Jens Fissenebert hasn't added a story.
Last week our volunteer Clarissa Schill reported that she saw a
couple of dogs who were shot death on her way back to her hostel at
STEP Africa.
We have tried to find out reasons for that action
and the numbers of dogs, but nothing is confirmed yet. Various source
told us a death toll of 8 and according to some villagers Jens met
today they got killed due to population control.
We are
convinced that the only way to do that should be by
castrating/sterilizing the dogs and prevent all the unwanted puppies,
but so far Mbwa Wa Africa is not having the resources to conduct a
spay /neuter campaign, however we are currently working on a proposal
for this.
The good news is that during the investigation our friend Omari
got in contact with Mama Baraka who’s is also living in the
area.
One of her 6 dogs gave birth recently and she asked for
help as she is not able to feed them all. She would like to keep 2 of
the adults and asked if we can try to re-home the others. All of the
dogs are very friendly, a bit shy at first, but were asking for more
ears scratching as soon as they got comfortable with us. Mama Baraka
also agreed that the dogs should get spayed and neutered. Compared to
Europe this is a relatively cheap operation and we always use our
Veterinary Lieve Lynen from Merlino Vet Clinic to do it, but it isn't
affordable to most Tanzanians.
As MWA is currently not having
the possibility to take the dogs in we have left a bag of food with
Mama Baraka and kindly ask our friends and followers to sponsor the
operations (TS 175,000 or 104 USD/85 Euro per sterilization) and / or
food till we have succeeded to find new homes.
