Four leggeds get better attention
Amidst all the different bodies that have come into being after the tsunami, the latest is the 'Tsunami Memorial Animal Welfare Trust' which is seeking an alternative way to manage the stray animal population without resorting to killing them.

The Trust will conduct a spay/neuter and vaccination clinic which will commence on Monday from 9 a.m under the auspices of the Colombo Municipal Council, at the residence of the Mayor.

And they were helpful in a sense. They took turns standing in the long queue that people had to wait in to get their food. And this was one queue they could not jump.
