Cows are the primary source of milk that we consume daily. Many people in India earn their living by selling cow’s milk. But when these cows stop producing or get injured or diseased, their heartless owners abandoned them quickly. Our city roads are filled with speeding vehicles. With the rapid urbanization, we are losing the grasslands every day and natural food sources. All vacant lands are getting converted to high-rises, business centres, shopping malls, etc. No doubt, humans are progressing, but we are forgetting these free-roaming poor innocent animals who already lost their natural habitat due to our greed. These starving free-roaming cattle often come on the road or gather near the city garbage dump, searching for food and becoming victims of human cruelty or road accidents.
In February, we have received ‘Lakshmi’ in our hospital. Her owner abandoned her when she met with an accident and injured her left eye severely. The owner did not even care to take her to a vet for her treatment and left her on the road. Due to the negligence, Lakshmi developed a nasty maggot wound and eventually lost her left eye. When Hitesh (name changed) and his team rescued and brought her to our facility, our team was shocked to see her wound and her strength to fight with the pain. We immediately started her treatment by flushing the injury, followed by medication.
With proper treatment, medication, nutrition, love, and care, Lakshmi started showing improvement in no time. Finally, the day had come when we shifted Lakshmi to her forever home, where she is recovering from her physical scars and her mental scar.
Jivdaya Charitable Trust requests you all pet owners never abandon your pets, because, for them we are their only family. We never leave our family members when they get sick or injured; instead, we take care of them till they recover from the pain. We need to understand that our pets are also a part of our family, and we need to take care of them.
Thank you for your support, which helps us take care of these brave souls like ‘Lakshmi’ and many more with the utmost care, treatment, and nutrition.
