What We Do - Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

At Blue Cross we are committed to reducing animal suffering and cruelty. To do this we have to look at prevention of cruelty from 2 angles: One is through transforming attitudes- that of our friends, relatives and the community in general. The other is addressing blatant neglect and cruelty of so many helpless animals around us, and doing something to stop this. The abused animals include canines, felines, birds, cattle, equines and city wildlife.

Transform attitudes Not all of us are born knowing or caring for animals, or feeling empowered to deal with them. But it is important to consider where we stand in our attitudes towards them: do we support violence simply because we are afraid of animals, or should we clearly not tolerate violence against any living creature? Internal harmony reflects external harmony, which reflects the attitudes of a nation. The Indian Constitution calls for compassion for all life, but the Indian experience is something else. To call for information and guidance when in doubt or fear regarding animals is a big positive step than to call for their destruction. Every creature serves a multitude of purposes in nature and keeps the balance. Understanding, educating, are very important steps to reduce cruelty. People practicing animal friendly behaviours can influence and inspire others. Good practices like responsible pet ownership, good animal behaviour and well behaved animals are all ambassadors of the animal peace movement. More and more of us can get involved in this in small ways to help build animal friendly attitudes. For above all, any community when assured of safety, security and respect for their fears, will be willing to get involved. The ABC programme for stray cats and dogs, the control of snakes, monkeys, better farm, poultry and dairy practices - all depend on the people involved coming on board the prevention of cruelty to animals wagon. We cannot do it alone. For this critical mass to swing thousands of us must live the animal friendly way and show others how to do it – how to choose it.

If you are an animal lover and wish to bring about a change in peoples attitudes we have an excellent plan in the making. To volunteer, please send in your request to bluecrosshyd@gmail.com attention Amala Akkineni.

Report Animal Cruelty
Do you believe an animal in your community is the victim of cruelty or abuse? Animal cruelty encompasses behaviour harmful to animals ranging from neglect to malicious killing. Most cruelty investigated is found to be "neglect" that can be resolved through education. Intentional cruelty, or abuse, is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter, or veterinary care; or maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing an animal. You can prevent this.

Kindly spend a few minutes talking to the concerned individual who is being cruel to the animal and see if you can convince them to stop. If not then please download the Animal Laws and preventing cruelty file, read it and proceed in action to stop the cruelty. Kindly do not use this as a way to defame or get back at your neighbour or enemy.

Online Complaint forms are reviewed daily Monday to Friday excluding public holidays. If you are reporting an emergency situation, please call the Blue Cross of Hyderabad on 040- + 91- 40 3298 9858, 2354 4355 / 5523.
