Awaara Nahi, Humara Hai: Community Dog Advocacy
Street dogs are our silent guardians, not a problem to be solved. We use science and facts to help you understand welfare laws, advocacy, and how we can coexist with compassion.
Media reports often use selective data to create outrage about dog bites. In this video, we present the unfiltered truth using official government data to provide a complete picture and question the narratives being pushed.
When the Supreme Court ordered all stray dogs in Delhi to be moved to shelters, we analyzed the ground reality. This video explains the logistical impossibility and the inhumane consequences of such an order, advocating for scientific solutions instead.
We break down the implications of the Supreme Court's order to remove all dogs from Delhi NCR. This video explains why the 'no return' policy is unscientific, violates the established ABC rules, and why it's a critical moment for animal welfare.
As pet parents, we have a responsibility to be good ambassadors for the community. This video discusses the importance of following airline rules for pet travel to ensure we don't undermine the efforts to make India more pet-inclusive.
We regularly host classes with veteran animal welfare experts like Raj Mariwala. This session focused on caring for community dogs, covering topics like natural behaviors, feeding laws, and conflict management to empower caretakers.
Our 'Incredible Indie Month' is a special initiative where all profits are donated to NGOs like the Bangalore Distemper Rehabilitation Center. It's our way of celebrating Indies while giving back to the organizations that care for them.
This video highlights the key topics covered in our 'Caring for Community Dogs' class. We focus on providing practical knowledge about welfare standards, managing conflicts, and understanding the legal rights of feeders and community dogs.
About this collection
Understanding the legal rights of community dogs and feeders is key to handling conflicts in your neighborhood. We do not just share generic advice; we break down Supreme Court orders and Animal Birth Control (ABC) rules so you know exactly what your local civic body can and cannot do.
Whether you are a regular feeder or just someone looking to understand the dogs on your street, there is a lot of misinformation out there. The term 'Awaara' suggests they do not belong, but our Indies are an integral part of our cities and have a 4,000-year history of coexisting with us.
We focus on these core areas:
- The ABC Process: Sterilization, vaccination, and return. It is a scientific, WHO-backed necessity. Without the 'return' step, population control fails, and the vacuum effect leads to new, unvaccinated dogs entering the territory.
- Legal Literacy: You have the right to feed community dogs. We provide clarity on High Court rulings and Feeding Laws, helping you handle intimidation or uninformed complaints with facts, not emotion.
- Conflict Resolution: Most neighborhood friction stems from a lack of understanding regarding canine body language. We teach you how to spot a dog's trigger and de-escalate interactions, ensuring safety for both humans and dogs.
These sessions are not just for activists. They are for parents who want to foster a kinder, safer environment for everyone. Join us to learn how to advocate effectively, support local NGOs, and ensure our Indies are protected, not displaced.
The Pack
I started The Pack because I felt lost when I brought my own puppy home, and I quickly realized that pet parenting goes beyond our four walls. We fight for our community Indies because they are our silent guardians, and we believe in using data and compassion to bridge the gap between fear and friendship.
