Скачать или смотреть Veterinary Internship in India - Global Nomadic

Aspiring and practising vets or simply dog-lovers are invited to Kochi, a major city in the western Indian state of Kerala, on the Arabian Sea. Here you will have the opportunity to work with stray dog populations who suffer ill health, poor treatment and are often killed.

People often assume that street dogs live mostly happy lives, playing with fellow pack members and sleeping in the midday sun. Yet there are a number of problems associated with street life. Simple bite wounds easily become infected, fractures caused by traffic accidents heal incorrectly and lead to deformity, and diseases become fatal without the proper vaccination. And when strays are killed or forcibly removed from an area, new dogs arrive and the population becomes unstable and aggressive.

The organisation you will be working with aims to stabilise and decrease the stray dog population through sterilisation, which will keep the population largely non-aggressive. You can help perform their successful and humane scheme of sterilisation and inoculation which includes creating a nick in the area to show that the animal is safe.

While It is illegal to kill a stray animal in India, bribery and legal loopholes have allowed this cruel activity to remain commonplace, particularly in the state of Kerala. You can help the organisation educate residents on stray and wild animal awareness issues through speaking at local schools and clubs. GlobalNomadic.com
