The houses of this family were completely ruined after the disastrous effects of the earthquake at Batgram. They were carrying their belongings loaded on donkeys to a new place when they encountered the WSPA team on their way. The animals were weak and injured. The team provided medical assistance and treated the wounds- an effort to minimize the misery of the animals.

An affected family with no male members left at home – a distressing picture from Balakot. The women were living in a camp in miserable conditions. Their animals were devoid of shelter, dosage food and required treatment. The WSPA team reached to provide medical assistance to the animals – the animals on which the livelihood of the deserted women depend.

A local resident approached the team when they were tired and decided to take a break after a tiring and tedious day. His cow was badly injured and the poor man could not bear seeing it in misery. The team decided not to delay the treatment and went all the way with the man to his residence. This cow is operated almost at the midnight in the vicinity of Bagh. The concern of the owner is obvious in the picture below.

The team encountered a deserted poultry farm while they were on their relief work at Batgram. The roof of the farm had fallen and the chickens were left unattended. The animals were devoid of food for the last four days. The team not only provided them food but also looked after the farm until they were approached by the farm owners and the farm was handed over to them.

I am glad that somebody thought about the animals too. I know all the help reaching to people is too little but nobody was caring for animals. I also know that PAWS can not deal with this issue alone so I hope the govt also steps in.
My heart soared when I viewed the pictures of WSPA work to relieve animal suffering. I am so grateful you are there! Please keep up the good work.
Thank you WSPA for your selfless and untiring efforts. We applaud your compassion and perserverence in times of crisis. All life is sacred.
this is miracle
which could be ecpected from angels only
WSPA looks like angel
we cant expect such work for such a cause
Good Work WSPA
i searched the whole web ond only found this work on this site
why so
why such work have not yet been diplayed anywhere else?
excellent work, god bless you guys
WSPA is doing great work in Pakistan. Apart from the earthquake relief, they are constantly on the case of bear baiting in Pakistan.
Its perhaps too much to expect as they already have their hands full, but perhaps something can be done as winter is setting in and the evil game of Dog Fighting tournaments is about to begin.
