We were able to help 17,250 animals last year. Do join me and take a moment to refl ect on the wonderful efforts by reading this annual report and acknowledging each and every member of the Blue Cross family who contributed towards easing the suffering of our animal friends. We redefi ned our organisation structure. Please join me to congratulate our seniour members of our staff for their promotions: Mrs.Kumari is now Chief Executive & Shelter Director, Dr. Mallik is Chief Veterinary Offi cer and Pravallika is our Animal Welfare Offi cer. A new member to our team is Dr. Muttu Palani. At our animal shelter we saw a large infl ux of volunteers, actively and enthusiastically working for the animals. A second lease of life for an abandoned and miserable little creature happens every time a kind person adopts. Such families are truly blessed. Foster care givers, community animal caretakers, rescue volunteers have made a world of difference to the animals ensuring the burden is not all left to animal shelters. God bless them all! Our Red Dog, ‘Max’, passed on last year. He had never experienced a kind word or gesture until he arrived at Blue Cross. Tied by a rusty chain all his life in a basement, he rediscovered how to move free and make friends among us. Animal abuse is a ghastly crime and happens all around us. Join us to put an end to cruelty. When we rescued a wounded horse from a horrible acid attack, his story inspired Law maker, Jay Galla to speak in Parliament about our work, requesting for an increase in fi nes for animal cruelty. A big thank you to Jay Galla! We need 50 law makers like him to ensure that the amendement is implemented. We initiated Mission Animal Welfare 2016 with efforts to train animal welfare volunteers across the 2 states and support the Government to start SPCA’s and ABC/ARV programmes in the districts. Blue Cross is truly blessed to have the support and faith of wonderful people working day and night for the welfare of animals, and all of you, our donors, supporters and friends. Please remember to keep the animals in your prayers, celebrate your special days with us by sponsoring their feeding and always extend a helping hand when possible. The satisfaction is immense. With best wishes from Nagarjuna and myself, and a big thank you ! Amala Akkineni (Founder/Chairperson) ANNUAL REPORT 2015 - 2016 3 HONORARY VICE PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear All, Always a pleasure sharing with you about the course of events of the past year. One more tumultuous year gone by with its victories and defeats. From the Kerala horror to the circus victories, from the growing cruelty in the dairy industry to the upholding of ban on Jallikattu by the Supreme Court of India. From an India where a more demanding human populace is claiming as its right, space and resources belonging to the silent animal world bringing with it greater violation of animal rights. Leading to an increased number of violations both in urban and rural India as the animal rights activists struggle to uphold the Indian law in the spirit it was meant to be. In spite of all this what is heartening is the fast growing army of animal rights activists who are organizing themselves with the help of technology, law and unity to build a strong wall of defense for our animal friends. Let us take forward this spirit to the 2016-17 to continue our struggle to end animal slavery and ensure that the animal world gets its just share in the resources of mother earth. Jai Hind!

  • Sharia in the City Negotiation and Construction of Moral Space
    SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food.

  • Standard Operating Procedures
    A-PDF Merger DEMO : Purchase from www.A-PDF.com to remove the watermark STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR STERILIZATION OF STRAY DOGS UNDER THE ANIMAL BIRTH CONTROL PROGRAMME Compiled by Animal Welfare Board of India Animal Birth Control (ABC) & Anti-Rabies Programme is being implemented in almost all major metros of India Over 1 lakh stray dogs are sterilized & vaccinated against rabies every year under the Animal Birth Control (2001) Dog Rules The Animal Birth Control Programme is currently being implemented in over 60 cities all over India, including major metros like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jodhpur and Kalimpoong. In Tamil Nadu & Goa, since 2007, the Animal Birth Control and Anti-Rabies Vaccination Programme has been successfully implemented for the entire state. This has led to Tamil Nadu state pioneering a new concept of a Participatory Model of the ABC Programme in 50 Municipalities and 5 Municipal Corporations, with 50% cost sharing by local bodies on participatory basis. Similarly, the Union Territory of Delhi too has adopted the Participatory Model of the ABC Programme since 2008. Tamil Nadu has also been at the forefront of rabies control initiatives, having constituted the country’s first State level Coordination Committee on Rabies Control and Prevention in January, 2009, with the first meeting held on April 20th, 2009. The Animal Welfare Board of India is promoting such initiatives throughout the country. In all Metros, where the ABC Programme has been successfully implemented in India, a significant reduction in the number of human rabies cases has been noted. The Animal Birth Control Programme is the only scientifically proven method to reduce the stray dog population in a city or town.
