Animal shelters needed in every Region

Jan 27, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I am hoping you will take a sympathetic view and publish this letter which is seeking to attract the attention of the government at this time to the dire and urgent need for Animal Shelters to be established in every region as soon as possible.
The issue of dogs, cats, horses and almost every other kind of animal, domesticated as well as wild, suffering the worst abuses and unimaginable cruelty is ventilated daily on social media. The horror seems to be never-ending, so the stories of the fortunate ones who are rescued, cared for and given a new lease on life in better conditions are very welcome.
These animals have a small but thankfully growing of friends who are giving them a voice. These friends are some of the most selfless, dedicated, brave and caring people living in Guyana and they are doing the best they can with limited resources. Some of them are making great personal sacrifices because they will do everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of any suffering animal. I salute these individuals and organizations.
It is time for the government to step up and do its part to support the valiant efforts of these unsung heroes. One way of doing this, is building shelters in every town or region and providing sufficient funding for employment of qualified personnel and efficient functioning of these shelters.
I am sure that a lot of people will be more willing to become involved in helping when they see animals in distress, if facilities for their care are located nearby.
Also, I hope the government will assist in another way by facilitating more sensitization of the issue of animal care/rights in schools.
At this time when so much is changing in our country, the situation with regards to the welfare of animals must not be allowed to stay the same. It also must change. For the better.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Ameer Hassan
