FOUR PAWS’ Post

EMERGENCY: Hundreds of animals have lost their homes as a deadly storm spreads chaos and destruction in Spain. We NEED your support! Three of our partner shelters have been all but completely destroyed as torrential rains, flash floods, and galeforce winds carved a trail of destruction along the country’s east coast. Worse, much of their food and medical supplies have been washed away in the storm. Our teams on the ground are scrambling to find funds for food, medicine, clean-up operations, and vital repairs. But with the authorities doing everything they can to save human lives, few are caring for the animals, and it is up to us and supporters like you to help in any way we can. We are ready to help immediately, but we need your support. The sooner we can rush funds to our partners, the more lives we can save – so please, give generously NOW: https://bit.ly/NFASER11L. 🐕 #NFAEmergency #NFADogs #NFACats #NetworkforAnimals #NFA #Spain #Floods #SpainFloods #ClimateCrisis #Floods #NaturalDisasters #PetRescue #AnimalWelfare #DisasterRelief #EmergencyAid #CharityInAction #Valencia #ProtectoraModepran #Sueca #MariasShelter #JadoulFoundation

We’re deeply saddened by the wildfires in Los Angeles, and our hearts go out to everyone affected—both people and animals. These disasters underscore the urgent need for emergency plans that include all animals—wildlife, farmed, and companion. In Canada, we know the devastating impact of wildfires, yet we still lack a national strategy to protect animals in emergencies. Humane Canada is working to change that. As a long-time member of the Emergency Management Not-For-Profit Council of Canada, we are collaborating with key partners, including the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs and the Red Cross, to ensure that all animals are included in emergency preparedness and response efforts. Your support can create a safer future for animals and their families.

The russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in a severe crisis in animal care. Countless animals are suffering from a lack of shelter and food. Despite the constant threat of shelling and occupation, brave Ukrainians are tirelessly working to save these animals. The statistics are shocking. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 1000 animals in frontline areas require serious treatment each month, the number of animals in shelters on frontline territories has increased by more than 100% and more than 500 shelters are in need of sponsorship. Providing food to these animals in Ukraine is an ongoing, never-ending need. We need your support to keep these dogs and cats alive and safe! Helping Paws is an initiative of Ukrainian American House, in partnership with Humane Society International responding to the pet crisis in Ukraine. Together, we have established a distribution network to move large quantities of pet food directly to the pet shelters who need it the most. By donating now, you can help purchase truckloads of emergency food to send to shelters caring for pets and other distribution centers within Ukraine.

In Pakistan, one must share the same sect to truly understand the pain experienced by others. Allah has endowed the people of #Parachinar (us) with exceptional patience (Sabr); otherwise, such suffering would be unbearable. This is a sentiment that can only be fully grasped by those who have lived through it. Many on LinkedIn, however, tend to focus on professional networking and engage with content related to popular figures or humorous posts, neglecting the very real and painful experiences of those undergoing hardship. Our society will never teach new generation our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), compassion and kindness. they only take how to smell good, how to cut nails but don't how Prophet PBUH was with others, Instead, molvis can misuse the Quran to further their own agendas, but failing to convey its true message. The Quran clearly states that "killing one person unjustly is akin to killing all of humanity, and individuals will be held accountable for such actions". The situation in our region has been exacerbated by the actions of both religious leaders (molvis) and establishment. Religious leaders (molvi) have perpetuated sectarian divisions, while political entities have supported these divisions for their own gain. Molvis teached them that doing war in Parachinar is like Jihad in #Palestine, If you want to go to Jihad come to Parachinar (Their blood is halal). Recently, there have been violent clashes between Sunnis and Shias in Parachinar over land disputes (Later changed to Sectarian as usual). This conflict has escalated, with various militant groups, including the Taliban from Afghanistan, FC & Army were involved, Takfiris and TTP from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, joining the attacks on our villages. The situation has led to over 45 martyrs and around 200 injuries. The injured cannot be transported to Peshawar or other cities due to the danger posed by local Sunni extremists, who are driven by a radical ideology. Thank you for amplifying our voice and standing in solidarity with us. #Parachinar #Kurram

The Parachinar incidents, a series of devastating attacks, left scores dead and injured, yet the response was muted. In contrast, a recent incident in Sindh, where a farmer's camel was brutally injured, sparked widespread outrage and empathy. Sindh incident saw people from all walks of life come together to help the farmer and his camel, raising funds and offering support. This outpouring of humanity is a stark contrast to the relative indifference towards the Parachinar victims. This disparity raises important questions: - Why do we prioritize animal welfare over human life? - Why do some tragedies evoke more empathy than others? The answer lies in our collective humanity. We must recognize that every life, human or animal, deserves compassion and kindness. Let us learn from the Sindh incident and extend the same empathy towards human suffering, regardless of creed, color, or religion." #humanlifematter #Humanity #voice
