Last night Sangduen "Lek" Chailert wrote an empassioned plea on behalf of the many animals who are drowning in the floods around Bangkok, especially dogs and cats who have been abandoned in expensive areas, areas where the expensive homes are owned mostly by foreigners. She asked me to clean up her English grammar and then send it out to everyone. I tried, but find that when I edit her words, I dilute her message. So. I'll simply make a couple of comments and include her text exactly as she has written it.
I do not care what your nationality is, Please if you have abandoned your pets in a flood area, go back and get them!! As water levels raise many are drowning locked in cages. This is not the way to treat "man's best friend", it's certainly not the way you or would want to leave this life! Lek has offered to help. Call our hotlines and we will help you save the life of your pet. The text unedited message follows:
Dear All
After my fifth week helping to rescued the animals who victim from flood . Today our team still work in the area at Nonthaburee and Pratumtanee, province and the flood keep chasing us ,raise up high every day of our movement and try to help .
Our team has rescue between 50- 100 animal a day, someday work from early until after midnight trying to save their life if we can , what I have learned and experience from my past week to see the horrible picture of animals died all over around ,
The most tragedy we have seen are the big house in the land and house project have left the animals dying and suffer . Some of our team can’t go to rescue when we have heard screaming from the dogs who call us for help. We saw some of them have a couple inch to breath before the head will reach the top of cage , some of them already die. ,most we can’t open the cage because of the lock . We can help and manage to lift the cage to stay higher , the most worse part that some cage have build stick in the cement floor and it make our work are very difficult to remove the dog . some dogs stay up high now but the situation are still risky because of the flood are raise up all the time . We would like all of you have help us to spread this message to the animal lover to help us to call ask for the owner of pet who stay around flood area and have left the animal behind , please come back home to save them .
I would like the pet owner to remember that:
If any of you understand word “ The man Best Friend “ then you should value their loyal ,
Many house owner have argue with us that they now move to stay at the hotel and pet not allow , In this situation if you love you animal and as I work in the field I would like all will help to save the animal life Please attention for this message:
1 ) Please try to go back your place and bring your animal out or take them to stay at you second floor give space for them to living , provide them enough food and water. At the moment I have report from many house owner who have the problem with the thief go to steal belonging at their home and residence , your dog will be the best guard to look after you home , please release them free in the house and make the trip to visit them often as you can .
2) if they stay in the cage release them out immediately , if you need hand to help please call our team , to help to move your animal , but during we work we need the dog owner to be with us.
3) If your pet get sick we can help to provide the vet to look after your animals on emergency and after that you have to bring your pet to get the better treatment .
4) For any house at one floor and you have no place to keep your pet , we can provide the temporary place for your animal with free of charge and we expect you to have them back them back after the flood have gone
