Its Groundhog day at Dogstar, We are back under curfew
A sudden spike in local cases has put us back under curfew for the first time since May, but what is a Sri Lankan curfew and how is it different to a circuit breaker, fire break, tier level lockdown in the UK?
Our curfews here are absolute and enforced by the military, you cannot leave your house without a curfew pass, no hour of exercise, no social bubbles and no shopping, if you are outside without a valid reason, you can be arrested, detained at a quarantine centre and your vehicle impounded. This is the same system we had between March and May and its why we created our street dog feeding program as all the dog's normal food sources disappeared overnight
We are reapplying for the required permissions, we will need to ramp our feeding program back up again as many dogs will now have no other food sources again, we have spent the afternoon getting extra supplies in.
Dogs like Larry who lives in a former tourist area pictured here with the beautiful Lalith relies on the meals you provide him and the fuss that Lalith gives him on your behalf
It is on days like today we thank our lucky stars for you, our online Dogstar’s, you make it all happen for these dogs no matter how tough the odds
THANK YOU
Woofs and Wags from Larry
Love and Gratitude, Sam, Lalith and Team Dogstar
P.s all our staff are safe at home, and we have suspended our spay-neuter programs to comply with the curfew
