Rescue Groups Unite !

[pandypam]

OVER 50 RESCUE GROUPS HAVE UNITED IN THIS VITAL ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT A HIGH VOLUME/LOW COST DESEXING PROGRAM.

PLEASE READ/SIGN AND SHARE.

We are pleading for some help and support for our domestic animals here in Australia.

As many of you will know, every year over 250,000 dogs and cats are killed!, the numbers keep raising and the cruelty associated with it is heartbreaking.

For many years small reg animal rescue charity's have worked at the coal face of animal rescue, saving dogs and cats on Deathrow from the many pounds around the country, many have also been assisting low income people with desexing their animals and working within their communities, they do all this on very limited funds and most involved are volunteers.

The USA/SPCA, BEST FRIENDS, SPCA New Zealand, Blue Cross/Dogs Trust UK, No KILL NATION etc and our own AWL with their G2Z plan, all stress that one of the first steps to reducing unwanted pets is for high/volume/low/cost/free desexing programs to be targeted at the lower socio economic groups who either cant or wont desex their pets, to all of us it makes perfect sense yes?

Not to the RSPCA who have NEVER had any desexing programs to speak off, they dont liaise with other smaller rescue groups and hence dont have a grasp of the problem and dont know where these "targeted" regions are.

We are asking the RSPCA to put some serious funding into implementing HVLC desexing programs ( targeted) in each state.

RSPCA NSW and RSPCA VIC have accumulated funds/assets of over $140 million dollars, they are the ONLY animal welfare group in Australia who are in a position to do so.

How long are we to sit by and watch as our major animal welfare organisation continue hoarding the public's donated funds?, the time for change is now.

We have put together a petition asking for this and plan to have TV/radio support.

We really need your help and support on this very important issue, why are so many animals born just to die?

The petition has only be going for a couple of weeks and already we have over 40 animal rescue organisations on board as well as 2000 private signatures in support.

Please take the time to consider our appeal for help and support on this matter and we look forward to hearing from you.

If you need additional information please contact Barbara Steffensen from "ANIMAL RIGHTS & RESCUE GROUP" Lismore NSW on
