Pro Animal Gomera wishes a good New Jear
2009
The year 2009 has just begun and we
of Pro Animal Gomera would like to wish all readers. members and
interested persons luck and satisfaction for the new year.
We do not wish to thank just the
helpers who supported us during 2008 through their phone calls and
their e-Mails, but also the press which made it possible for the
Association Pro Animal Gomera to better introduce themselves to
the public and to help make known uncovered abuses.
2008 is ending and leaves on one
side many sad memories: a large number of abandoned and
mistreated animals, promises that were made and (again) never
fulfilled, and another year of fighting a disinterested
government.
2008 presented us with some wonderful memories. For
instance, the weak, almost starved, Pointer, Esperanza, who year
long, was chained to an oxidized metal drum is now living like a
queen on soft rugs in her new home in Germany, covered with
much love and affection... Banya and her four puppies, abandoned
in the mountains of La Gomera, now all happy with their new
owners... Tullo, a medium sized dog, abandoned and hit by a car,
couldn't have it any better as he has with his new adoptive
family... Diafy, an almost dead cat found in San Sebastian, has,
after a few operations. become a very beautiful cat and has found
a good home...
Every day we are happy about the
many animals we have been able to help during the past year and it
gives us courage and strength to do more.
2008 was also the year that we
began to teach the smallest Gomero's to help them understand how
one must properly take care of animals and that they must not
mistreat or abandon them.
We were able to win new members for
PAG and have many who have offered their willingness to help.
We are moving into the year 2009
with much hope and trust. We have planned many new projects
and hope that more people will help and work with us.
May this new year, for us and for
the animals, be good and successful.
We wish you all a good new year
2009.
