The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Fiji has received 9 reports of animal cruelty so far this year while 79 reports were received last year.
Clinic and Shelter Manager, Shaneel Narayan says they have received reports where people have abandoned their pet dogs for weeks without food and water and people have thrown hot water on dogs. They have even had to put down injured dogs because of the severity of their infections.
During a disaster, evacuating your home is often necessary. You may have an evacuation plan for your family, but you should have one for your pets as well.
Pet owners often refuse to evacuate without their animals, so including them in your emergency plan is vital to the safety of the entire family.
Disaster Animal Response Teams across Vermont are committed to educating pet owners on how to prepare their furry friends for emergencies.
To further ensure preparedness, these teams have partnered with State Farm to provide go-bags for cat and dog owners, that include things such as collapsible water and food bowls, waste bag carriers shaped like dog bones, dog bite prevention coloring books, leashes and compact first aid kits, as well as cat and dog drawstring bags in which to store the items to be used during an evacuation.
