Stray iCare- an initiative by iNaturewatch foundation

Unlike wild animals, stray ones are not protected by wild habitats and natural barriers that minimize contact with humans. And unlike domestic animals and pets, they do not have human owners who are responsible for their daily welfare.

And so, stray animals are an inherent part of human spaces, but they have little protecting them against the harsh living conditions of these environments and they are helpless against our own mistreatment of them. In fact, many strays have been part of our families and later abandoned to their fate, even though they don’t have the skills they need to survive outside our homes. We need to accept stray animals as a natural part of our world. They deserve our admiration, love, and care just as much as the awe-inspiring tigers we throng to see in national parks or the cute little Golden Retrievers whose goofy antics we an never stop recording.
