| SPAY NEUTER PROGRAMME IN KUTCH |
In association with the Kachchh Forest Department, TCF has successfully undertaken a programme of spay-neuter surgery and anti-rabies vaccination for more than 200 dogs in the core area of the distribution range of the Great Indian Bustard (GIB). Dogs pose a serious threat to the GIB and other wild animals, and controlling their population in and around wilderness areas is a crucial measure to ensure the protection of our fragile wildlife. The dogs were treated by veterinarians and kept under supervision for 24 hours, before and after surgery, to ensure their speedy recovery, and released back into their respective villages after treatment.
