Film of vets' work in India

 

Leslie St Veterinary Clinic will present a film on the work that its vets have been doing in India.

The film will be shown on Thursday, November 16, at 7.15pm at the clinic in Umina.

The film shows how the vets have been doing their work in conjunction with Maitri, a Buddhist centre in Bodhgaya, India.

Maitri has been sponsored by the Brigette Bardot Foundation.

The vets worked to eradicate diseases such as rabies, mange and worms "because not only do dogs and other village animals suffer, but humans suffer by contracting these diseases from the animals".

The cost of entry is by donation and refreshments will be provided.

For bookings, phone 4342 0500.

All monies collected will go towards vaccinations and treatments for Indian animals when the vets next visit India in two weeks time.
