Dear Friend: Thank you for coming to the Mckee Project web site. I am asking you to help inspire any interested person or country, through the Mckee Project. You should know that Mckee is a very unglamorous cause, and Mckee has very little to offer you in return. But when you join us, you will make a huge difference in the lives of millions of animals who have no future, and who totally depend on humans to ensure the suffering stops. Mckee is working in Costa Rica extensively and has started small programs in Panama, Nicaragua & Mexico. We receive requests from all over Latin America on a monthly basis – your contributions will help us answer these requests with onsite training. What we need from you is simple, for you to write a check, or donate via Paypal with your credit card. We will write to you and let you know what we are doing: carla@mckeemail.org What animals face: a Cultural Disgrace in Latin America. Newborn cats and dogs are put in cartons and bags and are routinely drowned, discarded, or dropped in fields and on roads. Many “lucky” dogs which survive, are tied up on short ropes most of their lives, or are cut loose when pregnant, to wander and fend for themselves. Dead and bloated dogs hit by cars, litter the highways, and no one notices and it is maybe the only time the dog looks as if it is not starving. Serious health problems such as mange and internal parasites which cause fatal internal hemorrhaging are never even an issue, because veterinarian care is not the norm. Until recently, health departments, as a national policy, routinely poison dogs as a method of “population control”. Poisoning is a slow and violent death and if you see it one time, it will change you forever. Poisoning is the norm, for many people/neighbors, who do not like animals. And this is the visible sideIn Costa Rica, there are no public animal control officers, or places to put animals which are abandoned. And Costa Rica is one of the best places for companion animals in Latin America. Without a humane lessening of companion animal population, and a better educated human population, companion animals will never lead better lives. I am the founder of the Mckee Project, and I invite you to join us. And if you do, YOU will make a difference. I wish you could see just one life change; it is so rewarding. If you have any questions, please always feel free to write to me via: carla@mckeemail.org " Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man will not find peace". Albert Schwietzer Most of all, the Animals thank you. Christine Crawford Founder, The Mckee Project |
