Shocking Animal Rescue Footage (Earthquake and Tsunami aftermath) #shorts

Today, we wanted to throwback to 2018, when an earthquake lead to a tsunami and caused mass destruction in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

As well as a huge humanitarian toll, hundreds of animals were also killed or injured in the wake of the destruction, as the commotion and chaos of falling buildings caused them to jump out of windows or off ledges.

Our volunteer vet, Paula Delignies, encountered many cases of infectious diseases which spread swiftly among animals suffering from stress and malnutrition.

A large number of animals had also undergone behavioural changes because of the trauma they had suffered, leaving them extremely nervous, fearful and displaying compulsive behaviours.

More than two months after the crisis, wounded animals were still being found in the affected areas. The Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN) remained in the area, feeding animals on the street and doing all they could to help them.

An improvised clinic with basic equipment was later established to meet the ongoing need.

Our amazing supporters enable us to bring life-saving medical treatment to animals who need it the most. We are so grateful to all of you! Without your support during this time, many of the injured animals may not have survived!

  1. Thank you thank you. Thank you for helping cats too. Cats often get forgotten about because of the myth that they can survive on their own. Maybe their ancestors did but not domestic cats
