According to a survey on 'Pet
Homelessness' in nine countries by Mars Pet care, India, India has 80 million
homeless dogs, cats. With reference to this issue, the Tails Of Forgotten : an awareness campaign
was initiated. The campaign with the motto of “Selfless For The Helpless”, aims
to raise awareness about the plight of stray animals in India. It was initiated
by the Rotaract Club Of Delhi Elite (RID 3011) in collaboration with Strays Of
Delhi.
Strays of Delhi is an initiative
started in 2018 by Ms. Rakshita Singh, to make the life better for stray
animals, not just dogs but cats, cows, birds and other animals too. Strays of
Delhi is involved in doing rescues, getting the indie kids adopted and feeding
stray animals.
The campaign was divided in three
phases: Phase I Pawcall , Phase II Pawsibble & Phase III Strayscue. Phase I
(26th of January 2022) was a webinar with Ms. Rakshita Singh. She told
us about ways we could rescue strays near us, informed us of some healthy alternatives
we could feed stray dogs, like paneer, chapatti etc.
On asked if she ever faced criticism
and how she dealt with it, she said that there were times when she wanted to
take a break, but she overcame all that as she was reminded of the cause and of
all the lives she was improving.
Ms. Rakshita requested all participants
to contribute to the fundraiser i.e Phase II Pawsibble (26th Janaury
2022- 14th February 2022).
All
participants and contributors were given participation certificates.
