I recently traveled to Nepal for my summer holiday and it was an amazing trip. I learned so much about the culture, clothing, beliefs and the food. But there is one subject that has drawn my attention. Although many people might find this normal it certainly is injustice to me. Everywhere I go I see these poor street animals that are in a terrible state.

KATHMANDU, June 24: Sneha’s Care, an animal welfare organization,  has launched a campaign to feed hungry street animals such as dogs, cows, monkeys and birds since the first day of the lockdown enforced by the government to contain the spread of COVID-19 in April end.

“I tested negative after 16 days of isolation and treatment. On day 17, I was on the road feeding dogs.”

We all love having pets at home. Be it dogs, cats or, if you are brave enough, even snakes, pets add a dose of happiness to our lives. However, when it comes to animals out on the streets, most of us are pretty indifferent and some are even, at times, downright cruel to them. But once in a while, people are willing to consider that the lives of these animals are just as important as their own.
