ASPCA Esunami Update
ASPCA PLEDGES $25,000 TO AID ANIMALS AFFECTED BY TSUNAMIThe devastation wreaked by the tsunami in South Asia was not reserved for humans alone. Amazingly, many wild animals escaped the danger because they were able to sense the impending quake—but others were not so fortunate. Countless farm animals, dogs, cats and marine animals were lost, especially in India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, and many others have been left diseased and without food or water. Several international animal rescue organizations, including the UK-based World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), have rallied to action, and the ASPCA has lent its support to these rescue efforts.
"I am pleased to announce that the ASPCA will be pledging $25,000 in support of WSPA's efforts," says Edwin J. Sayres, ASPCA president. "They are currently dispatching their disaster relief teams on the ground to the hardest hit regions, in order to provide food and veterinary supplies for starving and sick animals." Urgent assistance is already being provided through the distribution of food for starving animals in India, and food and veterinary supplies in Thailand. WSPA anticipates providing support shortly for relief efforts in Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
In addition to WSPA, the International Fund for Animal Welfare is also working directly with affected communities to provide veterinary services and reunite survivors with their lost pets. Both organizations are now accepting donations for their Disaster Relief Funds at their respective websites, WSPA-USA.org and IFAW online. Please stay tuned to ASPCA News Alert for more information on the rescue efforts.
Rescuer Needs Support
I received an E-mail in refernce to a woman in need, she is involved in rescue and now her own dog is sick. The owman works on a farm and only makes $40.00 a week. Her car is broken down, so she can't get another job right now. They have set up a fund at the vet's office, if you can spare some money, this would be a great way to help out.
From the E-mail:
Haskell Valley Veterinary Clinic 2148 Haskell Rd. Olean, NY 14711 (716) 372 1759 The account number for Angus is # 13293 and tell them it is for Angus. They can take credit cards and debit cards or donations can be sent by mail. Just be sure to put the account number and Angus on the check. And although I would prefer that any donations go right to the clinic, I have agreed once again to use my paypal account if it is the only way people can donate. You will need to use my email address nklr@pivot.net and you do not have to have a paypal account to help. Please, find it in your heart to help one of our own with one of her own. The price of a happy meal or one of those fancy coffee's (latté?) add up quickly as we all know. And please, don't spare the prayers. Angus needs all he can get.Posted by Mickey at January 16, 2005 5:48 PM
