Mysore/Mysuru: People For Animals (PFA) undertook a rescue operation after receiving a distress call on July 19 from Chamaraja Double Road near the traffic signal about a defenceless Black Kite ensnared in dangerous kite string ‘manja’ for over 24 hours.
The injured bird was attacked by crows, making the situation all the more painful and dire. Manja is a kite-flying string with a mixture of finely powdered glass, glue, and other chemicals. It makes the thread sharp and strong, to easily cut other kite strings.
