Donations are urgently required to help I.F.A.W in their attempts at rescue work on an international basis. The organization relies on public donations as thousands of animals are rescued each year from many corners of the globe. I am looking at literature at this moment with photographs of dogs, one a walking skeleton while others had legs severed or experienced an act of cruelty by our standards at any rate, where no drugs were used to extinguish the pain. Once rescued they were treated properly each on a different case, some would need to have a leg amputated. Once recovered which under vaccine they respond are quite comfortable and adapt quickly to three legs and move quite well. The organization in its work has also assisted in major emergencies and been responsible for a large number of vital rescues. I am very proud to be associated with I.F.A.W and encourage others to become involved as together animal lovers can make a difference. members are encouraged to contact countries of interest at the time and have an issue to raise in that area of animal welfare. In a situation where there is not really a medical clinic to speak of then we are advised on the details. The Governing body is sought in an effort of reply to help raise the bar in these deplorable conditions. It is sought to raise concern and finance to train veterinary staff in these countries as well as the need for rushed supplies to these regions. In our most recent post South Africa was addressed with a real need as there is no aid to speak of. Training of veterinary staff is urgent and the shipment of supplies is also needed in this region
