Bo lists 5 ways to help Japan's animals & shares "Help" video

 

 
The power of our planet leaves me both awestruck and bewildered. My once pleasant dreams of treats raining from the sky and fire hydrants bigger than the Empire State Building are now haunted by images of destruction and despair. 

Occasionally, the heaviness is lifted from my slumbering heart as I catch glimpses of humans who, though stripped of all worldly possessions, don huge, infectious smiles as they are reunited with beloved pets they thought certain had perished. 

For those of you who like me have been profoundly touched by the tragedy in Japan and would like to help, I offer you 5 donation opportunities:  

Animal Refuge Konsai (ARK)

ARK will accept as many animals as possible, those made homeless from the TOHOKU-PACIFIC earthquake and tsunami which occurred on 11th March. Any donations will be used for the animals made homeless in this terrible disaster.

Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue Support Group

Like our individual groups, our collaboration will be staunchly no-kill. Any funds donated will be strictly and explicitly reported as well as expenses. Money and resources will be used strictly for rescue, care and support of animals in crisis due to the earthquake and tsunami. And while I first imagined cats and dogs, we can not yet know what animals beyond that we will be in a position to help.

WorldVets

In response to the recent earthquake and tsunami, WorldVets has reached out to the veterinary community in Japan, specifically in Sendai – an area affected by the tsunami where animals are reported to be isolated and injured. Working with a large coalition of Japanese animal welfare groups and international aid organizations, World Vets has already deployed a first responder assessment team and is currently mobilizing their resources to setup ongoing support activities.

World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)

Working with the Animal Disaster Response Team (a coalition of animal organizations, including our partner the Japanese Animal Welfare Society), the government and local experts on the ground we've developed a detailed disaster plan that will support animals in the disaster zone for the next three months but we need to raise $150,000 (USD) to make sure that every animal gets the care they need. 

 

Japan Cat Network

We are currently working with two other no-kill organizations on plans to get animals to safety, and have begun to help people with pets in crisis. We need volunteers willing to provide foster care, animal transport, expanded shelter capacity, and funds or materials for rescue/rehabilitation.

This is awesome. I'm refusing to play any of SMW until I finish the main game's dark world, but I'll probably give the editor a quick fiddle for fun.

Hey Bo,
It's great that you try to support those poor victims in Japan. It is so so sad and I deeply hope for a wonder.
Best wishes from Willi, who is also a Portie, but not famous at all : )
