hi everyone welcome to community sterilization campaign we're actually right here in Triolet
at the moment where inside there they're actually sterilizing dogs
they are trying to set it up as a once a month sort of event and they're going to go down
to different towns next month will probably be at Trou Aux Biches and that's it in French there
and like i said it is they do offer it for free obviously they ask for a donation if you can
you can if not you know this is what what they're collecting funds for and i hope you guys are going
to help out but let's go and have a look so this behind me is where all the action is happening
it seems someone has invaded his turf there are loads of dogs coming and coming in here to
be sterile uh i'll show you some of the dogs and then we'll see what they're actually doing inside
yeah girl have a look at this beautiful girl coming to be sterilized she's actually an adopted
stray and you can actually you're allowed to adopt stray dogs so that's fantastic and isn't she
beautiful a little bit sad because she's at the doctor but aren't we all not all the dogs are sad
some are really happy to be here what a good girl what a good girl this is Jordan and she's actually
got two strays with her and they're actually looking really good oh he's looking at me
they actually look in really good condition while we got really lucky this is the famous Lizzy B
you guys probably know her from the onion relish marmalade marmalade that she makes fantastic
but this is her second job okay so what we've been passionate about is obviously sterilizing
as many owned stray dogs in our communities as possible so together with a great group of ladies
my daughter we've been gathering up funds and not robbing banks
but soon to rob banks
yes you guys got to donate or she's going to start robbing banks
as their fourth job and so yeah this is our passion today from village to village
sterilise sterilise sterilise and also educate
people on the importance of sterilisations
yes so we called ourselves community sterilization campaign and you'll see our
our cat lady around
Bryan can show our logo
yes we work together with all live matter
the vets doctor Patel
and he's great at doing sterilizations for us and yeah that's awesome so please donate
yeah so i think i think the the gist of this is they do lots of sterilizations and they
really need your help so get donating she'll give me a link and uh you guys
can click there and donate tons of money thank you to save these straight dogs so the process
is pretty simple what you do is you come in here there will normally be a community centers
but at the moment it's at this kind person's house so you come in and you go and register over here
not too much paperwork keep it easy uh i won't show you any of the names but you come in you
fill out a form and then you sit in queue and next thing next thing you know you're going back there
this is the vet in action shaving one of the cats now as you can see they have all their equipment
here and they've got a nice place to recover one's under a blanket starting to wake up a little bit
i think i did mention all lives matter and this is their logo so look out for it this is dr Patel
hard at work on on one of this one of the dogs i think the statement on that shirt says it
all catch sterilize release that's it
and he can do it in Creole as well this is Mr Ramdin
who's actually donated his house for today's uh event
thank you so much please if you don't mind saying something Creole
okay no problem i'll tell you
we have done this
we have done this for the community
for those people who don't have means
to sterilise their pets, cats and dogs
and because we couldn't do it at
a village hall because of lockdown
we are doing it here
and i hope that more people will
will join us in helping
in the good job we are doing
great thank you
so good news on these guys they're good to go home
i think a good piece of advice is a blanket or a towel they are tricky to carry afterwards
or you just have to be strong believe the maximum he is done in a day 73 73 in a day
wow he's a machine Cindy she's a foster what does that mean that means when we catch a stray dog
for sterilization and release you can catch the day before so i foster the dog the sterilization
and the dog is okay then we'll release them i also host some puppies until they get adopted
but we do sterilization and vaccination first then we we give them an adoption well that's fantastic
and she's got one with her okay not an actual puppy just one of the strays and he's he's also
a little bit sad he understands yes this just in Lizzy here has 10 dogs at home and three cats and
three cats are they friendly to each other well we have our moments wow ten dogs that's the most
wait for this
70 dogs she once had
and 11 cat and 11 cats
70 dogs and 11 cats
this is the bravest person i know absolutely okay so we finally convinced the two that are all about
this uh to actually talk to us hi guys hi so Lisa and i are co-parents of dogs on a beach an entire
pack that we vaccinated we've sterilized we've socialized and they've become the most popular dog
in Mauritius so they're lovely they jog with Lisa every morning they wait with us they wait for
us for breakfast and lunch and they're just the most exquisite dogs and they're a great example
of what can be done on the island if people just pull together and the dog's extremely happy there
they wouldn't be happy confined all right no no i had one of them at home for a week because he
had a problem with his paw so i had him at home and he couldn't wait to get back on the beach yeah
i mean it's their natural environment i suppose they've grown up with it they are with the pack
but how many are there
about 8 or 9 there might be more
and they have a wonderful leader
that they all follow and who looks after them
called Bruiser, Bruiser
follow him on Facebook Bruiser and Co
follow them on Facebook i'll put a link you can give me a link oh fantastic thank you so much
okay bye well if you thought the two ladies outside were nervous
i've got Bhavin here he's actually studying to be a vet in Russia
but because of corona he's stuck here at the moment but he's learning so much
do you see what i mean don't don't worry about it uh
do you have any plans you know when you're going there
not really
okay so good news he gets to stay here and help out so i'm sorry about your Russian thing but
i'm sure i'm sure the guys here really appreciate having you around and thank you so much for all your
work that you're doing here well she's going to deny it she is the superstar of this so
hi so yes so what we're actually doing is spraying neuter release we call it and um it's the point of
it is to catch all the strays or the roaming dogs sometimes have owners but they don't look after it
sterilize them and then put them straight back from where they come very often we see these
dogs are not ill-treated they're fed they're happy they're raised around but the problem is they're
just left to breed and breed so then it becomes a problem for the whole community people
get angry they want to get rid of the dog so to reduce all these problems we highly believe that
this is the only solution so we're not catching and killing not getting rid of them not taking
them and throwing them somewhere else so really like leaving them where they are sterilizing
them and just let them live so they are part of our families we need to learn to live with them
they are a problem sometimes yes but we can't just eliminate them we need to learn how to live with
them and that's what we can do for them so if we sterilize sterilize sterilize there will be
no more so everyone can throw out a little bit of food they won't disturb anyone and that's
what every single person can just do it so if you see a stray you must just grab it put it in your
car bring it to the vet get it fixed don't always think it's someone else's responsibility like if
you love Mauritius you want to live in this island then it's everywhere responsibility to just grab a
stray feed look after it and get it sterilized if everyone does it will be done very fast with this
problem hear hear i completely agree now clap if you weren't attached well thank you so much thank
you but the aim is to get communities to buy in be involved do it for themselves for those that
can afford it to help those that can't afford it fantastic i mean it's something that Mauritius
really does need uh we need sterilization rather than the government getting involved like they did
a few years ago thank you so much thank you thank you wow i know this has been a bit of a departure
from our normal videos but i think it is very very important that we actually highlight this
because it is something that they're doing and like they're all saying is get the animals
sterilized you can bring them here they go out and do a catch and release sterilization which is
fantastic but anyway everyone if you can support please do i know i will be and i'd just like to
thank them all for all the hard work that they're doing thanks for watching see you next time
