S.O.S Animals in Bangkok

Hey guys

I know I haven't blogged for some time now, mainly because I'm swamped with uni work (yada yada yada..I know..) but also because I've been wanting to write about a specific topic, but haven't had the right information to do so....

..so I finally found my source of inspiration thanks to SPCA and I'm gonna be talking about helping the animals in Bangkok who have become victims of the flooding.

Remember my post about the Japanese tsunami? And the superhero dog who made international news? I posted some links on how to help the animal victims back then, and its more than just for me to do the same now.

SPCA Malaysia is helping out with the critical conditions of the animals in Thailand through an organization called the Soi Dog Foundation and the Soi Dog and Cats (SCAD Bangkok). I've just watched the rescue video and it's heartbreaking to see all the lonely dogs swimming aimlessly in the floods. Its tough work even saving the dogs because they can be really aggressive! And after these poor dogs have been rescued, they are sent to a bridge where all the dogs are temporarily placed where you can see the volunteers feeding them too.

There are three ways to help out SPCA/SCAD Bangkok; either donate, volunteer or contribute medical supplies. Most of us are probably looking to donate :) but I can't tell you how tempted I am to volunteer myself. In case you are thinking of volunteering (which makes you cooler than me BTW) they need help mostly at the animal shelters. They are severely lacking in manpower and the jobs include documenting and caring for the animals, as well as helping vets with the treatments.

I really hope we can all contribute, if not a lot, a little to this organization. If you guys know of any other ways we can help out, please share them in the comments below. I always feel like it's an achievement to help our furry friends, no matter how small we think our effort is. Maybe it's because sometimes, animals can appreciate people more than people themselves...
