Heartwarming Scenes as PETA India Brings Disaster Relief to Animals in Wayanad

In response to the devastating landslides in Wayanad, Kerala, PETA India mobilised a team to rescue and provide aid to animals in distress. The group’s dedicated team, comprising a veterinarian and para-veterinarians, travelled to the site of the devastation equipped with food, medicine, and rescue equipment to ensure the well-being of dogs, cats, chickens, and other animals affected by the landslides. PETA India is working with India Project for Animals and Nature (IPAN) on this rescue operation and also supported People for Animals Trivandrum by providing supplies.

Among the rescues was a dog found sitting in front of a temple that had been washed away. The dog was traumatised and reluctant to move from the temple site, but after being fed, he was safely taken to IPAN’s team for relocation. Another dog, whose guardian had fled to safety, was taken in by another kind individual. PETA India provided food and a leash to assist them. A lost Pomeranian, who was found running panicked, was given food and also taken to IPAN. Additionally, a cat and her kittens were discovered buried under a broken roof by IPAN. They were all safely rescued. Due to the challenging terrain, vehicles were unable to reach the affected areas, so PETA India’s team trekked over kilometres with equipment to rescue the animals and safely transport them to a waiting vehicle.

So far, PETA India has rescued one chicken and dozens of dogs and cats from areas where there is no access to food. The Kerala State Animal Husbandry Department, along with District Veterinary Hospital Kalpetta Director Dr Manoj Kumar along with District Veterinary Hospital Kalpetta Director Dr Manoj Kumar and District Animal Welfare Officer Dr Rajesh R, provided invaluable assistance during these operations.
