Ratan Tata’s Instruction.
[[Five-star hotels::A big, expensive, and fancy hotel offering luxurious accommodations, fine dining, etc., for the guests.]] are decorated and maintained so beautifully that one won’t even find a fly on their [[premises::The building and adjacent property that a firm owns or uses.]].
But, a social media post featuring a street dog peacefully sleeping at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Hotel (a five-star hotel) has gained attention.
The post-owner revealed the dog has been at the hotel since birth. Ratan Tata has instructed hotel staff to treat [[stray animals::Animals that don’t have a home and generally stay on the street.]] well if they enter the property.
Mr. Tata, [[Chairman Emeritus::It is used as a professional title to denote that the individual who holds the title has retired but retains it as an honour.]] of the Tata Group (the organisation that owns the hotel), is known for his love of animals.
Ratan Tata’s work for animals.
The Tata Trust (whose [[chairman::The person in charge of an organisation.]] is Ratan Tata) launched the Small Animal Hospital Mumbai to treat dogs, cats, and other small animals.
He has supported initiatives to protect animals, including an organisation that makes [[reflective collars::A type of collar designed to increase the visibility of the dog, cat, etc., wearing it so that they are not hit by passing vehicles. These collars are made of materials that reflect light, which shine brightly when illuminated by headlights or other light sources.]] for street dogs to improve their visibility to drivers.
He has encouraged people to check under their cars for any dogs or cats taking shelter so that they don’t get accidentally injured when starting the vehicle.
What can you do?
You can keep a bowl of water and food outside for street dogs, cats, and birds. Also, ask your parents to check for animals under their cars before starting them.
You can also spread awareness about animal protection. But also remember - never approach a stray animal without an adult.
