after the December 26 Tsunami
Animals
Thousands of pets (dogs and cats) as well as cattle (cows and goats – tied to trees) have died when left behind by their families. Thousands still alive – wander on beaches and in the villages starving.
THAILAND
SOI DOG FUNDATION – PHUKET - THAILAND said: , we desperately need to buy large quantities of food. Hundreds of dogs who relied on local restaurants are now starving as all the restaurants are gone. Some of our local volunteers are either dead or injured.
Phuket Animal Welfare Society cofounder and board member Leone Cosens was killed, apparently while trying to rescue others. Some local Phuket Animal Welfare Society and Soi Dog volunteers are missing

SRI LANKA
Dear all, We have now put an action plan for relief for Tsunami animal victims and are working on it. So Bob and I decided to ask you to help by way of funds. As clearing drugs etc is going to burden us with additional work and tiresome red tape both of us feel that funds would be the best way of gathering help. Beisdes drugs, pet food can be bought here. Overseas payments by credit card could be made via Animal People. Bob will email you the details. KACPAW account details are as follows:
