It is three years and the loss of our Langdi Kaali to a brutal run down still haunts us. She was an adult in 2009 when she came under our care. A fractured hind leg that had become straight is what had brought her to us. She was sterilized and vaccinated against rabies on a priority basis. Thereon, she was fed and looked after every single day for twelve years and seven months, regardless of any condition or the weather. She never allowed us to pet but knew she was loved and wanted by two souls, however ruthless the world around her was. She was very cautious, well aware that one of her hind legs took longer than normal to respond to stimuli. We had a soft spot for her not because she had a deformity, but because she had blind faith in us.
While she was awaiting us on the dreaded 30th July 2021 morning, she was brutally hit by a vehicle. She dragged herself to safety and disappeared. From what we learned during the exhausting search for Kaali, she died close to twenty-four hours after the hit, at a distance much away from where she belonged to. What must she have gone through while we relentlessly searched for her? The one who ran her down had little idea of what that precious soul meant to us. Do you feel our anger and pain?
The grief of Kaali’s loss and scores of innocents like her has to be put to constructive use, do our part, GIVE ANIMALS A BRAKE.
