VIDEO: Field workers rescue THREE LITTLE PIGS

In the last quarter, the veterinary staff of our mobile sterilization clinics neutered thousands of animals, including Beautiful Mei (below) and Lily (see above), which were among the hundreds of animals that we transported free of charge to the place of their free sterilization / sterilization and back.

After animal control removed more than 150 rabbits from the home of a depressed local resident, PETA teamed up with two other shelters to neuter and meet the veterinary needs of the remaining animals on site. The staff of our mobile clinic is sterilized and sterilized 12 rabbits, including this one, is free of charge to their owner. Many of our sterilization and other services are free of charge for low-income families.

One of the hundreds of requests for assistance we received this quarter related to Zuulwho was chained outside and unable to escape when another chained dog broke free and attacked him. We immediately responded to the family’s call for help. The staff of our mobile clinic cleaned and treated his wounds and sterilized him, all for free. Zuul, who now lives in the building, is recovering. His family is among the nearly 300 PETA employees who helped maintain their companion animals from July to September alone.

PETA field workers continued to help animals such as Blackie (above), giving them access to food, water, shelter and shade. We also handed out free bags of dry food, treated parasites, trimmed our nails, refurbished dog kennels, provided water buckets, and replaced short heavy chains with 15-foot lightweight bindings.

Sharon was chained to a property (left) that we have been visiting since 2018. In January 2021, her owner died of COVID-19, and family members out of state left her and two other dogs – one of them. Crap (below) – tied to an empty house, checking them only from time to time. If not for our regular visits and care, these animals would surely have died. When we finally got them turned down in July, the PETA field officer on the tragic case invit

ed Sharon to his home (right). Sharon now enjoys the comfort of being a pet dog in a family that includes PETA’s other foster children. Two other dogs suffered significant psychological damage due to chronic neglect and isolation. One was so scared that it was impossible to touch her, and he was put to sleep for humane reasons. The pancake, who had lost at least a third of her weight, severely lost her hair, was infected with fleas and was covered with toxic ash from a nearby burn heap on the day she was rescued, was placed in a foster family. help her learn about life outside of this hellish property. She is infected with a heartworm (like Sharon) and both dogs require extensive dental work and specialized veterinary treatment. Pancake is recovering in a foster home and is looking for a permanent foster home that can meet her special needs throughout her life.

Via PETA Bark and books As part of the program this quarter, we handed out children’s books on animal topics to children we met in the field and in our sterilization / neutering clinics.

PETA also built and installed our second “Small free library” in underserved rural areas in partnership with award-winning writer Shelia P. Moses. We will keep books in it that will help children develop reading skills and empathy and kindness towards others.

DiamondA guardian brought her cancer-affected dog to PETA for end-of-life services. For those who cannot afford this vital service, we offer free euthanasia. Diamond’s guardians have filled out postcards asking their state legislators to ensure we can offer this help. In July, August, and September, hundreds of CAP family members (such as the Diamond family) sent postcards to their elected officials describing our services, including end-of-life patient care.

When an elderly pitbull mix Sheva stopped eating and drinking and became immobile, her guardians asked us to put an end to her suffering.

A kind local contacted us after finding brown tabby kitten (left), who suffered gruesome facial injuries with deep wounds infested with maggots. We quickly put an end to her suffering. In another area, we noticed a dying man orange kitten (right), who was too weak to stand up, lost an eye due to a severe untreated infection and was completely blind in his remaining eye. He, too, was quickly relieved of his suffering. This summer, PETA euthanized hundreds of wild cats suffering from conditions such as advanced upper respiratory tract infections, missing eyes, broken jaws, gunshot wounds, feline leukemia and panleukopenia, as well as ulcerated, infected, and ruptured eyes and paw pads.
