Mobile phone app, schedu­led to be launch­ed on March 23, 2020, will track exact locati­on of wounde­d animal­sKARACHI: Save Our Strays (SOS) Pakistan, an animal welfare community, is launching a mobile phone application to make animal rescue efforts a lot quicker and efficient. According to the makers of SOS Animal Rescue, Pakistan’s first-ever rescue app for the strays, will detect the exact location of animals in danger and provide immediate aid through the nearest volunteers and vets. “The idea behind developing this application is to ensure implementation of rescue services in a systematic and organised way. The app will track the exact location of the wounded animals.”Ahmad said the app would initially launch for Karachi, Badin, Bahawalpur, Lahore and Islamabad, but eventually cover the whole country in the next phase. The SOS volunteers visit different colleges, universities and other public platforms to educate masses on humane treatment of stray animals, including TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, release) programmes for controlling population.
