Today was a bit of a departure from the usual cases involving bulls, cows and dogs. A friend of Braj Animal Care discovered an injured baby nilgai, which is a type of wild antelope found in India.
The nilgai had been attacked by dogs and was bleeding badly. The team rushed to his aid and once the nilgai’s condition was stable, used our new e-rickshaw for the first time to transport the animal to safety. The e-riskshaw was purchased with funds raised from a sponsored walk through London, organised by our longtime supporter, Asmini Mehta. We express our gratitude to the whole group that took part in the walk in London.
Usually, neelgai are very shy, but he this one is unusually sociable. We think that he may have been kept by someone as a pet before escaping. Because he is so accustomed to humans, we have great hope for his successful survival in captivity. We will update you about him as his case develops.
