Imping underway at PfA

Prosthetics for peacocks, electro acupuncture for snakes and implants for the de-feathered may seem far-fetched, but are all in a day’s work for the good folk at Bengaluru’s People For Animals Wildlife Hospital (PfA).
PfA has been working behind the scenes in Bengaluru for the past 30 years, quietly rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing, furred and feathered friends in need of medical attention. Col. Navaz Shariff (retd), PfA’s general manager and chief wildlife veterinarian, talks about their rescue of a seven-month-old leopard cub hit by a bike.
With experience comes practical knowledge that may not always be found in the guidebooks. Though the cub sustained a head injury, it was not fatal and he soon recovered under PfA’s care. Protocol dictates rescued leopard cubs have to be handed to the Bannerghatta Biological Park.
