I recently had the opportunity to present a talk “The Perception of Rarity: Wildlife Rabies and Other One Health Challenges.” at the 37th Rabies in The Americas RITA conference in Tempe, Arizona. Great opportunity to connect with some of the leading minds in rabies research.

This is one of the US based NGOs funding stray dog menace in India. Who has provided them permission to run brainwashing workshops for 10,000+ school students across India? DS funding channels need to be blocked. @EduMinOfIndia @India_NHRC @HMOIndia @NCPCR_
Three months. Five cities. Over ten thousand children who now see animals a little differently. Between July and September 2026, Stray Relief and Animal Welfare (STRAW India), a Help Animals India grantee based in New Delhi, ran 186 humane education workshops for students in Bangalore, Bhopal, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kanpur. 10,085 students took part. Humane education covers what so often goes untaught: how to read a dog's body language, why you never tease or throw stones at an animal, what to do when you find one hurt, and why the dog outside the school gate belongs in the neighbourhood as much as anyone else. It sounds simple. In the long run, it is one of the most effective things anyone can do for animals. A child who learns kindness early carries it into adulthood, and usually takes family and friends along too. Fewer bites, less cruelty, more people willing to step in. STRAW India's work went beyond the classroom. 144 community dogs and cats were vaccinated against rabies over the same three months, and their educational content reached 189,000 accounts on social media. Educating one child at a time adds up. This quarter, it added up to quite a lot. Thank you, STRAW India, and thank you to CHAL USA for supporting this work alongside us.

This is what doctors in India face for speaking the truth. The Liver Doc presents his case with irrefutable evidence, solid medical logic and insight. In return he is criticised as a 'Christian Fanatic' ( Dr Abby is an atheist ), a pharma company agent( he never was, never will be ), enemy of Sanatan. Over the yrs, @theliverdoc has been hounded by FIRs, defamation cases, manhandling of his staff, character assassination as 'Organ Trader', 'Rice Bag Convert' & worse. There is an entire X lobby working full time against him. Today, a 65 yr old Psychiatrist, a friend from Tirunelveli called me. He has developed Kidney Failure after being treated for Prostate enlargement with a snake oil product, euphemistically called, 'Ayurveda', by an 'Ayurved' degree holder. In my books, that's a quack. I hit the roof. I am furious. I am just a phone call away, but this learned doctor, preferred to trust & take nonsense in the name of Rx for his severe Prostate enlargement. Untreated BPH sometimes causes Kidney Failure, as in this case. Imagine! If a much acclaimed, famous Psychiatrist(MD- Psychiatry) can fall for their tricks, and lose his kidneys because of pseudoscience, how much health education is needed for our society, to wean them away from quackery. This is what the Liver Doctor has been selflessly doing as a mission. Just imagine his noble mission against insurmountable odds. Support him. If there is only one medical handle you follow for scientific medical education minus the frills, let it be @theliverdoc .
None of what the comment says is true. The video is all about medical science only. Nothing about religion. youtube.com/watch?v=LfROQtTz…

🧵Updating the list of human health threats posed by free-roaming dogs (FRDs): Dog-transmitted rabies (kills 1 human somewhere in the developing world, every 15 minutes) is not the only public health threat posed by FRDs. Add Lymphatic filariasis to this list.... 1/6

Add to this list another emergent threat, human dirofilariasis, caused by Dirofilaria repens or Dilofilaria immitis. Given that dogs and the mosquito vectors are ubiquitous in India, dirofilariasis poses a serious, as of yet underreported public health threat. 6/6

Rima Baransi, a Palestinian ballerina, was visiting Italy and fell in love with the melody of the street music. Her father encouraged her to dance saying "Come on Rima, dance for your father, do it for me."

StrayDogMenace.com is now live. A documentation driven platform tracking dog bite incidents, policy failures, misuse of public funds, and the human cost of India’s stray dog crisis. This is not anti animal. It is pro human safety and accountability. #StrayDogFreeIndia
