The WSPA animal charity is responding to the current conflicts effects on working animals by pledging funds of US$10,000 to assist the Palestine Wildlife Society’s (PWLS) veterinary supplies.
The people of Gaza rely heavily on donkeys and horses as their primary means of transport for moving goods as fuel is scarce, but the health and wellbeing of these hard-working animals are deeply suffering during the current conflict. Many donkeys and horses have been killed by shrapnel, and those injured during the fighting are in desperate need of veterinary care.
The WSPA’s funding will enable PWLS to purchase such necessary equipment as syringes, gloves, saline and antibiotics to help save the lives of many injured animals in Gaza. Vets will be working alongside the PWLS to also administer first aid to injured dogs and cats that have been also been injured during the current struggles.
