WARNING: GRAPHIC.
A charity I have been following for a long time is Animal Aid Unlimited. Like most charities, it's run entirely on donations. This charity runs out of India and many connecting countries and is basically the only form of animal rescue and care they have over there. This group of people work tirelessly around the clock to help animals in need, they live and breathe for this charity.
Now why do I support a charity on the other side of the world and not per say one over here?
First, I support many charities in my own country and community.
Second, I support this charity because in many countries, India especially, the laws in place to protect and care for animals are practically non existent. Just think for a second the conditions some of the humans in that country have to deal with, now take that and apply it to the animals. Dogs are constantly being attacked and killed for fun, abandoned, tied up to one post their entire lives with the rope slowly embedding itself in their neck, getting stuck in traps, getting hit by cars only to have severe injuries that will slowly and I mean slowly, kill them. Even in a country where Cows are considered holy and sacred they still face abuse too. You name it, it's probably happened.
The work these people do is mind blowing, the video I have added to this post is one of their worst case wounds but there are many close behind. The people don't just give up on the animals either -they literally do everything in their power to save even the most unlikely of lives. That's something that really stands out to me, many charities are quick to give them the needle, but Animal Aid Unlimited wants to do everything they can first, and in many cases (like Kalu's story) it has proven to be a good decision.
I donate to this charity because they don't have the access to care for animals like we do here. They need medicines - even just saline solution to clean out wounds and powders to clear things up, the basics like gauze and food. Around here, I can buy a bag of dog food and drop it off at any shelter or in some cases even a pet store and it will find it's way to a needy pooch. They do everything they can but it's not so easy over there, so the animals need help from places like here.
I hope one day I'll get an opportunity to do more than just spread the word and donate. If any of these videos tug at your heart strings - think about donating. Their website has some great options for donations, from money to buying food or medical supplies - it's all up to you!
If you can't donate - at least give them a follow on Instagram and check out their website here: Animal Aid Unlimited.
Here is a video they shared on their Instagram the other day that I got absolutely giddy over and I thought was super cute and should be shared. It's a glimpse into the positive things that come as a result of this incredible charity and it's even more incredible people.
