Are You An Animal Lover? Become A Pet Foster Parent!

The lockdown is the perfect time to indulge ourselves in a hobby — all of us must have pampered ourselves with an indoor activity of interest for pleasure and relaxation during this testing stint. How about pursuing some outdoor unconventional hobbies during this slow unlock phase?

One thing that kept us sane during the lockdown has been our favourite hobby. Either we have been baking delicious cakes and pastries or reading our favorite books on our wishlist. Now as we slowly unlock ourselves let us continue to do things that keep us happy — not just our own selves but let us strive to make others happy by spreading happiness around.

With humans self-isolating and quarantining themselves in their homes due to the lockdown, our forests have been at peace (during) with animals venturing out due to less vehicle movement.

But millions of India’s street animals — monkeys, cows, dogs, and cats — have been suffering during the lockdown. They do not have enough food and water to survive as the people who generally feed them cannot move out because of the lockdown. Some stray animal lovers procured special curfew passes to feed stray animals during the lockdown. In places like Mumbai, Jammu, and Kashmir, the local administration has been urging people to feed stray animals and birds.
