KATHMANDU, July 18: More than 500 animals affected by flooding in Rautahat, Bara, and Saptari districts have been rescued and vaccinated against the possible epidemic.
The Sneha's Care, an animal care center, and the Nepal Veterinary Association jointly took an effort in this regard. Only humans are taken care of in times of disasters, but animals are left neglected, said Sneha Shrestha, chairperson of the Care, adding that they took this initiative by reaching out for them in various districts.
