Haitian Animals In Crisis

Update!

Over one billion dollars has been pledged world wide to help the victims of the Haiti earthquakes. But we can’t stop there. As in every disaster, there are the helpless and silent victims. Stray animals, livestock and beloved family pets are often not included in rescue and charity efforts. I hope you will join me today in making a donation to “The Animal Rescue Site” specifically for Haitian animal victims. 100% of your donation goes directly to charity.

You can help animal victims of the devastating Haiti earthquake.

Since the devastating January 12th earthquake just outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, the world’s attention has been turned towards the overwhelming human need in this, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The need to help humans is immense. Humanitarian relief agencies from around the world are now taking the first steps to assist the hundreds of thousands of people in desperate need of medical care, food, water and shelter.

And, as is always the case with disasters like this, many animals are also suffering and in need of care. Haiti has an estimated 5 million head of livestock, a large stray dog population, native wildlife, and, of course, an untold number of companion animals.

IFAW has partnered with WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) to launch a coordinated animal relief response. Together they will lead a coalition of animal welfare groups to help the animals of Haiti. Their first priority will be to treat critically injured animals. They are also very concerned about the possible outbreak of rabies, leptospirosis, and other diseases that can pass from animals to humans, so they’ll be vaccinating animals as quickly as possible, as well as be distributing food, water, and basic medical care.

The animal teams are in the Dominican Republican preparing for this critical mission. They’re setting up a mobile veterinary clinic, and donations will help stock it with medicine, syringes, bandages, food, and other supplies.

Once the human relief efforts have taken hold and security is in place, and depending on the needs found on the ground, animal teams will deploy and begin their lifesaving work. No one is certain of all the challenges to be faced, but with your help, they will be prepared.
