Let celebrate Makar Sankranti without Kites

Thursday, 10 January 2013 : PRESS Release by

Nisha Kunju (Administrator & PRO : PAWS-Mumbai)

Plant & Animals Welfare Society – Mumbai appeal to the citizen not to fly Kites as the manja (glass coated thread) kills, injures and many a time birds become life time handicaps every year. The... ill-effect is seen for long days after the day of festival too.

Please don’t fly kites especial area near to birds feeding areas, bird nesting areas, etc. and not to use glass coated thread or Chinese Manja which is very dangers to both birds as well as humans too.

PAWS-Mumbai team in 2012 Makar Sankranti rescued 2 Kite, 1 Sparrow, 1 Owl & 5 Pigeons from area between Thane to Ghatkopar and Powai, its good sign citizen are aware and celebrate the festival cruelty free.

If you see a bird in trouble please report to nearest animal shelter as early as possible and you can also call Fire Brigade by dialing 101 if the birds you want to rescue from height. Citizen can also call PAWS-Mumbai Rescue and First Aid Team from Thane to Ghatkopar and Powai Area on 9833480388 or 25968314.
