Social networking to "Save Animals"

I recently finished an interview of a person who devoted his life with one mission, though doing his full time job in an IT sector still he finds enough time for his love to save animals. Besides many orkut members Mohit Chaturvedi is one who has a noble reason to join orkut and making people aware of animals and there importance to nature and our habitat.

I am totally impressed and proud of being a host and an interviewer of a man who is alone fighting with those who have no love for animals.

Interview of Mohit Chaturvedi:

Zazo: The alarming situation of the nature and dieing species all over the world is really a topic to think and work on it, how many of us do care? most of us ignore what our eyes see but Mohit chaturvedi is not the one, He cares and he intended to be a part of this mission of saving nature and the beautiful animals, He owns the community "Love Animals Save them" and our community "Orkut's Hall of fame" has this member whom we going to talk more on his mission and intention.

Mohit: Hey thanks you so much but apart from this I want an awareness to create among us....while you see any crime towards animals...cruelty towards them.....please raise your voice......

-while driving on the highways you might come across people with bears & monkeys...they show some tricks and earn money...this is cruelty....and bears are wild animals can not be kept with humans....
-stray dogs get the most cruelty of it, they are the ones who die in road accidents.
-Cows they are the ones which are on mercy and now they eat up garbage thrown by us and major cause of death is polybags, sharp razors and other stuff which is not at all digestible which might hurt them either ways.....

It's all about creating awareness.....and will need support from people all over.....

Zazo: Mohit please give us a brief description about you.

Mohit: .I was born in Mathura...the birth place of Lord Krishna, a pure vegetarian, believe in Humanism......My father is a Doctor, mother is a house wife and a sibling, and I am married, & I am working with an IT company in Noida....

Zazo: Mohit how you started your activities on orkut.com? since when u r started coming on orkut and for what reasons?

Mohit: Initially got an Invitation from a friend and later found may old friends here, gradually it became a medium to share your views and communicate with people, this is how I got an idea to share my views with people by creating an community which was 'Save the Tiger', later I realized there is more to be done, my love towards animals started with a pet since my childhood, and now apart from that you have lot more to do, I think by saving our nature we will be able to give a beautiful world to our next generation to come.....

Zazo: Yes your community is growing and its active too, is it all about saving animals and nature? tell something about the community members? How they look on this serious and important issue?

Mohit: As of now very few responses which i get, to be very frank with you, but i am a PETA member and I do love to write a lot wherein I generally write times my voice, and as I said I want to create awareness among people, which has started working out, also charity begins at home, so this has started among my friend network, apart from that couple of queries came in from other members from my community where an incident was discussed by a girl that in there residential area during nights a cat(rather leopard, she was not sure) walks in, and she was not sure what to do about that, whom to inform regarding the same, I get less, but I try to give some time.....It's good that now people know and they are participating....

Zazo: Do you have a pet right now?

Mohit: Yes I have a pet, a lab.....

Zazo: Your community which started from the aim of "Tigers" is there any special interest or love for tigers you have? what are your comments on present situation of tigers in the world? pls throw some light on this species and his rough statistics.

Mohit: Yes....animals have always attracted me, especially Tiger the King of the jungle, our national animal, now which is in danger, we had 40, 000 tigers in our jungles till 1950, now they are just 1400 left.....and this is because of they are being hunted for their body parts, and most of the parts are either used as jewelry, or for medicines, and the cost which these people get after hunting them is huge for a tiger, also our govt system & policies are pretty old, the practices used to count tigers in jungles is by pug marks, and which is very old, so new techniques need to be used today, govt should wake up now as this is the high time, Ranthombre wild life sanctuary they were counting 25 tigers since five years and actual figure came out was just 3-4 tigers, now NDTV had recently started a campaign to Sav ethe tigers, which is supported by our PM, will hope for best if we are able to work out some thing to protect this animal.

Zazo: Are you involved in any other online activities than orkut? What are future plans you have for animal protection?

Mohit: Apart from this if write on Times of India(My Times my voice), plans to start an NGO for animals. my next point which I want to pick up is for cows, which are in a misrable situation wandering on roads eating garbage......which is sad....

Zazo: It was my next question but you answered me before asking :) I really feel sad too about cows, Cow is said to be a holy and very respected animal in Hinduism and still the condition of this animal is miserable what do you think about this ? Any good way to make this animal in a better condition?

Mohit: As I introduced myself my birth place is mathura,Birth place of Lord Krishna, and he had asked people to worship cows, not because it's the most descent animal around, but it gives most of the products for livelihood for so many people, the milk products, if you want to now how important is milk, ask a mother of a new born, cow's milk is said to be more better than mother's milk for a baby. so coming to your question that what can be done for them, we in mathura & vrindravan there are ashrams where there are gaushaalas worth 40,000-50,000, of different breeds, and each and every thing is useful, from milk to the cow dung and the cow urine, people might ask how, so my answer is that it goes in most of the medicines. and milk yes of course we all know, so we wish to take this kind of attitude to the next level to other cities, I have written to PETA as well for the same to sought help.

Zazo: Who do you think great personality doing good work for animals rights and protection? Do you have an idol?

Mohit: Maneka Gandhi of course......

Zazo: How much internet is helping you for your mission? I know ground work is important but is it possible without a team? what you have to say on this?

Mohit: I should say it's helping a lot....the Interview which i am giving because of Internet & orkut....it's all about communicating, and yes TEAM is most important, without a team I won't be able to do any thing, and i expect that i will get a good team..

Zazo: Mohit please tell us your likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests.

Mohit: My hobbies: Driving, Swimming, Computers Games, Music (soft), I like spending time with my family, dislike is driving in traffic LOL.

Zazo: Before ending this interview can you please put up a message to all readers of this interview? How others can contribute in this social work you are doing?

Mohit: I would like to thank zazo for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this community & share my views with all, I wish that we all should can start contributing same thing at least, if we al will contribute little bit, it will mean a lot.

-Educate & create awareness, educate people about how and what all to de, create awareness among people.
-why we should save nature: because one day we will be left with nothing in this world, and to our coming generations what we want to give, tsunamis, natural imbalances, natural calamities, definitely not, a beautiful world to live. Let’s start with planting trees in our neighborhood.
-If we see any cruelty happening anywhere, lets raise our voice, write to media, on internet, blog it.
-Lets start saving electricity & water, in our metros we have started facing problems for the same, all of you will agree with me.
-less of ACs at home and in cars(at least at times we can avoid up to an extent)

Thanks once again zazo for this opportunity.....:)
