Animal Story: Nilgai- From Sector 16 Filmcity Noida

The Nilgai- she came to us from Sector 16 film city. She lost her calf in an accident and fractured her right fore leg there- animal coming in conflict with the intruding humanity. Nilgais have lived on the banks of the Yamuna for aeons and die regularly as they get entangled in the fast moving traffic of Noida and Greater Noida expressway. Dr. Narkhede scrounged for antibiotics and anesthesia, which are in short supply with NOIDA authority babus squeezing hard the lifeline of funds and eventually managed to get some to successfully perform an amputation. For all his efforts he got a kick from the Nilgai, while tending to it, which nearly broke his skull! With a daily struggle on for medicines, lack of antibiotics may make it difficult for the creature to recover.

Animal Story: Barky

Barky: The dog story of SPCA Noida starts with this dog. Abandoned in the lanes of Sector 30, Noida and carrying a maggot wound on its neck with no expertise to stave off other dogs and survive the mean streets. SPCA had just got its lands in 2002 and construction had just started. Mr. Jaswant Singh Chauhan, who is the current administrator and father figure at the SPCA, was leading the construction activities then, took an instant liking to Barky. SPCA became his abode as the construction workers took his responsibility. At that time there was no road leading to the SPCA gates and one had to go along the bund road at the back of the SPCA- no electricity and seemed far away from civilization. Barky easily claimed his kingdom, and learn to co-exist with snakes, lizards and the undergrowth and lack of competition of the canine kind. When construction stopped at the SPCA and the family of construction workers looking after him moved to the “Antim Niwas” cremation grounds, he went and lived there with them and left memories there as well. Then he came back with Vinod- who decided to kick his life as a mason in favour of animals and Rani, his wife, decided to take up cooking for animals, at the SPCA. And he has been here ever since. Nine long years of lots of adventure and proud owner of tag no. 0001.

This story came to an end on 22 Oct 2011. Barky passed away peacefully at the place, which was 'founded' by him. SPCA Noida lost its first citizen. There will be no more distinctive howls for attention when I go there. We all wish him eternal freedom and happiness.

Adoptions

Puppy adoption programme: You can adopt mixed breed/stray puppies so that every dog on the street may eventually find a home. You can see some of the candidates who await a warm and loving home. SPCA, Noida recommends adoption of stray/ mixed breed pups as they are healthier, live longer than breed dogs and are well adapted to the environment of our country.

If interested, please write to animals.noida@gmail.com or contact Mrs. Shampa Dasgupta, who works extensively in this area, as a committed volunteer, for getting pups at SPCA adopted by caring families. Contactable at: +91-9811233956. email:sdgsdg00@yahoo.com.

Plans for Animal Birth Control

Vision

To establish healthy animal-human conditions in Noida by controlling birth of animals (dogs) and immunisation

Goal and Objective

- Sterilisation of all dogs- male and female

- Immunisation of all dogs against rabies

- Deworming

- Continuous surveillance and “mopping up” activities

Today’s Situation

- Around 100 populated Residential and industrial sectors

- On an average 30 dogs per sector

- sterilisation /immunisation program in place but lacking consistent funding

- Individual and limited efforts to sterilise and immunise dogs in Sectors 30/29/ 15A/39

Proposed Action Plan

- Sector wise activities

- Sequence:

o Mapping: To pinpoint dog identity, location, pick-up, relocation and continuous monitoring. Dedicated Animal welfare workers will work as mappers and RWA, Security guards to be involved to locate and catch dogs

o Picking: Dog pick-up employing scientific and humane methods by workers trained in use of nets/ Rope-and-sack/ tranquiliser

o Immunisation and Deworming

o Sterilisation: By flank method to facilitate early release

o Release: In the same area as pickup with assistance of mappers

- Each sector to be covered in 9-15 days

- Combined with acting upon emergency situations in uncovered sectors
