- In this talk, Sally Varma speaks on how she and her team deal with the raging cruelty shown towards dogs, what goes into their care and rehabilitation and how a little compassion can go a long way. Sally Varma is an animal rights activist. Her wish to create peaceful coexistence between humans and animals brought up Sally Varma to shift her career from journalism to animal welfare. Believing that the world belongs to every living creature that is a part of it, she started a small initiative called Save A Life. Although it all started as a Facebook page, the initiative helped rescue and rehome many animals from all over Kerala. It also helped to spread awareness on animal welfare & its impact on human lives and the malpractices to which animals, especially farm animals, are subjected due to factory farming and cruel transportation methods. She has worked as a community engagement officer for the NGO Humane Society International/India and was involved in an ABC (animal birth control) program for Street dogs in Malappuram district of Kerala. She has completed her para-veterinary course from Worldwide Veterinary Services (WVS), Ooty and was honored by the President of India as one of the 100 women achievers of India for her work in Animal Welfare. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I'm a 16 year gir studying medical to become a veterinarian doctor and do something for those innocent souls (this rescuing, speak against animal cruelty is what my goal is) 🙂❤️ MAY I SUCCEED🤞🏻💞....will surely come one day to Tedx talks..plz do spread awareness among people... Don't call yourself an animal lover if you can't do anything for those souls.
I wish I could be a vet from young but I knew I couldn't make it. Hope you'll be a compassionate vet 1 day to help animals. But a strong one too, to deal with unreasonable humans and unimaginable cruelty cases.
No words. AMAZING Sally!!!!
3.6k views and 25 comments is a shame but I respect this lady for doing this
True
Keep going Madam..proud of u.
So true! So well said. Everyone suddenly up in arms when an 'incident' happens. Lash out at the voiceless! But the loudest complainers do NOTHING .Without funding, no conveyor, I have spayed / neutered 46 dogs. Why are the dog haters so helpless??? Maybe the just need to vent hate, on ones that cannot answer back.
a great talk! thank you so much
You are simply great 😍
I deeply felt and agree with every word you spoke, ma'am. My experiences have been similar. But yes, it's definitely worth it. 😊
Wonderful lady and Humane Society. Keep up the good work. I agree with all you say whole-heartedly.
Great job Sally!!! So proud of you!!
There were moments, when I was choked, frustrated, anguished as I heard about the atrocities by not so humane, human beings to these most adorable creatures. I don't really think we deserve such pure love in the form of these creatures when we as a society have become so shameless and morally corrupt!
Can't thank you enough for raising awareness around this neglected topic, Ma'am! I wish you more power and also I promise my bit for this cause.🤝
Proud of you Sally Dee ❤️ u r the angle for the animals.... Great job
Thank you so much mam for everything u did for stray dogs
Good work...admire your dedication to these street dogs. Hope that many more people will join you in giving the dogs a hope in life. Thank you.
Feel like trying. Thanks mam love you. I have same emotions...
Salute..
I got 8 dogs spayed/neutered free of cost last month in April 2024 from HSI, dehradun.. their services are amazing... Lots of thanks to Humane Society International!!

Good, very well said.
Sally ma,am,
I feel your pain and helplessness. It is a sad world we are living in, and I myself have been grappling with witnessing the overwhelming cruelty towards the most innocent creatures on this planet-dogs.
I boil eggs and get pedigree food for them everyday in a bag, and try to do whatever little I can do. But yes, lot more I can do, and I will keep challenging myself to do more. I pray that for every one dog abuser, there are ten thousand savior
You are spot on. Thank you for all your hard work, it's a tough job. There's no singular answer, maybe education and laws prohibiting ownership without taking a course could be included as a preventative measure. I have a 5 year old Border Collie, hurting her in any way is unthinkable, she is my adopted child. Just like humans, dogs aren't born bad, just bad owners and their environment. You are so brave to take on that job, good on you.
Keep going Mam👍Mam today's program was really interesting and gained more knowledge👌
So very true ..These angels behave..like we behave with them..Trust them ,they are pure souls
We rescued an injured stray dog few weeks back in Kerala. It was hard in the evening to find a rescue team. She was then in a different place, but helped 3 of us who got together to rescue the dog, to find a hospital, helping the dog to be admitted and throughout. Unfortunately the dog could not be saved, but the support she gave was immense. Hats off Mam.
I want her to come to Barrackpore,Kolkata and teach the people the right way to treat these beautiful animals
Why isn't t this trending!?!?

You r gr8 Ma'am...or kitne Nich log hote h ...but there are some good people also..like uh ❤️
The intro is copied from another animal rights TED talk...Very well said tho and you are doing really good work and thinking
Best thing to do is humans can do their work rather than disturbing the animals nd other living creatures.. I'm an animal rescuer, every animal cruelty should be stopped
😍😍
❣️👏
Dogs learn from their experience too. When they witness violence, it will make them fearful and lash out, just like humans will against a violent aggressor.
👍👍👍😇😇
So well said, hope the video is translated to Arabic and other languages that they benefit from your your experience before they poison and kill the stray dogs further.. Dogs have rights to live and share this plant as humans.. Stop cruelty by poisoning and killing the most loyal animals in this world!!!
Mam i want to work with you . How can i come in touch with you ? I'm from West Bengal.
I want to be a part of ABC
Stop cruelty on animals 🙏♥️
Mam can you pls provide some information that how can we prevent or control the cruelity that some bastards do with these innocent dogs and other street animals ???
Pls how can we control ???
kaash is video pe bh millions mei views hote...
what is a munda? I'm trying to search it and nothing comes up
How can people kill animals so openly, though i have never experienced like this in our area
Har Roz jhagarta hai.. Ek women 😡😡Wo Puppies ko Marta hai kya kare???
sorry, not sure how this is practical... lots people are afraid of biting dogs, and people like Sally are not there helping by rescuing the aggressive dogs... so unless there is an army of such workers, your solution of "compassion" is not practical. Mind, you I am not saying that what people in your narrative do is correct also. But just saying, love them and they will not bite, is like a snake charmer saying... just be confident and you can handle cobras like me.... Again killing or harming snakes is also very bad (And rightly illegal, just like dogs) but you must understand that not everybody has your skills, and you provide no solution to this issue, in your talk... heck you don't even provide a balanced overview of the situation, let alone a solution... and the irony is that the title says a practical solution...
