrought back to the police station. Theowners meanwhile were detained, whilewe completed lodging the FIR. The onehappy twist to this story was that theChief Conservator of Forests and thepolice inspector handling the case,turned out to be long lost friends fromthe IPS era and were reunited with muchthrill on both sides!

The owner of the place wasproduced in court and remanded tocustody in jail. He is now probablylanguishing in Arthur Jail now. Thecourt will decide about the fate of theother animals. The judgment is expectedto be in their favour – God willing! Oranother NC to be lodged and have thecourt orders them to be picked up.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING CENTERESTABLISHED: A REPORT

The first InternationalTraining Center (ITC)Animal Birth Control

surgery course was held as a trialcourse in where protocols forfurther training programs weredesigned and course materialsprepared. Three veterinarians andtwo assistants attended this 10-daycourse in October 2010. The courseincluded theory lessons related tothe ABC–projects, sound surgicalprinciples and responsible use ofantibiotics as well as somerecommended practices for clinicalprotocols most commonly seen incharity veterinary practices inIndia.

63 animals were sterilisedduring the practical sessions of thecourse. This included 56 dogs andseven cats. In addition to theroutine spay/neuter surgeries,three emergency cases wereattended; one dog with a brokenleg and two cattle cases. The othercattle case was a buffalo with aprolonged dystocia due to partialuterine torsio and a dead calf; ITC

team decided to performcaesarian section to save the lifeof the cow. The operation wassuccessful and a usefuldemonstration of a life-savingsurgical procedure that everypracticing veterinarian should beable to perform in time.

The teaching teamincluded Dr. Ilona Otter, theclinical director of ITC, Dr. Devi,the assistant veterinarian of ITC,Dr. Dagmar a volunteerveterinarian from WorldwideVeterinary Services (WVS), UKand “Ali,” a volunteer veterinarynurse from WVS (UK). Thefeedback from the participantswas very good and we arelooking forward in arranging thenext training course. Theobjective of the WVSInternational Training Center is toprovide practically-focused,continuous professionaldevelopment courses toveterinarians, animal handlers,veterinary assistants and ABC/AR project managers in India.

Initially the focus is intraining personnel to work in andrun effective ABC/ARV programsthat aim to make a significantchange in the dog population aswell as reducing the human rabiesincidence. The ITC aims todevelop further to providetraining in topics covering otheranimal species and other topics aswell, for example working equinehealth and welfare, wild animalhealth and welfare, sheltermanagement and best practices infeline veterinary medicine.

WVS ITC aims tocoordinate an India NationalRabies Network by workingtogether with the AWBI, stategovernments, Animal HusbandryDepartment, animal welfareorganisations, local governmentbodies, primary health carecenters and village panchayats toreduce human rabies deaths by5%. This means, effectively, thatwe will be saving a life of a childunder the age of 15 years, everyday. Join the initiative and email

Dr. Ilona at ITC to get 2 milliondogs vaccinated by 2013. The ITCwebsite http://www.wvsitc.com/ is going tocount the number of dogsvaccinated under this project sothat anyone can check the progressand success of the project.

The amount of moneypeople spent every year in Indiafor human post- exposurevaccinations is enough tovaccinate 30 million dogs againstrabies every year. And wheneffectively done, this wouldprevent the deaths of over 20,000people who now die of rabiesevery year.
