Help The Pets

Posted on: 08/06/06, 17:16:57
The Environmental News Network published a story on August 3 about the status of pets in parts of Israel right now. Obviously, they're not doing too well. The animal welfare organization Hakol Chai is doing what they can to help pets that were left behind. Some pets were left with Hakol Chai by people who couldn't take the animals with them. Others were abandoned in the upheaval. Some volunteers still in Israel's northern towns have been patrolling the streets to help feed animals. And animal welfare organizations have put posters up asking people who are still around to put water containers on the streets and to contact them when they see animals in distress. See "Israelis Work to Save Pets Abandoned Because of Hezbollah Attacks," Delphine Matthieussent, Associated Press.

Humane Society International has an article (last updated July 28) and form where you can donate funds to help pets that have been "left injured and homeless in war-torn Lebanon." You can see it on their "Support Our International Disaster Fund" page.

Which, interestingly, was linked to from the Environmental News Network's article.

Well, everyone has pets.
