update from Lebanon

August 4, 2006

More of the war rescues

Dear all,

To all of you who donated, supported and thought of us, we would like

to update you on the sad situation in Lebanon.

On the 28th of July, BETA team re-entered the Beirut southern suburbs

(one of the war zones) to feed the stray and abandoned pets. On the

way, we encountered an abandoned pet shop and were able to retrieve

some of the surviving animals - four cats and one puppy - pictures

attached.

On the 2nd of August, and for the third time, BETA team, accompanied

by a PETA representative who came all the way to Beirut to help our

animals, have been able to enter that same area. Again, we put food

and water for the strays and fed the rest of the animals at the

abandoned pet shop -pigeons, birds, and turtles- We will come back to

pick them up as soon as the pet shop owner unlock the cages.

We also visited the small zoo and made sure that the worker is still

there feeding the remaining animals.

All we want and hope for now is for this war to end as we are unable

to get to to the South of Lebanon. The situation there is really bad

for both humans and animals. The living beings of that area cannot be

reached at the moment.

Pictures of all our latest efforts can be seen at:

Some are of the pet shop rescues, some show the feeding of the war

zone animals and some are rescues of abandonned pets and strays.

Kind regards

BETA Team
