IT’S ALL YOUR SUCCESS!

NAWRC have been working in Kavrepalanchok District of Nepal. Our present concentration is in Street Dogs Population Management by Birth Control Program. Its called Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Monitor-Release (CNVMR) Program. Street dogs are sterilized, vaccinated Anti-Rabies Vaccines and given required Medical treatments.

In our previous survey, we counted 559 street dogs, 260 females and 299 males. We neutered 420 street dogs and repeat the survey. Second survey shows 713 street dogs in Banepa municipality.

Kavrepalanchok district is the Epicenter of earthquake in 2015 NepalQuake and there were more damages. Still tremors are frequent and street dogs are scattered everywhere. They keep migrating from different places. Matting seasons started now.

We observed 18 male dogs following 1 female dog. Its panic and traumatic sight we share about. We need to neuter 384 street dogs again.

We are working isolated in remotes, with no easy access to market area, electricity and internet keeps interrupted, no own infrastructures, no shelter, no resources and no regular funding sources.

Government have no funds to support animals and local peoples can’t support due to low incomes. We completely depends on international supports only!

600 Street dogs neutered and vaccinated in 80 working days. Researches published shows un spayed female dog and her generations will produce 67,000 more street dogs in our community.

From our surveys, we found 8 street dogs per 100 human population. It makes 20,000 street dogs in this district, who are never vaccinated and medically cared. WHO listed Nepal as the Highly risky nation in Rabies since last 15 years. Nobody knows how many die unknowingly from Rabies in Nepal. No UNICEF, no UNO, no Save The Children, no Red Cross, no Rotary, no Amnesty etc works or supported Rabies Control till date. More than 2,00,000 school children and youths are living in darkness about Rabies in this district.

We work for Development of Animal Welfare in Nepal as they don’t have their own Voice for themselves. We need to take responsibility to be their voices. They need us because we are for them, not just our self.

Your Support will Enable us to Support Them!

LET’S MAKE THE DIFFERENCES TOGETHER! LET’S MAKE THE WORLD BETTER TOGETHER!
LET’S BE A PART OF THEIR LIFE TOGETHER!
LET’S GIVE A CHANCE FOR MAKING THIS WORLD BETTER!
LET’S BE THEIR VOICES TOGETHER!

After weeks of diplomatic work and petitions we finally reach the first step of this project. The dog won’t be killed, and CNVR campaign will start soon! Now we are looking for supporters!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

AVUK, Food and Veterinary Agency Kosovo, has prepared a regulation for animal shelters that orders euthanasia for dogs without owners (abandoned animals and stray dogs) within 30 days after being brought into a shelter, if there will not be a new adopter. Article 9 /6 says the minimum period for adoption of sterilized animals is 30 days after their stay in the shelter. After this period the shelter may euthanise the dog – regulation Article 10 /1.3. When animals have passed the minimum time period required for adoption the rules of Euthanasia can be applied.

In the whole regulation the option of release as requires the CNVR Program is missing! It will be no longer possible to release stray dogs to their territory.

This Regulation will enter into force seven days after signature by the Prime Minister!

AVUK is the responsible Administration for Animal “Welfare” in Kosovo.

KOSOVO ANIMAL WELFARE FRAMEWORK

We are convinced that along with a continuous CNVR program education of children at all ages must take place to create change in behaviour of citizens. We agree also, that without a law regulation concerning responsible dog owner ship this country cannot control the stray dog population. CNVR alone brings forth change, because it stops reproduction and treated dogs stay longer healthy. But if the government would support CNVR and additionally would start education programs for children and information campaigns for citizens, registration of each owned dog – this country would go the correct way considering animal welfare! Kosovo is 4 times smaller than Switzerland, it has 1,9 Mio Citizens, and a very big expat community that is used to live in countries with correct animal rights and animal protection and No stray dogs! Kosovo can attract tourists and economic investments if they can deal with garbage and in a humane way with stray dogs.

Many European tourist will not visit Kosovo knowing about death camps, which the shelters will be euthanising dogs after 30 days!

CNR Campaign – THE MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGY FOR STRAY DOG CONTROL

Widespread adoption of CNVR (Capture, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return/Release) programs for dogs, along with changes in human behaviour and environment, offers a sustainable remedy for both disease and animal welfare problems posed by free-roaming dogs in developing countries.

CNVR programs directly confront the problem of high turnover of dog populations, which mitigates against extensive rabies vaccination coverage and dog population control. CNVR programs have as their goal the reduction—not elimination— of street dog populations and the control of rabies and other diseases transmission. 

Many countries choose to adopt, as solution for the straydogs issue, massive killing campaigns, by shooting or poisoning or euthanising the dogs. This strategy, unfortunately, is not useful:

1. Massive killings of dogs is a really expensive operation, in fact the Government has to pay for weapons’ munitions, narcotics, veterinarians and officers to perform the operation, collection  and discharge of dead animals, whereas CNVR Campaigns are much less expensive and long lasting. Furthermore they are often performed by Animal Welfare Associations with the support of many volunteers.

2. Massive killing of dogs is not a long lasting solution, in fact, it’s not possible to kill ALL the dogs in the country, therefore there will be new puppies, new straydogs and in a couple of months the situation will be exactly the same as before and the straydog issue won’t be solved. Whereas with the CNR approach, the straydog population will stop growing and will be controlled along the years.

3. Massive killings/euthanasia of dogs is a very cruel practice, shows no respect for animals, for the environment, for the living beings and the creatures of the Earth. Which message will pass to the children and future generations if instead of showing compassion and empathy to all human and animals, we show violence and no regrets for such a brutal action? If there is a better solution and the possibility to save innocent lives, why choose to kill them and to use the violence?

RESPECT FOR INNOCENT ANIMALS IS A SIGN OF CIVILIZATION, WHICH ACCORDS WITH MODERN SOCIETIES AND IT IS A BROAD MESSAGE OF PEACE.

OIPA and STRAYCOCO support CNVR Campaigns and are asking with this appeal to the Prime Minister of KOSOVO, ISA MUSTAFA, to not sign the AVUK Regulation mentioned above.
