Once in a while I have to repeat myself because the problem does not go away. The bio industry of buffaloes and cows for the comfort of milk, cheese and meat. Is it worth the suffering? India is the largest beef exporter in the world. The 100 rescued buffaloes at Karuna will not change that.
Almost once a week we receive a monkey that is electrocuted by connecting to the live wires in town. There are no more monkeys in the forest. They all come to town and don’t know the difference between a live wire and the branch of a tree.
A few weeks ago our two male sloth bears were castrated. Yesterday we opened the door between the two compounds and now the whole bear family of six bears is playing together.
One of our bulls has been living in the herd of 100 cattle for several years. Last week, he did not return from the forest after grazing. Our staff tried to catch him but he was fighting them off. As he was having ropes around his neck and a nose rope we were worried that
Bheema is one of our rescued bulls from 2002, who has been contributing his strength and health for the other rescued animals. He has been collecting vegetable waste from the Ashram canteen on a daily basis for 14 years. Now, per Jan 1, 2017, he is completely retired. We hope he will enjoy some more

The wound was not too bad. After treatment and medication it was released. All the villagers attended! It might be
Sometimes I just dont know what to say when we are overwhelmed with injured and helpless animals. These last two weeks it is “Monkeys”. One after the other coming in; dog bites, electrocution, beaten up and paralyzed. Nursing is most important as we cannot always see who is going to make it.
At Karuna we have a “no reproduction” policy. Recently we have castrated our own permanent male donkey’s. We could say that this little one is an “accident” but it is still welcome!
Our rescued animals received a wonderful year-end present from Help Animals India! A large donation to help us buy food & medicines, and much-needed salaries for our caregivers.

Do you remember the little deer with two dislocated front legs, fully bandaged? After tree months care it has recovered well. It can jump and run. See the hair, doesnt look so good! This is the time of year when the animals change their coat from summer to winter.
