The animal birth control program has been a key initiative of BMAD, ever since its inception 7 years ago, as a small organisation.
We have always believed that sterilisation of street animals is the single most humane approach to control the street animal population, and in turn improve their quality of life.
With the streets of Chennai having lakhs of street dogs and cats, most newborns don’t survive their first year, succumbing to road accidents, deadly diseases and cruelty. By managing their population, the existing animals have a better chance of finding homes, and many dangerous diseases such as TVTs, mammary tumours, pyometra can be prevented, providing them with a better quality of life. Neutering and spaying of animals also reduces human animal conflict.
Did you know, that just one male and female dog and their offsprings can produce 67000 puppies in a span of 7 years? And just one male and female cat, and their offsprings can produce over 4 lakh kittens in the span of 6 years?
Considering these factors, we have given this initiative utmost importance from the very beginning. When BMAD first started, we used to do 1 ABC in a week, with a small team.
Over the years, with the support of our community, we have been able to expand our operations, and now we do close to 20 ABCs in a day. And today we crossed 10,000 ABCs including street dogs and cats, as well as owner animals. We now have two OTs, an exclusive operation theatre for conducting sterilisation surgeries, with experienced vets, and an exclusive post op care unit.
The reason behind the success of this initiative is our network of community caretakers, rescuers, regular sponsors and our dedicated team who have made this initiative a success.
