Our Concerns And Projects
The main focus of our work is the organization of sponsored castration and sterilization campaigns, which are the only successful method to limit the number of stray animals as well as the education of the island population regarding their responsibilities towards animals and the adoption and placing of homeless animals.
The small animal shelter of the RSP in Martinique is always overcrowded and in desperate need of expansion. The Association for Aid and Support of Creole Doga places a certain number of dogs in Germany every year. Currently the communities on Martinique are financing the killing of approximately 3000 stray dogs or dogs thought to be stray every year. The dogs are lured with food, stunned, thrown onto trucks and carried away to the dog pound for their destruction. The dogs are kept alive for only a few hours. The killing capacity amounts to over a hundred animals a day.
And yet the number of dogs is increasing steadily. A stray bitch lives on the average of up to six years, given that she escapes capture, poisoning or being killed by cars. By then parasites, contracted through a diet from the garbage dump and water from polluted puddles, have damaged her health so severely that she dies. She can become pregnant at eight months of age and give birth twice a year to on the average of four puppies until she dies - at least ten times. If only half of puppies are female, she can have 20 daughters, 400 granddaugthers, 8000 great-granddaugthers and 160.000 great-great-granddaughters, not counting her male descendants. Due to the high mortality rate among the puppies the population doesn't increase quite as rapidly. Suffering from malnutrition, the bitch usually has no more milk after six weeks. At that age the puppies can't survive on a diet of litter and polluted water. They die of thirst, starvation, parasites, worms and viral infections. When they leave their hiding places at this age and are discovered they can be strangled, drowned, beaten to death or simply left at a lonely place to die of thirst.
While we are still searching for sponsors for a spay and neuter clinic on Martinique as required by French law, such a clinic already exists in the Dominican Republic.
The clinic is in constant need of volunteers and supplies. The Dominican Republic is very popular among tourist from many countries. In the vicinity of the many holiday resorts strays are constantly in danger of getting poisoned when they rummage through the garbage in search of food.
The poison is placed there by hotel owners who are worried that tourists may be disturbed by stray animals.
Jamaica still lacks everything. The Animalhouse Jamaica, founded 1996 by Maureen Sheridan, is the only shelter for homeless animals at the north coast of Jamaica.
At least 150 animals are taken care of here at all times.
In Jamaica unwanted animals are often put in bags which are tied up and then thrown into the sea or simply into bushes. The Animalhouse hasn't received a lot of support in the past. Only four times during a whole decade volunteering vets came to castrate animals.
In April 2011 we had our first spay and neuter clinic with The Animalhouse. At present it is not possible to run effective clinics there due to organizational problems. But we hope that we will be able to establish a successful spay and neuter program in Jamaica in the future so that puppies won't be thrown away any longer like trash.
Please help us prevent these unwanted births. Every donation contributes to a sterilisation or castration and helps to prevent countless misery. Your donation is tax deductible.
