Situation in Sri Lanka
A dog’s life is not easy in Sri Lanka.
There are approximately 6 million street dogs and 3 million street cats in Sri Lanka.
​​
Even though you could say Sri Lankan street dogs love their freedom and it is a way of life for them, they do face lots of dangers and issues.
They are mostly seen as pests by many locals and are seriously mistreated, ignored and malnourished. They are shot, beaten or boiled to death, their paws or tails chopped off or intentionally run over by tuk tuks. With so many dogs and cats, every day they are victims of road traffic accidents, dog fights and infectious diseases, they produce numerous litters of puppies & kittens every year which becomes a vicious circle.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of veterinary care, food, water and safe place for them to sleep.
This is where our Sri Lankan street dog and cat charity comes in. The best way to help the street dogs is to educate the locals about animal welfare and CNVR – catch, neuter, vaccinate, release.
