We know sterilisation is important. We know everyone is trying, in their own way, to help control the stray population and give these babies a better life. But trying is not enough if it is not done with care. These dogs are not numbers. They are not “just strays.” They are living beings who feel fear, pain, stress, and discomfort just like any other animal we would protect without a second thought. A dog that has just come out of surgery is already vulnerable. Their body is sore, their stitches are fresh, and they need calm, gentle, and safe handling. When there are delays, rough handling, damaged cages, overcrowded transport, or people who do not know how to manage post-op dogs properly, it is the animals who suffer the most. What should be a step towards welfare should never become another source of trauma. We understand that sterilisation work is not easy. It takes coordination, time, effort, and resources. But that is exactly why it needs to be done responsibly. With proper planning. With trained handlers. With safe transport. With compassion. With urgency. And above all, with respect for the lives in our care. Just because they are strays does not mean they deserve less patience, less dignity, or less protection. If we are doing this for them, then let’s truly do it for them. Let’s do it the right way. Because recovery deserves care, not carelessness. Because welfare cannot exist without responsibility. And because every single dog deserves to come back from surgery feeling safe, protected, and treated with kindness. Let’s not just sterilise them. Let’s also safeguard them.
