Here's How You Can Help Animals Affected By Nepal's Earthquake

[Surya Gayatri]

In the wake of Nepal's devastating earthquake on Sunday, which killed more than 3,800 people, several animal welfare groups are getting ready to do their part.

"We understand the human dimensions of the catastrophe, now the focus of media coverage, but we expect to learn more about animal-related needs and challenges in the hours and days ahead," Rahul Sehgal, the director of Humane Society International's Asia division, said in a statement. "We'll be ready to help."

In a country such as Nepal, which is heavily agricultural, disaster recovery will depend on helping the animals as well as the people. And many of the displaced citizens have pets and farm animals who are in need of medical care, food and shelter — while other animals are now homeless or have lost their owners in the earthquake.

7. Thank you I will donate

If I was in such a disaster, I would worry for my beloved pets as much as myself. These groups are helping people by helping animals. Especially if your family depends on an animal for food as well.

9. The good health of their family yak or cow or goat means survival for these people...

10. Exactly

If your milk goat starves to death or dies from drinking unsafe water, your children could starve. This is important work. Thanks for the thread.
