Compassion for Rats

Recommended Posts

Interesting that just recently while watching a documentary on TV there was included information on a town (I forget which country but a predominantly Buddhist culture) where the rats were considered sacred and they run at free will throughout the entire town and the people have set up a feeding station where individuals will bring food and present it to them.

Ketchup was extra.

 

Five years in South India October/ November to the monsoon plus lots of travelling to outstations in various states.

Fabulous time.

We were looking at the effects of industrialisation on water tables.

Beyond a certain industrial or touristic infrastructure hand dug wells tend to dry up.

The tube well project was one of the outcomes.

That's still going on.
