Network For Animals Usa Inc

NETWORK FOR ANIMALS CRUSADES AGAINST CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BY FOCUSING ON DIRECT ACTION, OFTEN IN FAR-FLUNG, OTHERWISE NEGLECTED PLACES AROUND THE GLOBE. WE RECIEVE NO GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND RELY ON THE GENEROSITY OF OUR SUPPORTERS TO CONDUCT OUR LIFESAVING AND LIFE CHANGING WORK FOR ANIMALS IN DISTRESS.

FROM AFGHANISTAN TO ZIMBABWE, WE EXPANDED OUR CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT DOG SHELTERS. DURING THE AFGHANISTAN CRISIS WE PROVIDED DOG FOOD FUNDING, IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE WE SAVED A MAJOR ANIMAL SHELTER FROM CLOSURE AND AGREED TO BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPKEEP AND CARE OF 500 DOGS AND 145 CATS FOR TWO YEARS, TO GET THE SHELTER BACK ON ITS FEET. IN TREBINJE, BOSNIA AND HERZOGIVINA WE ENTERED INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO BUILD THE TOWN'S FIRST PROPER DOG SHELTER. WE FEED 4000 DOGS EVERY MONTH IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.

NETWORK FOR ANIMALS CONSIDERABLY EXPANDED ITS WORK FOR FERAL CATS. IN LAMU, KENYA WE FINANCED AND ORGANIZED A MASS SPAY AND NEUETER PROGRAM FOR THE ENTIRE AREA'S LARGE POPULATION OF STREET CATS AND PROVIDED MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THE FELINE POPULATIONS. IN ZIMBABWE WE UNDERTOOK A STERLIZATION PROGRAM FOR A LARGE POPULATION OF STREET CATS NEAR BULAWAYO. IN GREECE WE SUCCESSFULLY BEGAN A MAJOR PROGRAM TO STERILIZE AND TREAT THE ENTIRE FERAL POPULATION OF THE ISLAND OF ITHACA. BECAUSE OF COVID TOURISM HAD DRIED UP RESULTING IN FOOD SHORTAGES FOR THE CATS AND ECONOMIC HARSHIP MEANT THAT AUTHORITIES HAD NO FUNDS FOR STERILIZATION. THE PROGRAM WORKED SO WELL WE EXPANDED IT TO THE NEARBY ISLAND OF MEGANISI.

FIGHTING THE CHINESE TRADE IN DONKEY SKINS IS A MAJOR NETWORK FOR ANIMALS CAMPAIGN. EACH YEAR THE CHINESE REQUIRE MORE THAN TWO MILLION DONKEY SKINS MOSTLY TO BE USED IN A COSMETIC CALLED EJAIO. THERE ARE ONLY 44 MILLION DONKEYS IN THE WORLD AND THE TRADE THREATENS TO WIPE THEM OUT. AFRICA IS PARTICULARLY BADLY AFFECTED BY THIS TRADE BECAUSE OF THE VITAL ROLES DONKEYS PLAY IN RURAL LIFE. WE SCORED A VITAL VICTORY BY EXPOSING AND HAVING CLOSED DOWN A DONKEY SLAUGHTERHOUSE IN TANZANIA WHICH WAS KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DONKEYS ILLEGALLY EVERY YEAR. IN THE WAKE OF OUR WORK THE TANZANIAN GOVERNMENT BANNED THE COMMERCIAL SLAUGHTER OF DONKEYS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IN SOUTH AFRICA WE RELOCATED 150 DONKEYS RESCUED FROM THE TRADE FROM THE SEMI-DESERT KAROO AREA WHERE THEY LIVED TO A MORE SUITABLE COASTAL AREA WITH BETTER GRAZING. WE ALSO INSTITUTED AN OUTREACH PROGRAM IN THE RURAL BELA BELA AREA TEACHING LOCAL PEOPLE THE PROPER CARE OF DONKEYS AND TRAINING AND ANTI-CRUELTY INSPECTOR TO MONITOR THE WELL BEING OF THE MANY TRANSPORT DONKEYS IN THE AREA.
