Years ago, Hugh and I trained with EARS — Emergency Animal Rescue Service — part of United Animal Nations (UAN). The training prepared us to deploy in the event of natural disaster. That’s my disclaimer, there’s a slight conflict of interest in linking out to an organization of which I’m a part. But it’s one of the few groups that mobilizes on behalf of non-humans when disaster strikes.
United Animal Nations and EARS volunteers operate like Red Cross volunteers — except they deploy on behalf of injured and stranded animals. UAN has been on the scene of fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods. And now, UAN is part of a coalition to help animals in Haiti: the Haiti Animal Relief Fund. If you’d like to extend a hand to the animal victims of Haiti’s earthquake, click the link above for more information.
