Amid the world’s strictest lockdown, people who feed stray dogs are now deemed essential

Lal is one of the animal lovers looking after India’s 35 million free-roaming dogs, many of which can’t find food during the world's largest lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19. With shops and restaurants shuttered from March 25 until at least May 18, the canines’ main source of sustenance—garbage scraps—is gone.

Amid the world’s strictest lockdown, people who feed stray dogs are now deemed essential

Lal, a volunteer at Bark India Charitable Trust, sometimes stays out until 1 a.m. feeding dogs. Activists like her are doing everything they can, but it’s not enough, she says in a phone interview. “There are dogs who go hungry for about seven days. Then they get one meal, maybe, on the eighth day.”

APOSTROPHE

Amid the world’s strictest lockdown, people who feed stray dogs are now deemed essential

Vineeta Arora, owner of the Agra animal rescue shelter Casper’s Home, says one of her volunteers was “beaten up by a shopkeeper” for feeding dogs too close to a store that was open illegally during the lockdown. Though the government supports individuals caring for animals, those individuals’ fellow citizens may go by their own rules.
