Conditions at the dog pound:chudi bazar
A visit to the dog pound can leave u with a extremely bitter experince which keeps lingering in your mind long after you leave that place.It was a horrible experience.The images of the suffering dogs keep moving before your eyes.Dogs suffering silently.The pain,the agony,the tearful questioning eyes start haunting you.they say mankind but how kind are we actually??The dog pound is an example of how evil man can be.humanity?compassion?love?mercy??Are they still existent in this world.They say a dog is a man's best friend,yes dog is a man's best friend,and yes truth is man can be the worst enemy for a dog.Its not man "can be" the worst enemy.Man "is" the worst enemy for dogs.Stray dogs are brought to the pound for vaccination and to perform the ABC,post operative care and subsequent release.Which is not the exact story here.The conditions at the dog pound are pathetic.The dogs are loaded into the cages in the trucks from the streets and they are brought to the dog pound.During unloading dogs are dragged out of the truck literally.Dogs are not treated like they are breathing living creatures,they are considered as non living objects.A rope(looplike) tied to a stick is used to handle the dogs (according to rules a net has to be used).The dogs are handled by the employees working there.They simply drag the dogs by tightening the nooze around the dogs neck.Dogs gasp for air.Blood oozing from the nose,mouth,fractured legs,injuries to the neck,eyes,everything is a common thing there.The dogs are dragged into the enclosures or cages as they call it,but i call them death traps.Dog pound is a hell on earth for the dogs which are brought there.Dogs are dumped into the enclosures and each one contains more than 20-30 dogs.The Dogs struggle for their life.There is no space even to stand as the cages are overcrowed.Initially the aggressive strong ones dominate,fight for space,they bite the weaker ones.Slowly there is not much of any fighting between the dogs,because the dog's survival itself becomes a big thing.The dogs cannot sleep,no space.They are cramped.There is no water provided,there is no food.The food or water bowls cant be seen anywhere in the pound.Even if there are bowls there is no space for placing the bowls in the cages.Only a few bowls can be seen,only when there are any visitors to the pound.Skin diseased dogs,pregnant dogs,whelping mothers with little pups(many are just few days old and some havent opened their eyes yet),aggressive ones,puppies,terminally ill sick ones are all dumped into the same cages.I dont know in what state of mind but sometimes they show little mercy and they put whelping mothers,pups in seperate cages.Many Dogs and pups die in the cages.A whelping mother was seen licking her death pups which were few months old.Few cages contained the half eaten bodies of pups.The dogs dont bark because they dont have the energy to even bark.Dogs dying in the cages is a common thing there.The dead dogs are not removed from the cages,the bodies start decaying,We had to personally insist them to remove the partially degraded bodies of the dogs,which they did after a lot of pestering from our side.No water,no food,even if they are provided with food,the dogs are not in a state to eat.There is filth and feaces everywhere in the cages and in the pound.And there is this unbearable smell(feaces,dead decayed dogs do their part).Dogs suffer psychologically and physically.Dogs are seen biting the cages out of frustration,many dogs are seen stucking their heads out of the cages just for some air to breath.After few days the dogs die out of dehydration,suffocation,lack of food and other factors.Few dogs are operated and their ears are clipped.The post operative care is worst.The operated dogs die of infections.Few of the operated dogs are released on the same day or the next day after the operation.Its like gifting them a slow death due to different infections.The operated stray dog has no energy to move about and find food,they die slowly.We are showing them hell right here on the earth.Its like literally the dogs are tortured to death.Usually only about 20 dogs can be operated per day and they need complete post operative care for recovery.Question is why so many dogs are brought to the pound?When there is no possibility of those dogs being operated.No registers are maintained regarding the areas from where the dogs are brought in and the areas the dogs are released into,number of operated dogs etc.Stray dogs are territorial animals and the area where they are being released is very important,its important that the dogs are released in the same area from where they are brought,which is not followed.Many dogs with clipped ears are again brought to the pound,just to make up false records.Pregnant animals are brought to the pound and they are operated.The number of dogs in the cages was always low when we counted on the next day and many dogs were missing and new ones where seen in their places.Apart from the dogs which are dying in the cages,pups and dogs where being killed early in the morning between 4.00 am - 5.30 am by giving them poison injections.Even completely healthy ones are being euthanised.About 100-150 dogs die at the pound daily(ones which die out of dehydration,starvation,diseases and ones which are being euthanised).The dead dogs are being dumped at kesaragutta near hyderabad.The dogs which are being euthanised are lucky compared to the ones which die in the cages due to dehydration and stravation.The pitiable conditions at the dog pound and the killing of the stray dogs was brought to the notice of many higher authorities and animal welfare organizations working in hyderabad.No action was taken and the response was cold.In an effort to gather some kind of evidence,when pictures were being taken,they threatened us which was natural because they were not functioning properly.The funding for the animal birth control program is used to satisfy and fill the bank accounts of the officials.And the ngo's get their fair share too.They grow richer by each day and the animals keep suffering and dying.Its blood money literally yet the officials(the Chief veterinary officer,municipal commisioner,the vets who are supposed to carry out the ABC program,The dog pound incharge,workers at the pound) are all very happy people.And the animal welfare organisations in hyderabad dont care and they are totally blind to the suffering of the stray dogs.When is this bloody affair going to END????
