JAPAN – In a race against time, animal welfare groups are desperately trying to find abandoned and lost animals before they die of hypothermia and starvation. The other race is to get the pets out of the animal holding centers within 72 hours before they are put down. Global Animal is supporting rescue group by collecting money, 100% of which goes to the rescue organizations.
UK ―A recent study has shown that pets in England are not as well cared for as their guardians might think. The research shows that as many as 10 million pets are suffering mental or physical stress due to a lack of understanding the animal’s needs. Is your pet well cared for?
(VIDEO) You don’t have to speak Japanese to understand the sympathetic tones of the two men observing these two dogs who are also victims of the tsunami – and the loyal dog who led them to an injured friend, then refused to leave his friend’s side. You will be happy to know that both dogs have been rescued and are now in safe shelter. There is so much we don’t understand about the emotional lives of animals. But we know they can suffer tremendously, and we know they care for each other. We wish all the people and animals of Japan heartfelt concern during this incomprehensibly difficult time. We know that the people of Japan will respond like these two friends, never abandoning each other in this time of need. – Global Animal
