SOS – Cape Verde Dog Rescue:
Dec-08:Jacquie Cozens asks that you "Support this great organisation for only £4 a month and raise enough money for a clinic over here on Sal, or even a neuturing session to start with would be kinder in the long run".
It’s a non-profit org – helping dogs and people in Cape Verde. We need one set up on Sal Island, similar to what has been started on the island of Santiago.

Cape Verde Cat Rescue - STOP THE KILLING
Jan -09: Jackie Costello says - A friend of mine lost her cat this week to poisoning. She had her for 4 years and she died a horrible death. Yet another poor innocent animal succumbed to an indiscriminate awful painful needless death. This story is all too common here on this Island.It is heartbreaking for the owners who took the time to take these poor animals into their homes and give them their love only to have them killed.
There are many of us here of all nationalities who have done this, but we are not the answer to a major problem here of animal neglect,cruelty, and indiscriminate culling by a cruel and senseless method. I for one want to try and change this and I am asking for your help. Many of us have spoken of various ways in which these problems can be addressed, however as far as I know nothing has yet been done about it.
Firstly I am starting a petition and asking anyone who is an animal lover or anyone who wants to see some sort of humane animal control introduced to sign it.I will submit it to the mayor and hopefully with enough signatures it will put pressure on him to introduce the following measures.
To provide funding for a responsible programme of neutering.
To Stop the use of poison for killing animals.
To introduce a heavy fine to anyone caught poisoning animals.
To donate some land for an animal sanctuary
This may be a tough task and many may say not a hope,but if we all work together and create a pressure group and KEEP up that pressure then something may be done.
I get sick to my stomach every time I hear of someone who has experienced their pet suffering, sometimes for days from Stricnine Poisoning, so please lets change this.
There will be copies in all the restaurants and bars in the coming week. And please pass this email to anyone who you think may want to help or get involved in any way.If anyone is interested in helping please contact me via email or my mobile or if not at least please sign the petition.
For those abroad, my email address is: jaqqi@hotmail.com

Thank you
