For Animal-Welfare Advancement

Greg, my friend from the Philippines needs our help and we can do that with writing emails.

It doesn't matter where we live and what animals need help. We as animal lovers have the powere to help and I hope you will all join in and start emailing to get rid of this horrible, neglected practise.

I am including his email to me. PLEASE HELP!!!

For Animal-Welfare Advancement!

Here are links and addresses which anyone of you, fellow-animal lovers, can use to help advance our fight against animal cruelty here in the country.

I hope you don't find this demanding.

I am planning to send other friends this plea, too. I am still in the process of making follow-ups to the Director of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) of the Philippines concerning the expose I made on a zoo in one island of the Philippines that feeds live cats, puppies and kid goats to their pythons and crocodiles.

This was covered by the television people here and has seen print on local papers. It has been more than 5 months and all I got from the central office is a faxed memo to the Regional Exec. Director of PAWB to check the matter. Although I have been sent a document signifying that the said zoo has complied with the needed certification and accreditation, it is not what our foundation, Animal kingdom Foundation calls a satisfactory response.

Included are the links where you can read about the matter and, please, if you can write by e-mail the director of the wildlife bureau, do so. I hope you can gather your friends to write, too, asking PAWB-DENR about recent developments of the case. I can only hope they will realize that there are animal-lovers out there who are very much concerned about the plight of the animals here.

Thank you very much, friends! Here's to the year that was which was filled with complacency. Cheers to the New Year which we wish to be filled with proactive energies!
