Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 More reports and attachments available: please contact us. ======================================== To our dear friends: As you all know might Pradeep Nath and VSPCA cannot sit by when animals and the people who care about them suffer and die. Unprecedented flooding has taken place in Andhra Pradesh. VSPCA teams have the skills, experience and dedication to go out and help. We have helped in the past outside VSPCA during the tsunami and Orissa floods and we can go out again with your urgently needed support. To see our past disaster relief http://www.vspca.org/programs/floodrelief.php BREAKING NEWS MOST URGENT APPEAL LATEST REPORTS: 18.30 lakh People affected ! (almost 2 million) 475 Villages affected ! 83 Mandals affected ! over 60,00 cattle washed away ! 54,369 houses damaged ! 383,716 people shifted ! 243,656 people in relief camps ! There are no counting of other animals like Sheep, Goats, Dogs, Cats and others, related animals as the government machinery for animals under department of Animal Husbandry clearly works for the human welfare. As such all instructions priorities offered are for the humans. Our friends at the Mantralayam Goshala (cow sanctuary) consisting of 300 cows all of them have drowned as they were all tied and no rescue opportunities were available. Other small animal welfare groups are looking to us for our help to them as well. It is increasingly difficult to shift and rescue animals as there is no way of reaching the interior points due to flood water unlike human disaster management where personnel trained and equipped with swimming expertise , Life Jackets, Boats, and Helicopters and in numeral relief camps, such mechanism does not exist for our animals. Nature’s fury and human neglect has created immense problems for the animals. Impending upcoming dangers: Overflowing Rivers, Dams, and Lakes will result in more inundations especially low lying areas at the districts of Vijayawada, Guntur, Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Kurnool. Though the rains have stopped or lessened their intensity, the release of water from dams and over flowing rivers pose more threats than the cyclonic depressions. Our request: Are you there to consider and joining us in our efforts to do and salvage some support for the remaining abandoned and distressed animals? Are you in a position to give us you expertise, suggestions and ideas, support to provide the basic facilities needed for these stranded animals in these many districts to meet the needs? We cannot think of not helping and our attention is there to these living beings as they suffer and perish after the affects of cyclone. Please consider your benevolence as urgently as possible. As I write these few urgent words of help the Krishna River is overflowing dangerously and the third largest city of AP --- Vijayawada is under great threat of being buried under many feet of water! Please consider reaching out through us to help this region before so many meet a gruesome watery grave.
