Help for Haiti's Animals

Courtesy of TheHorse.com, I bring you the following information about veterinary groups that are organizing a response to the dire situation in Haiti following Tuesday's earthquake:

The Christian Veterinary Mission, which has been on site in Haiti since the early 1980s, has trained more than 1,000 village-level animal health workers. "We are working with the Haitian people to assess the damage, respond to the immediate needs, and understand how to help once again," CVM Executive Director Dr. Kit Flowers said.

Heifer International also has worked in Haiti for more than 10 years and has multiple projects under way. They have set up an emergency fund on their website.

American Veterinary Medical Foundation also has an animal disaster relief and reimbursement fund available on their website.

If you are so inclined, I know these animal welfare organizations would appreciate your support in this crisis.
