Pramada Shaw, DirectorOur Pledge to Animals

Here is an open letter from the Chair of Animal Welfare Network Nepal and our new director here @ Animal Nepal, PRAMADA SHAH:

There seems to be no limit to the everyday crimes committed against animals in Nepal. The level of cruelty against every kind of species is so high and so commonplace that most of us simply close our eyes and ears and get on with our lives.  Stray dogs are regarded as pests, and left to die in the streets. Household pets are tied on short chains or locked up in tiny, dirty cages, 24 hours a day. Exercise, grooming, balanced diets and most of all love is something these poor creatures never see in their lives. Exotic breeds find their way to the market through unscrupulous breeders and dog dealers. They are mostly bought to show off by clueless owners who don’t know the ABCs of pet care...more...

Your Participation

Obviously, a small group of well-wishing volunteers cannot make the impact we envision, so we invite all local and international animal lovers to participate in any way they can. Your role in helping us achieve our goals can come in many forms, and besides just the ones listed below, we are sure there are other ways you can help that we have yet to think of:

  • Volunteering to help with our ongoing projects and media campaigns.
  • Supporting us (virtually) by participating in our online petitions and discussions.
  • Supporting businesses in Nepal that we work with to better improve the lives (or deaths) of Nepal's domestic animal population.
  • Donating goods and funds to further the effort in providing for the needy animals of Nepal.

The Benefits

Why participate? Besides the obvious of helping create a better living environment for all, animalNEPAL.org (as a registered NGO) provides the following for any volunteer or donor:

  • Certificates of Civic Duty and Volunteerism.
  • Experiences working with trained Veterinarians and other Animal Welfare workers.
  • The opportunity to change the lives of suffering animals on a one-on-one basis.
  • Tax-exemption receipts for any donation of any kind given.

...Next Steps

How can you get started? We recommend that you first explore this website (and if you have time, our old one as well) and then use the online discussion to communicate your thoughts, ideas, and wishes to volunteer or otherwise help out. Anyone familiar with Nepal knows the situation is dire for domestic as well as wild animals, and we don't have all the answers. But together we can devise and implement the solutions. Thank you, from all of us here at animalNEPAL.org.

AN thanks our international supporters:
