KATHMANDU (Xinhua) — As the lockdown is imposed in Nepal to contain the spread of COVID-19, it’s not just humans who are suffering but street dogs are too.
An animal welfare organization Sneha’s Care feeds and takes care of street dogs as these dogs, who were usually fed by neighbourhood stores, butcher shops and passers-by, are now facing difficulties to find food.
