Japan Animal Rescues Dash to Save Pets Affected by Earthquake, Tsunami

The earthquake, tsunami and resulting nuclear reduce have devastated Japan during the past seven days. The number of people affected by the disaster numbers into the millions; however, there are also silent victims: the Pets animals. Many Japan-based animal organizations have experience rescuing animals after natural disasters, thanks to the many earthquakes that happen in the country each year.


However, few events competitor this earthquake. "From our experience of the great Hanshin earthquake on Jan. 17, 1995, we know that the number of homeless pets may be immense," said Elizabeth Oliver, chairman of the Board of Animal Refuge Kansai. "In the case of Kobe, most of the animals that came to us came from the emergency centers where people had sought shelter with their pets.

Others were ones that had been rescued from smashed houses or off the street by local people. In that one year we took in 600 animals, mainly dogs and cats, but also rabbits and birds."Animal rescue organizations mobilized quickly after the earthquake - and many are already working in the country. The challenge -- according to Japan Cat Network's Susan Roberts -- is be short of space.


"One of the biggest problems that we will be facing is the intense lack of existing sheltering facilities," Roberts told the Best Friend's Animal Society. "Though we plan to use fostering extensively, as we always have, it will be a real challenge to find places and space to put the large numbers of animals that are now in need of rescue from the tragedy areas."

Animal regulation a failure

The intent of the animal control bylaw concerning cats, as I recall, was to control the perceived growth of the population of cats in Saskatoon. It has turned out to be an ineffective set of regulations that only swelled the number of abandoned animals. The bylaw encourages people to abandon their unlicensed pets when faced with the high fines and pound fees. Running a red light will cost you about as much in fines ( $250) as for having an unlicensed pet. The result is that the Saskatoon SPCA and other Animal rescue programs are overloaded with untaken animals.


A more reasonable solution to the cat population problem would be a subsidized spay and neuter program, and a public education program to encourage responsible pet ownership. Yes, there's an income tested spay and neuter program offered by the SPCA, but information about it is scant. A more effective program would not be as showy as the River Landing project, but some changes need to be made if the city is serious about Animal welfare. The licensing fees that are currently being collected are simply a tax on pet ownership and an added managerial burden on our civic employees.

Time to obtain care of the pets

Mississippi legislators spend a lot of time listening and taking Pets care of the needs of frequent powerful interest groups represented by well-paid lobbyists. There is an "interest group "that doesn't hire lobbyists whose members can't even speak, but has needs that need to be taken care of this session. Mississippi has a problem with animal abuse. Many of the stories of abuse of pets make the news, but most don't. Law enforcement officers and Animal rescue groups know them all too well. Law officers also know that people who abuse animals are likely to mistreatment people and be involved in other crimes. 


Yet, there is little they can do, even if they catch the user. Mississippi is one of only four states that does not have a felony animal abuse law. The Senate has approved a bill to make cruelty to dogs and cats a first-offense felony. However, the House in the past has not been willing to address the issue. Even though it only applies to pets, dogs and cats, the powerful Mississippi Farm Bureau has opposed it. It died last year in the House Agriculture Committee, chaired by Rep. Greg Ward, D-Ripley. Ward should not block the bill. It's time for lawmakers take care of group that can't speak for itself - the pets animals - and approve a first-offense crime animal abuse law. Dogs and cats can't vote, but those who care about them can.
