1 | Morocco: Taking Care of Animals | Maraoka: Fandraisana an-tànana ny fikarakaràna ny biby |
2 | The American Fondouk is an animal hospital in Fez, Morocco that was founded in the 1920s and is funded through the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). | Hopitalim-biby any Fez, Maraoka, izay nitsàngana tamin'ny 1920 ny American Fondouk novatsian'ny Sosaity any Massachusetts ho fisorohana ny herisetra atao amin'ny Biby [Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals](MSPCA). |
3 | The hospital, which provides care for animals large and small, is staffed primarily by Moroccan veterinarians and staff members, however, it recently came up in the blogosphere due to the blogging efforts of a visiting veterinarian, Dr. Dan Biros of Boston. | Ilay hopitaly, izay mikarakàra ny biby lehibe sy kely, dia ahitàna voalohany indrindra mpitsabo biby sy mpiandraikitra Maraokana, na izany aza, vao haingana izy no tafàkatra teo amin'ny tontolon'ny fitoraham-blaogy noho ny ezaka fitoraham-blaogy nataona mpitsabo biby vahiny, Dr. Dan Biros avy any Boston. |
4 | Dr. Biros, who specializes in opthamology for animals, has been chronicling his work at the Fondouk in an official blog. | Dr. Biros, izay mpitsabo manokana momba ny mason'ny biby, dia nandràkitra an-tsoratra ny asany tao amin'ny Fondouk tao amina blaogy ofisialy. |
5 | In a recent post, he discusses the issues of pets in Morocco: | Tsy ela akory izay dia namaofivaofy tao amina lahatsoratra iray ny olana misy eo amin'ny biby any Maraoka izy: |
6 | It is not clear to me precisely how much knowledge Moroccan pet owners have about taking good care of their pets. | Tsy dia mazava amiko loatra hoe hatraiza ny fahaizan'ireo Marokana manana biby fiompy mikarakàra tsara ireo bibiny. |
7 | The human animal bond is universal, but there are distinct cultural differences regarding how appropriate pet care should be administered. | Manerana ny tany ny fifandraisan'ny biby sy ny olombelona, nefa misy fahasamihafàna ara-kolotsaina raha ny momba ny fikarakaràn'ny tsirairay ny biby fiompiny. |
8 | Issues of animal cruelty abound everywhere and it was for this reason that the American Fondouk was founded more than 80 years ago. | Hita n'aiza n'aiza ny herisetra atao amin'ny biby ary izany no antony nanangànana ny American Fondouk efa ho maherin'ny 80 taona lasa izay. |
9 | I am convinced that the Fondouk's staff members continuously help the local population understand what it takes to provide adequate care for an animal at every opportunity. | Resy làhatra aho fa tsy mitsahatra ny manampy ny vahoaka eo an-toerana ny mpiasan'ny Fondouk mba hahafantàrany ny tokony hatao hikarakaràna ny biby amin'ny fotoana rehetra. |
10 | This is not an easy task. | Tsy asa mora izany. |
11 | They work by example. | Miasa manome ohatra ry zareo. |
12 | It is very reassuring to see this each day I am here. | Mahavelom-bolo ny mahita izany isaky ny maha-eto ahy. |
13 | On the last night of Dr. Biros' stay in Morocco, he wrote: | Tamin'ny alina farany nijanonan'i Dr. Biros tany Maraoka dia nanoratra izy: |
14 | To me, paradise is not the utter fulfillment of one's desires and the absolute elimination of every bad thing; rather it is the act of giving and receiving, exchanging our gifts to one another no matter how great or small. | Amiko, ny paradisa dia tsy ny mahatanteraka ny faniriana sy manàla ny zava-dratsy rehetra ho anà olona iray; fa ny fanomezana sy ny fandraisana, ny fifanakalozana fanomezana na bitika izany na goavana. |
15 | Paradise is ensuring that we are an active participant, to the best of our ability, in this sometimes crazy world and consciously soaking it all in along the way. | Ny paradisa dia ny fanamarinantsika fa mpandray anjara mavitrika isika, amin'ny fara-herintsika, eto amin'ity tany toa adaladala ity ary milona tanteraka ao anatin'izany amin'ny làlana rehetra diavina. |
16 | No matter how one defines paradise, I feel that part of the definition is the wish for paradise to endure. | Na ahoana na ahoana no famaritan'ny olona ny paradisa, tsapako fa ny ampahany amin'izany famaritana izany dia faniriana ny haharetan'io paradisa io. |
17 | Finally, Dr. Biros wrote of his experiences on his last night in Fez: | Farany, manoratra momba ny zava-niainany nandritra ny alina farany nijanonany tany Fez ny Dr. Biros: |
18 | Alicia and I were invited by a Berber family for dinner and company tonight. | Nasaina fianakaviana ‘berber' iray hisakafo hariva sy hiaraka amin-dry zareo izaho sy Alicia androany hariva. |
19 | A man who sells carpets, a complete stranger we met only the day before in the medina, had us over for chicken couscous, tea and conversation. | Rangahy mpivarotra karipetra, vahiny tanteraka aminay vao nifankahita taminay ny omalin'iny tany Medina, no nanàsa anay hihinana akoho nokarakaraina miaraka amin'ny couscous [chicken couscous], hisotro dite ary hiresadresaka. |
20 | His wife and two teenage daughters were there and the oldest daughter made henna designs on Alicia's hands and arms. | Teo ny vadiny sy ny zanany vavy roa ary nasian'ilay zokiny indrindra sarina ‘henna' ny sandry sy ny tànan'i Alicia. |
21 | Henna is a beautiful ornate art of India and Arabia that goes back centuries. | Ny Henna dia sarisary fanaingoana fanao any India sy Arabia efa an-taonjato maro. |
22 | We talked of family and work, and shared the meal from a single large bowl as is traditional in Morocco, each of us using our own spoon. | Niresadresaka momba ny fianakaviana sy ny asa izahay, ary niara-sakafo tanaty vilia baolina lehibe tokana tahàka ny efa fomba fanao tany Maraoka, hatrizay, samy nampiasa ny sotrony avy izahay. |
23 | The apartment was modest but had everything one needs, a kitchen, family room and sleeping quarters. | Tsotsotra ilay efitrano nefa nisy izay ilaina rehetra, lakozia, efi-trano fandraisam-bahiny ary efi-trano fandriana. |
24 | It also provided a fine view of the medina from the rooftop, where you felt a bit like a bee in a large honeycomb. | Ahafàhana mahita tsara an'i Medina koa ny ‘terrasse'-ny, ka rehefa eny ianao dia toy ireny tantely kely anaty tohotra [avy amin'ny mpandika: ny tohotra dia tranon-tantely] lehibe ireny. |
25 | As we looked out at the labyrinth of the city we realized how very welcome we are here and at the very same time how very far away from home we found ourselves. | Satria izahay nijery ny ivelan'ilay tanàna dia nahatsapa tokoa fa tena tongasoa izahay ety ary tsapanay koa fa tena lavitra ny tranonay izahay. |
26 | How often would something like this happen in Boston? | Im-piry ny zavatra toy izao no hiseho any Boston? |
27 | The whole evening was mesmerizing and as dizzying as it was comforting. | Mampidonàka ny takariva manontolo aty, sady mahafanina no mitondra fahatoniana ihany koa. |
28 | This is paradise. | Izany ka paradisa. |
29 | Until we write again, M'a ssalama (peace and goodbye) | Mandra-panoratra indray, M'a ssalama (fandriampahalemana ary veloma) |

32 | The blogger behind Près du Puits also recently wrote about the Fondouk, where she took her cats to be vaccinated. | Ny mpitoraka ao ambadiky ny Près du Puits koa dia tsy ela akory izay no nanoratra momba ny Fondouk, izay nitondràny ireo sàkany hatao vaksiny. |
33 | The blogger said: | Miteny izy: |
34 | In Fez, there is an amazing, almost magical, place. | Misy toerana mahafinaritra, majika mihitsy aza, any Fez. |
35 | This is the American Fondouk, an animal hospital founded in the 1920s by Sidney Haines Coleman, who cared about the health of the working animals of Morocco. | Ny American Fondouk io, hopitalim-biby natsàngan'i Sidney Haines Coleman, izay mikarakàra ara-pahasalamana ireo biby miasa any Maraoka. |
36 | Almost a century later, the Fondouk - which means hotel in Arabic - still treats for free thousands of animals every year. | Efa ho 100 taona lasa izay, ny Fondouk - izay midika hoe ‘hotely' amin'ny teny Arabo - dia mbola mikarakàra maimaim-poana biby an'arivony isan-taona. |
37 | Lots of working animals - mares and donkeys -, but also cats and dogs (though I guess they didn't treat many of those in the 1920s). | Maro amin'ireo biby miasa - soavaly vavy sy boriky -, nefa koa ny sàka sy ny alika (na dia mieritreritra aza aho fa tsy mbola nikarakàra betsaka tamin'ireo ry zareo nandritra ny taona 1920). |
38 | She also shared a number of photographs of the fondouk and its patients: | Nizara sary maro momba ny Fondouk sy ireo tsaboiny koa izy: |
