Birds in cage - Your desire for a live toy that keeps breeders in business

E-mail Print PDF
I was in Nagpur last week. I was told of an illegal bird market and so I went on Sunday morning. I saw hundreds of small cages with budgerigars and pigeons in them. Of course the team of People for Animals, Nagpur took the birds and went to the police station. The police helped them – even though they had been mute spectators of this market every week. But as usual the forest department people, who are illiterate and wicked most of the time, refused to take the birds as they were foreign – obviously they had never heard of the Gujarat judgment which says that no birds can be sold – specially not love birds or budgerigars.

But what broke my heart was this: I was looking at the bird cages and I saw a budgie crouching in the corner. She looked unwell so I put my hand in and took her out. She had no legs at all; obviously the result of inbreeding and over-breeding. As I held her in my palm, she flew off to a tree in front. This brave little creature could not sit on the branch because she had no legs so she clung with her mouth to a leaf till her grasp weakened and she fell down on the road. We picked her up and she tried weakly to fly again but she went back into a special cage and I do not think she lasted the day.

Do not buy love birds and budgerigars. Both originally came from Australia and Africa but they are now grown by dealers in Kolkata and sent illegally through the railways, in packed cardboard boxes with little holes for breathing, all over India. Many of them die from the lack of oxygen.

Lovebirds are social and affectionate small parrots. They live, in nature, in small flocks and are monogamous. They pair for life, sitting only with their mates. They do not live very long when separated: like humans they pine. But the dealers and you the buyer, encourage this terrible hardship on them. In nature, they live upto 15 years. In captivity, one to two at the most. They are bred by dealers for their colours. If blue is the fashion or the order placed, then all the babies that are not blue are killed by the breeder.

Rescue of eight domestic geese from a two star resort owned by Saradha group near Santiniketan.

A report by Dr. Urmila Ganguli of PFA Santiniketan:
http://www.peopleforanimalsindia.org/albums/shantiniketan/Picture1.thumb.jpgIt came to my notice on 25th April 2013 evening over a phone call, eight domestic geese and few dogs are locked for the last 4 days in the compound of the two star “Kopai Village Resort” about 4 km west of Santiniketan, which is owned by the Saradha group. The manager and other staff escaped after locking the gates and the cottages abandoning the animals and birds to starve and die. Iimmediately called the Sub Divisional Police Officer, Bolpur Sub Division. He promised all help in spite of the touching issue related to Saradha.

Next day contact was made with the Superintendant of Police, Birbhum and the District Magistrate. Rescue operation started in the presence of local police officers, a Deputy Magistrate and local people. After much discussion it was decided that a person would enter the premises through the gap in the barbed wire fencing and catch the geese one by one and pass to the other side. This procedure was followed and proved to be practical. One by one the geese were rescued and immediately placed in our animal ambulance by our volunteer. They seemed to be exhausted in the heat, thirst and hunger. All were gasping.

“Skin Care” And Cosmetic Products

E-mail Print PDF
If you insist on being seduced by TV commercials into buying “skin care” and cosmetic products, if you are the kind of person who needs to have make up on their face to be confident , then start reading the labels of the cosmetics before you buy them . These ingredients should be avoided as they are toxic.
The new buzz words for advertising personal care products  are “ natural”, “ back to nature” “herbal” “eco friendly” – these terms are so loose that anything chemical and lethal is also included Many of these ingredients are used in skin care products by companies who market themselves as natural so start getting educated.
 
1. AHA (alpha hydroxy acid):
Skin is exfoliated chemically instead of mechanically via abrasion, dries the skin and increases aging. Supposed to be anti-wrinkle, found in many skin and hair care products. Used as a solvent originally in cleaning compounds and for tanning leather. A smooth finish is developed by stripping the outer layer of the skin, irritated skin can puff up. All your Fair and Lovely type creams have this ingredient.
