FROM JANE GARRISON, JaneGarrison@comcast.net
CO-FOUNDER, ANIMAL RESCUE NEW ORLEANS

AUGUST 12, 2006 -- Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (BETA) the only animal advocacy and rescue group in Lebanon is in need of veterinarians to help evaluate and treat the dogs, cats and non-human primates they are sheltering from the war.

Linda Nealon, a freelance animal rescue volunteer, just arrived to the States after spending ten days on the ground in Beirut with BETA. Linda hopes to return and can advise and help with transport and ground logistics to any veterinarian willing to make this trip.

Linda writes: There is food at the shelter but definitely not an overwhelming supply. If the war is prolonged this piece worries me. Vet supplies are limited and worrisome. Beyond that, a veterinarian who's better trained in current animal science would be huge. The ones they use feel more like makeshift vets that are okay in a pinch but not ones I would rely on for my animals. As I mentioned they don't have euthanasia medicine currently, that kills quickly, not enough stretchy bandages, not enough vaccine to vaccinate all of the cats, not any identification chips, no splints for broken bones, and probably a vet from the US would come in and see many more needs but I'm not aware of the differences between the meds the vets use there, and what we have. My instinct tells me some methods are primitive yet well intentioned.

If you are a vet considering this humanitarian venture for the animals, and need more information please contact:

4. The Animals' Exodus?
Americans offer to adopt animals from Lebanon.
Best Friends to organize the evacuation.
SOURCE: http://network.bestfriends.org/middleeast/news/6805.html

8/14/06 - When she appeared on ABC TV last Friday evening, Linda Nealon invited Americans to adopt the homeless dogs of Lebanon. Within minutes, more than a hundred offers came in.

The big challenge now is providing an AIRLIFT to BRING THESE DOGS TO THE U.S. so they can be placed in good new homes. "This will enable us to free up space at our sanctuary and bring in more homeless pets," said Joelle Kanaan of the rescue group BETA (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Linda Nealon had been in Lebanon all week as a volunteer at the BETA sanctuary. "The dogs are all friendly," she said. "And most of them are in pretty good health." Best Friends has committed to organizing the evacuation and housing the dogs at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary before they go to new homes across the country.

middleeast.bestfriends.org

"We're looking to airlift all 150 dogs from the sanctuary in Lebanon to Best Friends," said Michael Mountain, president of Best Friends. "That's quite an undertaking."

After Hurricane Katrina, several generous Americans chartered planes to airlift animals to safety in shelters around the country. "Some kind person can help work a miracle for these dogs, too," said Mountain. "If you're reading this and you can help us charter a plane to bring 150 dogs to the United States, you'll be a real hero to these pooches!"

5. Lebanon: Standing by the Animals During a Month of War
SOURCE: http://network.bestfriends.org/middleeast/news/6806.html

8/15/06 - BETA never stopped rescuing abandoned animals. As the war started, bombs began to rain on the southern suburbs of Beirut, reducing whole city blocks to rubble. In the deafening and terrifying sounds of war, BETA’s (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) small shelter holding 100 homeless dogs stood right on the border of the targeted southern district.

Some of BETA’s staff spent many nights in the shelter with the dogs so they wouldn’t be alone, terrified by the sounds of bombing close by.

Dogs have a hard time understanding war; it’s not something that they do themselves, and bombs can be louder than thunder.

During one of the worst of these times, Joelle Kanaan, co-founder of BETA, emailed to Best Friends, “We will never, never, never leave these dogs!”

middleeast.bestfriends.org

The BETA team stood faithfully by the dogs (and cats too, in another shelter), at great risk to their own lives. During all this time, they never stopped rescuing starving, thirsty, abandoned animals from the streets. Almost miraculously, they were able to move the dogs to a new shelter, still under construction.

Over this month, one million people left Lebanon. Roads, bridges, ports, the seacoast, television stations, power plants, the entire infrastructure of a country, now lie in ruins. Apart from the vast, unimaginable devastation, on a minute scale, this translates into myriads of everyday hardships.

In a war zone, even the simplest of tasks -- getting gas for the car (3 to 4 hours waiting in line for only 2 gallons) can assume exhausting proportions. The heroes of BETA have steadfastly protected their animals. Now, one month after the war began, this is BETA’s story of saving their animals:

Our Efforts Throughout the War
Since the 12th of July 2006, the BETA team has been struggling to alleviate the suffering of Lebanon's neediest animals.

BETA has welcomed abandoned animals into its shelter. In 31 days, 25 dogs have joined the dog shelter, while the cat shelter has become home to another 34 cats. Each of the abovementioned animals has had its vaccines administered, and has received de-worming and de-fleaing treatments, and any other treatment necessary.

In the first week of the war, BETA was forced to move its 130 dogs in two days from the previous shelter, which was located in a war zone. The dogs were moved in our cars, 3 at a time, and in a mini-van.

The new dog shelter is space at a pig farm, which was donated by a kind man. Needless to say, this space is in dire need of construction works. The place is therefore a dog shelter and a construction site at the same time. In other words, BETA is building a new shelter from scratch, which certainly requires many hours of work, and significant resources. Thus, with every incoming dog, a new cage is to be built and this requires a lot of construction material, in other words a lot of money.

As for the increasing number of cats, BETA is in the process of finding a new space to put the cats. We were always against over crowding and we still are… Much more news of BETA and the animals of Lebanon will follow-Ed.

''What we want to do is find a permanent paradise for these animals. Yes, I call it paradise because that's what they deserve. They are almost like children who will never grow up and will stay innocent for as long as they live. So a paradise they do deserve." -O.G. BETA

7. Person of the Week: Linda Nealon
Concerned New Yorker Rescues Dogs From Middle East War Zone
SOURCE: http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/PersonOfWeek/story?id=2303465

(ABC News) Aug. 11, 2006 -- During Hurricane Katrina, Linda Nealon braved the streets of New Orleans to rescue household pets. That experience gave her the courage to go to the Middle East to lend a hand at Lebanon's only animal shelter. "I had been in New Orleans rescuing animals there and saw how stressful it was and how desperate the need was and feel really lucky to be here," she said.

She came to Beirut from New York City, on her own dime, to rescue innocent victims of war and to work with the organization Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which four women founded several years ago. The workers at the organization were surprised when the American arrived. One of the founders, Helena Hesayne, let Nealon stay at her home while Nealon helped them in their rescue work.

The volunteer-run shelter was located in South Beirut, the neighborhood that took the brunt of the Israeli bombing. "Thank God we rescued these dogs from South Beirut before they leveled the place," said shelter volunteer Mona Khoury. "There was a missile one night that fell 400 meters from the shelter, and we found shrapnel inside the cages," said Joelle El Massirh, a volunteer at the shelter.

"We had to move them with our cars. In each car we had three dogs, and there were bombs," said Margo Sharawi, another volunteer at the shelter. "You could hear the bombs, and we kept saying, 'Please don't bomb us.'"

(ABC News)

Animals 'Doing Well'
The animals were traumatized when they were rescued from the streets, where some were sitting by the rubble, waiting for their owners to come home. "They're innocent. They don't know what's happening to them. They can't run away from the bombs," Hesayne said.

Two of the dogs, named Thelma and Louise, were found trapped in an apartment one week after their owners were killed. Others have lost their families for less tragic reasons. One dog belonged to a Saudi family who were in Beirut on vacation when the war broke out. They left, gave the dog to the doorman of the building where they were staying, and the doorman put the dog out on the street.

Nealon went to the war zone to help save these animals from trauma and distress. "They've been through bombing, noise that worries them being on the street," Nealon said. "There are three-legged animals, animals without eyes … and they're all doing well."

They have nothing to do with the politics of this war. But they suffer, too, a little less, though, thanks to Linda Nealon's help.

Nealon now heads back to the United States, to find sanctuary for the pets in Utah. About 150 rescued dogs will be up for adoption, and you can find more information by clicking here http://animals.beirut.com/. Or you can send an e-mail to Animals@beirut.com.

When asked if she ever thought she would end up in a war zone, Nealon said no. "And it's a little frightening, having bombs crack on all night long," she said.. "But it's a pleasure to be here."

USG Humanitarian Situation Report #21, August 16, 2006
Key Developments - Since the ceasefire began on August 14, approximately 200,000 Lebanese residents have returned to their home areas, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). This number includes approximately 74,000 Lebanese refugees who have returned from Syria, according to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Through support to multiple U.N. agencies and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners on the ground, the USG is providing assistance to returnees throughout Lebanon.

Of the 200,000 returning residents, the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) estimates that approximately 14,000 to 17,000 people have moved south of the Litani River. According to UNIFIL, approximately 2,000 people have returned to the villages of Beit Leif, Zidqine, Kfra Dibnin, Al Duharya, and Yarine, near Naqoura.

On August 15, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) requested continued concurrence for air, sea, and ground movement of humanitarian aid into and around Lebanon. The Government of Israel (GOI) warned that failing to seek IDF concurrence for movement may place relief convoys in danger.

Current Situation - As of August 16, the GOL Higher Relief Council (HRC) reports that 1,152 Lebanese have been killed and approximately 3,700 injured, according to OCHA. However, since the ceasefire began, an estimated 200,000 residents have returned to their home areas. The HRC reports that more than 40 percent of IDPs sheltering in schools and other public centers have departed. As of August 15, UNHCR estimates approximately 522,000 IDPs are still sheltering in public locations or with host families. As population movements subside and relief agencies obtain improved access, more precise information should become available.
