Dear Mark,

Wishing you a warm and joyful Christmas and a wonderful year ahead.

This has been our most challenging year to date, but with your kind support we’ve made some amazing progress. In 2014, we launched our most ambitious project so far – the transformation of a bear bile farm in Nanning, China into a sanctuary for the 130 bears inside.

To thank you for all your generous support over the past 12 months, I’d like to share with you a wonderful video of the bears enjoying their Christmas treat of fruity mince pies and coconuts!

Please go to my blog to watch the bears.

Thank you for giving these bears the chance to experience freedom and joy!

Spreading the message about the bears really does help them all – again a huge thank you for championing them at this time.

With bear hugs and blessings,

Dear Mark,

On behalf of everyone at Soi Dog Foundation, I would like to thank you for your wonderful support in 2014.

Thanks to you, thousands of dogs and cats have been saved from painful and cruel deaths.

With your support, the sick, injured and neglected have received the urgent treatment they need and you have given a second chance to orphaned puppies and kittens.

You’ve helped deliver crippling blows to the dog meat trade and thanks to you, construction for a new hospital has started, which will help save many more animals.

From all of us here at Soi Dog Foundation, we would like to wish you, your families and your beloved pets a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic 2015.

Thank you again for your wonderful support and with your help we look forward to saving more lives next year.

Serbia: Tik Is Also Very Seriously Ill, Just Like Tok. Thoughts For Them At This Time Please.

Serbian  Flag

Tik Badly ill

Danica Mirkovic Shelter Felix

FELIX

Tik has been wasting away over the last couple of weeks even though he eats normally and I fear he won’t be able to hang in for much longer. He is just too small and too delicate, one of those angelic creatures who simply don’t belong in this world.

Something has obviously been very wrong with Tik and Tok since they were born.

Their mutual devotion is immense, they’re constantly snuggling together and it seems they’ll leave together when the time comes, maybe within days of each other.

The vet has already tried everything he possibly could and now we are waiting and hoping, but hope is rapidly fading away…

Our past links to Tok; who is also very seriously ill:

Our thoughts are with Danica at this time, and with both Tik and Tok.

England: Introducing ‘NFWS’ – The National Fox Welfare Society.

England

nfws

I need to inform you about an English organisation which I have been supporting for many years.  I am a ‘Foxaholic’;  They are the ‘National Fox Welfare Society’ (NFWS).

NFWS.jpg 2

Photo – NFWS.

They have a brilliant website which ranges from giving advice and help to suffering animals – http://www.nfws.org.uk/fox-problems-fox-repellents.html ; a free cage trapping (of ick animals) service by specialist volunteers; has some brilliant T Shirts and other merchandise – http://www.nfws.org.uk/big-animal-face-t-shirts.html  ; as well as a host of other goodies.

Please visit the site at the following and see for yourself:

Website – http://www.nfws.org.uk/

Facebook –

https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Fox-Welfare-Society/608995775800729

By sending out mange treatment free of charge and offering advice on the mange treatment of any vulpine (fox) –  http://www.nfws.org.uk/fox-problems-fox-repellents.html , NFWS get a picture of where in the UK foxes are suffering from Sarcoptic Mange. NFWS want to try to do is get a monthly snap shot across the UK of the overall health of the UK fox population.

A free newsletter is also provided to supporters of the organisation.

After seeing the good and bad times of this dedicated crew, it is great to see martin’s dreams now come true – “My dream of helping foxes across the UK over 20 years ago is now a reality each and every day of the year, thank you all”.  Martin.

In their own words:

Welcome to the National Fox Welfare Society’s Website (NFWS) A site dedicated to the welfare of the UK Fox Population

Thank you for visiting our site and if you have any comments, suggestion or questions please email us here. Or send us an email at natfox@ntlworld.com .

We are a completely voluntary organisation that has been running now for over 20 years, dedicated to helping the Red Fox in the UK by providing rescues for sick and injured foxes, free treatments for foxes suffering from Sarcoptic Mange, free mange treatment advice,, cage traps for critically sick foxes though still mobile.

All our rescuers, Cage trap setters, fox cub fosterers, release site providers are all voluntary, so if you can help either financially by way of a donation or by joining our Society, this would greatly help our vital work continue. Furthermore if you are able to help hands on, please click on the appropriate link  below. In anticipation of your support, we thank you.

We at SAV support the work of this dedicated crew 110% – please visit the site and enjoy their host of excellent goodies and advice on vulpines whenever you can.

Serbia: 19/12/14 – New ‘Nani’ Photographs – We Want Her Freed Or The Campaign Moves Into The Next Phase Very Soon.

Nani 19 Dec1

We are releasing a few pictures of Nani in her current ‘facility’.

We are not going to say where this is at present as negotiations to release her are continuing.

All we can say to those involved is look at the international support that has been obtained for the Sasha shelter petition:

serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/12/13/serbia-urgent-petition-to-prevent-sashas-shelter-from-being-closed-by-nis-authorities-please-sign-now-and-crosspost-to-the-world-very-little-time/

Over 157,000 signatures obtained globally in less than 1 week !!

The eyes of the world are on Serbia and how it moves (or not) regarding animal welfare.

There could be a global follow up re Nani if things remain unchanged, just as we have seen with the Sasha shelter.

Despite a letter from the EU Enlargement Commission to the Serbian authorities suggesting very much that they enter into dialogue with NGO’s; there still appears to be very little movement on this front.

We have had NO correspondence from the Serbian authorities.

serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/12/01/serbia-england-eu-eu-enlargement-commission-now-writes-to-serbian-agriculture-minister-re-nani-deer-asking-for-dialogue-with-epar-and-sav-we-now-wait-to-see-what-happens/

We have the latest information on Nani deer, and will be publishing more very soon if we have no release news or any further dialogue information.

FELIX

Look what we have here !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAlKxCsGFJE 

We’ve just been pleasantly surprised with early Christmas gifts, a box full of awesome catnip toys!

felix 18 dec 1

The kitties are still a bit confused and don’t know exactly what they’re supposed to do with them, it’s been ages since the last time they smelled catnip, but they’re very interested and will soon find out how magnificent their gifts really are!

Thank you so much, Claire! These are probably the most wonderful gifts the Felix kitties will receive this Christmas!
