[Free Report] Stray Animal Welfare during COVID-19 lock down period |

The problem of stray dogs in South Asia and developing countries like Nepal, India, Pakistan is one of the major problems in animal welfare. For example: About 35 million stray dogs are estimated in India[1].
The prolonged lock down applied to control COVID-19 is causing problems not only to humans but even animals and birds. Even after people are inside the house, the street animals have not had a chance to eat in many cities of Nepal. Today, we think of a human being who cannot work and eat tomorrow because of lock down, but who cannot earn, cannot ask for food, is hungry, thirsty, cannot speak even when sick, has to think about that living creature, so being the most intellectual creature in the world, It is responsibility of all of us to be wise and care for such creatures. As we all know, there are mainly five basic principles of animal welfare. They are as follows[4]: Freedom from hunger and thirst Freedom from discomfort Freedom from pain, injury, or disease Freedom to express normal behavior Freedom from fear and distress Freedom from hunger and thirst is one of the privilege for the animals.we cannot feed the animals according to their species, age, sex or type of nutrients during this self lock down situation, but at least we can keep some waters or left over foods outside our home/at the roof or anywhere so that animals can consume in need. To date, it has not been proven that domestic animals transmit corona virus to humans. On the contrary, there is some news that humans have transmitted the disease to dogs and tiger[2,3]. That's why it's important to feed stray animals and community birds with all the necessary precautions before and after feeding stray animals. Safety is better than sorry. So safety of human and animal is always essential. Feeding the strays at the right time and right place makes the best sense during this pandemic. In Nepal, some animal right and animal welfare organizations and youths have been volunteering to feed street dogs on a regular basis. Sneha's Care, which has been in the field of animal rights and welfare since 2014, has been working to feed street dogs, cats, cows, and monkeys[5,6]. Similarly, in many places in Nepal and India, many associations and individuals have played a major responsibility to protect animals. Stray Animal management has always been a problem, not just during this lock down period. I would like to honor all the helping hands that have provided food and love to street animals from anywhere. Since it is not possible to work with limited organizations and people everywhere, I have a heartfelt request to everyone for the love of animals. But human safety, and the welfare of animals always comes first. #staysafe #stayhealthy #feedtheanimals photo source: facebook.com/snehazcare/ |

Hi Bal krishna Pandey, this is a mentor Sang Su Lee.
I have a slightly different opinion from yours. I totally agree that we, humans, should never harm the animals in any means. However, I do not perfectly agree that humans should provide shelters and foods for animals. I guess these are from different perspectives. Those people who are in favor of animal welfare might insist that humans destroyed a lot of animal habitats, and therefore, we need to care them. I agree in this part. However, I don't think its our duties to make them alive and live well.
Thank you for your interesting article.

Hello Bal krishna Pandey, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for a report about a new perspective with COVID-19! Actually, when disaster comes, we think that human is the only victims in this disaster, but as you said, animals and other species can also harm with this disaster directly or indirectly. For example, after the nuclear plant accident in Japan, left dominant animals died or get ill because of the lack of food and management. So, we have to think other ways in all circumstances, even if it will be hard!
Thank you for a report!
Green cheers!
