= = Dear Sylvie,

= = Following = our move to the more central Lakeside area of Pokhara in July 2010 we've = been pretty busy, and we'd like to tell you briefly about some of our = recent activities....

=
= =  
= = Rabies = Eradication

= Of the 18 Wards comprising the Pokhara = Municipality, we have completed the systematic survey of 15 of them, = thus enabling base-line estimates of the current free-roaming dog = population.

= 3D"Giving=

= = After each survey a comprehensive mass = anti-rabies vaccination program (MARV) was conducted for the = free-roaming street and community dogs in those Wards =96 plus some = cats!

= We have = also held a number of MARV camps around the Pokhara area to enable = owners to have their pet dogs vaccinated.

= = Studies reveal that a minimum of 70% of the = dog population must be annually vaccinated against rabies in order to = control, and ultimately eliminate, this lethal disease. =

= We're = well ahead of that target and HART's data indicates that 88% of the dogs = were vaccinated in these surveyed Wards.

= = Survey and MARV in the remaining three = Wards is now under way.

=

= = Humane Dog Population Management =

= WSPA = very generously sponsored a visit to the Blue Paw Trust in Colombo, Sri = Lanka, and, as a result, we have adopted many of their CNVR (Catch, = Neuter, Vaccinate & Release) working procedures for use in the = Pokhara area. This method of working is particularly relevant as we = expand into the villages adjoining the Pokhara = Municipality.

= 3D"Mobile

= = It's not practical to transport dogs over = long distances or on difficult terrain. In these circumstances we use a = mobile operating theatre - as seen here - to take our surgical = sterilization services into the outlying areas which form = an anti-rabies buffer zone around the city.

= = Whilst our main effort is directed towards = the free-roaming street dogs, we have also embarked on a widespread = campaign, principally through Chandra Rai, our Community Liaison = Officer, to better inform the local dog-owning population that we can = offer their dogs surgical sterilization as a proven alternative to = chemical contraception.

= The message is clearly getting through and = we are very encouraged that 24% of all the female dogs that we have = spayed since July 2010 have actually been provided to HART by their = owners.

= = In order to gauge the effectiveness of our = education programme, we set the children a number of written questions = to test their knowledge of dog bite avoidance, rabies and the importance = of dog sterilization, before and then again after the talk. =
