Could you please crosspost this to your groups? It would be so

wonderful if we could get people to visit these dogs to give them

some love, they have had such a terrible time and must be so lonely

during the week. If anyone could offer homes that would be even

better!

 

 

Much love

I went to visit some rescued dogs from Sri Lanka yesterday. The poor

things had been dying on the streets. . One was a 5 week old puppy

found on a rubbish tip. It was being pecked at by crows. They are in

6 month quarantine in Chingford at the moment. The place is

horrible. Each dog has an indoor run about 10 feet long. It has

concrete floors which are sluiced down once a day. They are not

allowed out of these runs at all so never get a walk for the whole

of the six months. It is barbaric and totally unnecessary. It makes

good money for the kennel owners. The saddest looking dogs are the

pets which have been brought to England from all over the world.

There was a tiny little poodle from the USA. It was so miserable. At

least the Sri Lankan dogs are three in a run so have each other for

company.

There was a man and woman from Iran who had prepared their own food

and were feeding their dog. They were extremely nice. Not all

Muslims are cruel to animals. The kennels are closed on Sunday to

visitors and have very limited opening hours during the rest of the

week. There should be open hours in the evenings and on Sunday so

that people who are working can visit their animals.

 

Here are some photos I took yesterday. The woman sitting on the

floor is having the dog which she is holding. She is the smallest

and was the one pecked by crows. She is going to visit every

Saturday until the dog is released in June. The dogs are very

subdued and just want attention and cuddles. The story of how she

managed to get them out of Sri Lanka is very interesting. It took a

lot of work dealing with some very corrupt officials.

 

Homes are desperately needed. They come out in May.

 

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated

our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt,

if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the

Devil in human form. ~William Ralph Inge
