Cries From The Water
Bangkok, Thailand — It might take Noah’s Ark to save them all. Dogs bark from rooftops. Animals are submerged chest deep. The skin rots, if underwater too long. Others paddle toward any surface taller than the water. Clinging to a tiny refuge, their howls and cries punctuate the night.
Kinship Circle works with SCAD Foundation (Soi/Street Cats & Dogs Of Bangkok) and Save Elephant Foundation — as part of a local ⁄ int’l coalition that includes: Soi Dog Foundation, Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT), Pic-A-Pet4Home, Humane Society International, Worldwide Veterinary Service, WSPA, and more. TWP Coaltion ⁄ Thailand Animal Flood Aid conducts emergency sheltering, field and water rescue, food drops, veterinary aid… Our disaster-trained teams are in Thailand for the next several months.
Thailand floods accelerated shortly after Kinship Circle, a nonprofit specializing in animal advocacy and disaster rescue, returned from Japan. Animal relief lingered months beyond Japan’s historic earthquake and tsunami when radiation evacuations near Fukushima’s damaged nuclear plant led to mass animal abandonment.
Kinship Circle director Brenda Shoss activated disaster response teams for Thailand when she learned about animals suffering in the country’s worst flood in 75 years. "We viewed satellite maps with a water mass that stretched from Ayutaya down across Bangkok, a city of millions. As one district pumps out flood waters, another fills. Some say the sewage-filled water won’t recede for months."
"We saw 10 or 15 dogs perched on one roof, marooned on porches, floating in cages. Monkeys, dogs, or other creatures crowded into Buddhist temples, animals clinging to trees over 6 feet of water…"
Kinship Circle seeks public support for it’s Animal Disaster Fund — critically low after back-to-back aid for animals in the Chile earthquake-tsunami; Brazil flood-mudslides; Japan quake-tsunami-radiation crisis; USA Hurricane Irene; and Thailand flood.
