Kinship Circle Urgently Needs Funds To
Cover Our Haiti Animal Aid Efforts...
They're there. Haiti's dogs (and other animals). These commonly taunted street dogs were timid pre-quake, but are finally seen in some press photos. Kinship Circle is working round the clock with other animal protection organizations to get resources to them. There are many challenges: the scale of human tragedy, lack of security, limited access...
One obstacle we can overcome is lack of funding. Please help us ensure these animals get aid. We've been informed that packs of dogs have been spotted. We have expert volunteers on standby...but don't have funds to cover the work we've undertaken.
PLEASE SEND WHATEVER YOU CAN TODAY!
in Happier Days, One Haiti Street Dog Finds Love...
WeCanBuildAnOrphanage.com writes: Street dogs are poorly treated in Haiti with people kicking them throwing rocks at them. This makes dogs afraid of people for the most part. Because of this, children are taught to stay away from dogs and that they are dangerous. This repeats the cycle of people growing up abusing street dogs. The whole thing is sad — but at our little home for AIDS orphans we found room for one little furry orphan and we’re showing folks that dogs and kids can be friends!
January 12, 2010 changed everything for the Caribbean nation of Haiti
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake collided into its capital, Port-au-Prince. Human casualties are estimated beyond the tens of thousands, as the cries of people trapped beneath concrete begin to fade. Task forces and troops have assembled worldwide to aid Haiti's human victims. But Kinship Circle followers also want to know about the animals. The breadth of destruction in this disaster has been compared to Katrina. Still, animal repercussions are different.
Farm animals (goats, chickens, pigs) and native wild animals need help. A mostly homeless dog population, struggling to survive before the earthquake, needs comforting hands. In fact an unknown number of "community" animals await relief.
We've pledged our time, people, and resources to Haiti animal relief. Can you help us raise funds?
