chennai large animal rescues can be tough especially if injured animals like cattle have to be transported from one place to another thats why the blue cross of india has been approaching corporates for help last week indian oil corporation gifted the animal welfare organisation a large ambulance complete with a hydraulic lifting system as part of its csr programmewe approached the company initially they were unsure how they could help with animal welfare as most csr programmes are targeted at helping human beings but csr rules do include animal welfare as one of the approved activities says chinny krishna one of the founders of blue crossblue cross has two ambulances that are used daily for rescues but they are 12 years old and difficult to maintain we also needed a new one that would help with large animal rescues such as cattle and horses said chinny blue cross rescue around 100 large animals every monththe new ambulance which costs about rs 18 lakh has a hydraulic ramp at the back so we can easily load the injured animal onto the ramp and it can be lifted up and slid into the vehicle said chinny we get a lot of cattle injured in road and rail accidents and this will aid rescue he added
