Dogs See the Night: Radium Collars Save Strays
4 Jul
Summary
- Campaign to fit radium collars to stray dogs in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
- Collars increase dog visibility at night, reducing accident risks.
- Citizens can donate Rs300 to save voiceless animals' lives.
An initiative is underway in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to enhance the safety of stray dogs by fitting them with radium collars. This campaign, spearheaded by the Aurangabad Pet Lovers Association (APLA), has already provided these reflective collars to 200 dogs. The primary objective is to equip a minimum of 5,000 stray animals with these collars.
The radium collars are designed to reflect headlight beams, making the dogs visible from a distance during nighttime hours. This increased visibility significantly reduces the risk of accidents involving the animals. Furthermore, the campaign emphasizes that these collars contribute to the safety of drivers and pedestrians as well.
APLA founder, Berryl Sanchis, has appealed to the public for support, highlighting that a donation of just Rs300 can enable the saving of ten voiceless animals. The association is actively working to reach underserved areas where stray dogs often lack assistance. The campaign aims to empower animal lovers who wish to contribute but face financial limitations.
