Regaining the lost livelihood through rabbit rearing

E.M. Paulose lost his job a few months ago after pandemic hit his industry
Rearing bunnies is a hobby for many but it is a major source of income for the family of E.M. Paulose, 54, at Thaloor on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border during the pandemic times. Mr. Paulose was an administrative staff of a textile chain here. He was thrown out of the job a few months ago following the sudden spurt in COVID-19 cases across the State and the resultant closure of his shop. “As I had been engaged in textile industry for the past 14 years, it was difficult to get a job during the pandemic in our village. However, I could find some odd jobs like applying fertiliser and spraying pesticides in nearby plantain and tea farms a few days in a week, while running the rabbit farm,” Mr. Paulose said.More Related News
