Dear Patricia,

 

Thank you for contacting us in regard to the terrible tragedy that has

befallen Southeast Asia. In the wake of this massive tsunami that has killed

tens of

thousands of people, Humane Society International (HSI) is receiving numerous

reports from local humane organizations in the areas impacted by this

terrible disaster. At this time, HSI is assessing the animal situations in Sri

Lanka,

Thailand, India, and Indonesia and working with our many international

partners in the affected communities to deliver relief to animal victims and

their

caretakers.

 

An HSI advance team is in Phuket helping with animal rescues and doing an

assessment of what follow up work is required. The Phuket team is being headed

by

Sherry Grant, HSI's regional Director of HSI Asia. Accompanying her is Dr.

Putu Listriani Wistawan who is co-founder and Chief of Veterinary Medicine at

the Bali Street Dog Foundation. After making arrangements for follow up aid and

support, the advanced team will then be heading to Sri Lanka.

 

A separate team is being sent to Banda Aceh. This team is headed by Dr. Wayan

Mudiarda, a senior veterinarian with the Bali Street Dog Foundation. Ms.

Grant and Dr. Listriani, DVM, will meet up with them after Sri Lanka.

HSI is receiving monetary donations to support our local partners to provide
