Celebrating Holi at a local animal welfare NGO, Help in Suffering, in Jaipur was an incredibly meaningful experience. Instead of indulging in traditional festivities, I chose to spend my time in service to those in need. I dedicated my day to bathing dogs suffering from mange, a skin condition that causes immense discomfort and pain to these animals. As I immersed myself in this act of compassion, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of fulfillment. Despite the challenging circumstances these animals faced, their resilience and trust in human care were truly inspiring. Witnessing their gradual transformation from distress to relief filled me with a deep sense of purpose and gratitude. Volunteering isn't just about giving back to the community; it's about personal growth and self-discovery. It teaches us invaluable lessons about compassion, resilience, and the power of collective action. By stepping outside of our comfort zones and actively engaging with diverse communities and causes, we broaden our horizons, challenge our assumptions, and foster a deeper understanding of the world around us. #VolunteerImpact #HoliCelebration #NetworkingForGood #CommunityService #VolunteerLeadership #HoliFestivities #NetworkingCommunity #ServiceBeyondSelf #VolunteerNetwork #CommunityEngagement #HoliJoy #NetworkingConnections #ServiceMatters #VolunteerCommunity #HoliSpirit #NetworkingOpportunity #CommunityOutreach #VolunteerInitiative #HoliFestival #NetworkingSuccess

Happiness is contagious and can influence those around us, both at home and in the workplace. The saying "happiness is free" highlights the importance of identifying and pursuing what brings us joy. At times, we may believe that external factors such as achievements, relationships, and material possessions are the source of happiness. However, true happiness originates from within and can positively affect our mindset, motivation, overall well-being, and enjoyment of our work. When we are happy, we are able to approach our work with enthusiasm and focus. This positive mood allows us to view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, thereby enhancing our creative abilities. Happiness can improve productivity and efficiency in the workplace by fostering a positive and motivated environment. ------------------------------------------------------ As an animal caretaker, your emotional state can have an impact on the animals you are responsible for.

Animal welfare review: Sows are more vulnerable towards transport than most other pig categories Three specific welfare risks of transporting cull sows to the abattoir are addressed In Europe, a culling rate of around half of the sows per herd per year is not unusual, which means that millions of sows are transported to slaughter each year. They are all transported by road. The specific welfare risks of transporting cull sows to the abattoir are addressed in a European Union Reference Centre for Animal Welfare Pigs (EURCAW-Pigs) review. Among the primary concerns for the welfare of cull sows during transport are (a) the sensitivity of these animals towards heat stress; (b) fitness for transport; and (c) the tendency of sows to fight when mixed with unfamiliar conspecifics. Based on findings such as increased mortality upon arrival at the abattoir compared with finishers, sows are considered more vulnerable towards transport than most other pig categories. ①Heat stress The reproductive status of sows affects their susceptibility to heat stress, and ongoing milk production probably is a risk factor compared to dry animals. Sows can be sent to slaughter at all stages of the reproductive cycle (except for the last 10% of pregnancy (according to Council Regulation 1/2005), and in some MSs, sending sows to slaughter in the last 30% of pregnancy is prohibited by national legislation. In the days just before and after weaning of the piglets, lactating sows are especially sensitive to heat stress, as their milk production is very high at this stage. ②Fitness for transport In 2022, EFSA concluded that questions about fitness for transport are among the major concerns for sow welfare during transport. Due to the general health impairment of a large proportion of cull sows, compared to average finishers, sows may experience a higher risk of worsening of pre-existing health conditions, as well as a higher risk of new health conditions occurring during transport. ③Fighting between sows induced by the mixing of unfamiliar individuals Under natural conditions, sows live in groups of related individuals. Within a group, a hierarchy preventing overt fighting between group members exist. It is well-documented that sows – when mixed with unfamiliar individuals – will fight to re-establish a hierarchy, and that the fighting can be severe and of considerable duration. Therefore, fighting among sows is considered a “focus area” for inspection.

I would like to put a question to our government, Government of India, on a very serious issue. There are many reports like the one just published in the Hindustan Times. Why are there no such reports published about the alarming increase in violence against animals in our country? Sometimes you see people beating up animals just for fun. I mean, people have really become so cruel that they can get away with anything without fearing the law. It is the fault of the law enforcement agencies that even someone who complains of animal cruelty is only fined 10-50 rupees under the law and can walk around without fear and literally do anything he wants. It is high time to revive the laws against animal abuse and tighten them with utmost seriousness. Note- These are my personal views and take on this issue and can vary from person to person. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat! PS.

In Vadodara (IN), a significant protest is underway, advocating for the recognition of personhood for animals (here: https://lnkd.in/dRducMuw) The issue at hand revolves around acknowledging animals as legal persons, granting them certain rights and protection akin to those enjoyed by humans. Advocates for this movement argue that animals, like humans, possess emotions, consciousness, and the capacity to experience suffering – thus deserving legal recognition and protection. Traditionally, personhood has been associated with humans, but there is a growing movement to extend personhood to non-human entities, such as animals and even ecosystems. In India, for instance, certain entities such as corporations and Hindu idols already enjoy personhood status. However, animals do not currently hold personhood status. Granting personhood to animals would require a re-evaluation of their legal status and rights. It would also involve legislative changes and judicial interpretation of existing laws. Furthermore, it would require amendments to animal welfare laws and possibly the recognition of animals as legal persons in specific contexts. Granting personhood to animals would have far-reaching consequences, including significant impact on industries that rely on animal exploitation, such as the meat and dairy industry. With animals recognized as legal persons, there would likely be stricter regulations and scrutiny on the treatment of animals raised for food production. The meat and dairy industry in particular would face increased pressure to improve living conditions, reduce suffering, and ensure humane treatment of animals throughout their lives. This could also lead to reforms in farming practices, including the adoption of more ethical methods of raising and slaughtering animals. Overall, granting personhood to animals would likely catalyze a broader societal dialogue about the ethical treatment of animals and the environmental impacts of animal agriculture. While it may pose challenges to certain industries, it also presents an opportunity for innovation, sustainability, and a more compassionate relationship with animals.
