Street animals in India have a tough life and although it is illegal to kill a stray animal, bribery and legal loopholes have allowed the activity to remain commonplace, notably in Kerala   where the authorities sweep through periodically and methods can range from cruel to horrific.

However, through sterilization, the stray population becomes stable and decreases over time. It also becomes largely non-aggressive. On the other hand, when strays are killed or forcibly removed from an area, new dogs keep arriving, the population continuously multiplies and changes, thus becoming unstable and aggressive.

Through donations and volunteering Mad Dogs' Trust aims to reduce populations humanely through our ABC (animal birth control) program. We inoculate all the dogs that we catch and treat for rabies, distemper and other fatal diseases. and clip their ears, a visible sign that this is a safe animal.

We treat anything from mange through to car accidents and of course, euthanize where necessary.In the future Mad Dogs' Trust would like an animal ambulance, the first of its kind in these parts, to treat animals immediately without the distress of being removed from their territories.
