EVANA: A merry veggie Christmas

Please help Sotto to lead a long and happy life in the safety of the VPCSA shelter in India

EVANA Campaign Christmas 2009: Goodwill to all animals

More and more compassionate people are questioning a ‘festival of love’, which year after year creates havoc in the animal kingdom. How can there be “Christmas peace and generosity” when many millions of sentient animals are being sacrificed on the altar of questionable holiday gorging?

Even though vegetarians have no part in this annual slaughter frenzy, there is still something each one of us can do to help individual animals: adopting them, fostering them or just sending some money to help feeding them. All these initiatives can take a little off the pressure with which animal shelters everywhere are confronted on a daily basis.

Please have a look at the fate of Sotto in India and see how you can help. After all, no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted and really can make all the difference for an animal in need.

For all human and non-human animals: A merry veggie Christmas


==============================================

Eileen Weintraub, speaker VSPCA, tells Sotto's story: Admittedly, we don't always know whether an animal that comes to us has been intentionally abandoned or injured. In this regard we are indiscriminate- any animal in need of help is worthy of our care. We exist because of our passion.

Sotto's near-tragedy and stunning recovery demonstrate the progress that can be achieved when good people cooperate towards the goal of helping animals who are threatened simply living in a world that often seems made for humans. Sotto was run-over by a vehicle in the congested streets of Vizag, leaving her with a badly broken leg.

A kindhearted student found her and phoned us. Coincidentally, Bosmat Gal our highly-skilled consultant vet, who is sponsored by Animal Rescue League of Boston to work in India, was at the facility and oversaw Sotto's care.

Through a careful rehabilitation program involving repeated tranquilization and redressing of her plasters, Sotto made a full recovery over the period from September 2008 thru early 2009. The cost of medical supplies, food, and the salaries of our staff and local vets — however meager they may seem by Western standards — add up quickly as we continue to carry out our mission.
