[4animals] Animals in Lebanon

[vaalea]

PS... IFAW has info on BETA (who is taking in animals left behind.??)

     At this very moment, brave men and women are risking their lives to help feed and transport hundreds of dogs and cats trapped in animal shelters being destroyed by the bombing in Lebanon. 



      Three separate shelters run by Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (BETA) are in constant danger.   Many of the dogs are visibly suffering due to the ongoing noise and near destruction.



      BETA and the animals in its care urgently need your help.  IFAW is preparing up to a $20,000 financial grant to help transport the animals to safety, pay for food, medication and shelter.

  Please don't take this the wrong way.. but with 40000 Canadians in Lebanon, and only 6700 evacuated (last numbers?) I would hate to see everyone bring their pets, and (if it would mean) leave esp. children behind. But same for taking out all the Canadians and leaving all the peaceful lebanese, it's just an awful horrible situation. It would be great if they could evacuate everyone and their pets.... everyone who didn't want to fight. 

  We should use that info on Stephen for the anti-dog/cat fur trade protests though.
