Yaaaaaaaay! Great news and i also want to thank everyone that donated and shared and spread the word. We did it!!! Now all Chrom needs to do is recover. I am sure the surgery will be a success and hopefully Chrom will recover fast.

I will give another update once that happens. :)

Send positive thoughts to little Chrom. :)

"We are fighting to end the brutal practice in Asia of torturing dogs before slaughtering them for meat, out of the misguided belief that tortured dog meat tastes better or can provide health benefits. 

Due to a widely held belief that high adrenaline levels will produce tender meat and increase the supposed health benefits, dogs are sadistically made to experience extreme fear and suffering prior to death. They are tortured, dismembered, burned alive, electrocuted, crucified and nail gunned into walls, where they are kept alive to endure intolerable pain for sometimes up to 40 hours. Many of the toy breeds are boiled alive and then made into herbal supplements. 

Marc Ching has seen and video taped all of this firsthand, and even witnessed a dog strung up and burned alive with a blow torch right out in public at a local market where passersby were completely unfazed."


"The mission of the Animal Hope And Wellness Foundation is to shine a light on this very dark and barbaric practice. To expose the torture to the world in order to enact change and force the government to create laws to protect these precious animals from unfounded and cruel tradition." ~Marc Ching

I searched for a petition and although there are a number of them out there i think concentrating on one is the best way to get as much support as possible. Here is one on care2 that I think is the best: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/441/776/138/end-yulin-dog-meat-eating-festival/

Another petition, this one from Change. Org: https://www.change.org/p/mr-chen-wu-yulin-governor-please-shut-down-the-yulin-dog-meat-festival-in-guangxi-china

The Yulin Dog Festival begins in two days. Please sign and share the petitions, spread the word and let's end this barbaric, unnecessary and cruel practice once and for all.

Look out for a popular hashtag on Twitter/Instagram that will be used this year and that will help the movement more efficiently.

This is Chrom. Chrom has a condition called chronic urinary blockages. These urinary blockages only happen to male cats and causes them extreme pain and can even lead to death if the cat is unable to urinate. The doctor suggested Chrom to get the perineal urethrostomy (P.U. surgery) for cats, which essentially widens his urethra so he can pass any blockage.

"Unfortunately, we cannot afford this $3000 surgery and my parents are thinking of putting him to sleep. Chrom is only 4 YEARS OLD and has plenty of time left in this world. I DO NOT want to euthanize him just because we cannot afford a simple surgery."

I can only imagine how awful it must be for a person when he/she doesn't have the necessary money to help his/her pet. I found this post on Tumblr and decided to share here. Please if you can help by donating, that would be amazing, but just sharing is also a great help.

Let's help this little guy get the healthy again. :)

The proposal to lift the protection on the Golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) has been made by a majority of members in the energy and environment committee Tuesday last week. The goal of the new proposal is to reduce the population of Golden Eagles in the belief that this will reduce the deaths of livestock, like reindeer, which some believe are killed by Golden Eagles.

Norsk Ornitologisk Forening (BirdLife in Norway) has said that this idea is unfounded in the scientific evidence and is actually unlikely to result in a reduction of losses in livestock. NOF has shown scientific evidence that indicates that the loss of livestock to Golden Eagles is not related to the population density of the birds.

The new proposal is planned to be voted on in the Norwegian Parliament this week. Norwegian law has protected the Golden eagles and other birds of prey since 1968.

Kjetil Solbakken, CEO of NOF, says "Shooting Golden Eagles is unheard of in Europe. The removal of Golden Eagles that haven’t caused any damage will almost certainly…place Norway in the international Hall of Shame." Norway’s own Environment Agency does not support this weakening of the protections for Norwegian Golden Eagles.

The NOF has launched a petition to get the support for these birds. We need to show Norway that what they are planning is wrong and protect them. Please sign and share this petition far and wide:

Don´t kill Golden Eagles in Norway!
