Woman With Marital Trouble Leaves Her Husband. What She Does With Her Life? OMG.

We make fun of the ‘crazy cat lady’! Did you know there is a woman in India that cares for 400 dogs?! She is far from crazy! Pratima Devi is 65-years-old and has taken it upon herself to care for 400 stray dogs in New Delhi.

India has an incredible number of stray dogs and in 2001 a law was passed that said killing strays was illegal; residents often feed the dogs, but the strays are not spayed or neutered, so the problem continues to grow. Pratima was miserable in her marriage, so she left her husband and now cares for the homeless dogs.


One of her sons tried to get her to come back to her village, but she refused. Pratima is much happier caring for her dogs. Vivek, an 18-year-old boy, lives nearby and helps Pratima with the dogs every day. He has been helping her for two years.

Pratima and Vivek make sure the dogs are all clean, fed and have their injuries properly treated. They even get the dogs vaccinated. The dogs eat three times a day! Their diet is milk, meat, and rice.

Recently Pratima has gotten donations of food, milk, and money, but can’t afford to get them all spayed or neutered. Pratima is worried about what will happen to her dogs when she is gone. Pratima hopes that a rescue will step in and help care for her pack, so it doesn’t keep growing!

Pratima is right – we should be encouraged by her, those stray animals are our responsibility! Share away, people.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia.
