Indore – Supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals India (PETA India) and Indore Animal Liberation, wearing giant masks of dogs, cats, and birds, will hand out free water bowls in Indore on Saturday to highlight the importance of helping animals avoid heatstroke and dehydration amid soaring temperatures.

Where:           Meghdoot Garden Entrance, Main Gate, Maguda Nagar, Scheme No 54, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452010

When:            Saturday, 16 May, 5.30 p.m. sharp

“PETA India and Indore Animal Liberation are encouraging everyone to make clean drinking water available to community dogs, cats, birds, and other animals, especially in the searing heat,” says PETA India Lead Media and Celebrity Projects Sanskriti Bansore. “These animals endure so many hardships, but we can all show them a little kindness – including by taking the simple, compassionate action of keeping a bowl of fresh water outside.”

Unlike humans, dogs can sweat mainly through their footpads and cool themselves primarily by panting. Birds, who do not have sweat glands, engage in various behaviours to cool themselves. High temperatures can cause heat stress and even result in death. On the streets of India, animals face numerous challenges – including hunger, abuse, and accidents – and many dogs and cats end up in shelters. Purchasing animals from breeders or pet shops and leaving companion cats and dogs unsterilised only exacerbates the homeless-animal crisis.

PETA India – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way” – also encourages everyone to keep animal companions indoors when temperatures are high and never to leave them inside parked cars, where they can succumb to heatstroke within minutes.
