LETTERS TO IDA INDIA

I was really surprise when I saw that there is an institute who listen to the pains of animals without owners. We also have experience that we only can have pity for their sufferings. But I am very happy now that I am having support from the institute who really takes care of these animals and relive them from pains only after giving one telephonic call. The co-operation given by them is beyond expectation. I am really very very thankful to you and whole team who involves in this treatment in real words you are angels for us and for them.

Thanking you once again.

Hi all,

Listening to so many things people did to animals and how cruel they were my friends and i planned to make a group.A group in which we help animals in destress.To do this we became the voulenteers of IDA.Here we were guided by naina athle.we also visited the ida center in vashi, where we met all sorts of dogs rescued by ida, then we met an angel dog who was also rescued by ida and they found the pup paralysed when a rickshaw went over its hind legs.Because of its guts and hope to live we named the pup 'GUTSY'. He had his own way of living , he always wanted to have food in the larger bowl ,and he just proved the saying right 'SIZE DOES'NT MATTER'......he was a total bully.But unfortunetly ,he left us all,but with a new perspective of looking at things,
and on 26 th jan 2008, the part ceiling of the ida center vashi fell down! after alot of communication the nmmc people have agreed to upgrade the place!!!..

On the 15th of march 08, our group and mrs.naina athle visited mrs.fizzah farm in vasai. It was amazing to see such an animal lover existing in a world where people only look for their PROFIT! The place had all rescued animals like dogs, birds,swans,ducks,cocks,cows, goats and rabbits.

A dog named charlie was a labrador who had maggots on one of his legs. Another dog called tango was a great dane who was dumped by his owner. A pariah dog was named christmas as he came at the end of december.....
and his brother was called angel because he had blue eyes!! both of them were found on the highway. its great to see such ambitious animal lovers... hoping that you all educate more and more people about animals....
animal lovers

I am really thankfull to Ms Vivienne Chaudhry for her prompt response to pick up the pups from road and save them from Dyeing. There are only few people in this world like her who are so much considerate towards animals.

I would definately try to help your organization with some donation.

Dear Madam,

Subject: Investigation of the carcass of the dog hanging from the iron - angle in CBD Belapur, Sector 3 on 13-Oct-2006.

I thank you for your favourable and speedy approach in dealing with the above mentioned case.

Trustee of IDA, Ms Naina Athale and animal welfare officer Mr Indulkar came and saw the carcass hanging and followed it up with the administration. The first step to sensitize the administration was effectively done.

In a case like this, where the cause of death is questionable, the logical conclusion would be for the police to send the carcass for autopsy and its scientific disposal. However, in this case, since this procedure was not followed, the cause of the death will never be known.

Once again I thank you for your support and hope to find the same in future too.

Additionally, I would like to mention that I saw all the write-ups in Mumbai Mirror and feel that it was the right approach to bring about awareness and encourage adoption.

Thanking you
Yours truly

Vice President, IDA India.

Dear Ms. Fizzah Shah,

This letter is an acknowledgement for the work and service you have provided me when I needed help the most. You gave me the systematic and lawful information of the times I have seen that people either give half information or they are not quick enough to give help or support. But I think, for the first time ever, I received the complete lawful information and the quickest service ever possible so that I could take early positive steps to prevent people trom indulging in cruelty to stray dogs.

I sincerely appreciate your commitment and dedication in service of animals and supporting people involved in the same. I am gratefulto you for the promptness you showed in the matter.

I hope to receive similar enthusiastic support from you and your organization in the future.

My best wishes to you for further work in the field of defence of animals.

With Warm Regards,

Dr. P'radnya Shenoy

Dear Madam,

This is just a small thank you note of gratitude, to appreciate the efforts put in by you in our case against our neighbour Mr. Narendra J. Desai, who went on making false complaints against our family dogs and us to the various government bodies.

We were helpless and terrified all the time by this man as he could go to any extent to remove our dogs from our house, but thanks to you we live freely now.

Since your intervention in the case we got much more support from the BSPCA and after the letter written by you to the Joint Municipal commissioner, the harassment from the Dog Control officer has also stopped.

We have no words to express our gratitude to you; all we can say is thank you. There are a lot of people who do big talks about caring for animals and loving them, but it feels really nice to know that there are still people like you and your organization who do a lot of good work for such a noble cause.

God bless you and your organization. Ms. Fizzah Shah, Secretary, IDA.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,

Purna Chitalia.

Dear Fiza/Sudnya,

Its come to my notice that except IDA India none of the Animal Welfare NGO's who are in suburbs don’t provide any kind of emergency services for the strays at Saki Naka & Saki Vihar Road, Why such discrimination, the strays in Saki Naka specially are in bad shape its my everyday road as you know. I stay on Saki Vihar Road. Sometimes I stop to feed them but as the area is really not that good for a female to stop alone there. I have seen so many under-nutrition dogs & sometimes they are so skinny God knows how they must be surviving. I have seen in mornings lot of dead puppies also, because even sterilization is neglected in these areas & its not fair. IDA has never let me down whenever I have asked for service, but as our ambulance has to come from Chembur naturally because of traffic it takes time, but these NGO's are near to that area & still don’t provide services in Saki Naka. Fiza/Sudnya it will be really nice if you can do something about it & please if these 2 area dogs can be vaccinated & sterilized I am there to help you in any circumstances but sometimes when I am driving alone it is really not sensible to get down alone. Please look into this matter. Waiting for your revert. As I am a Life Member with IDA India & I am very proud to be a part of IDA India.

Love
Ritu Ray
