Probably for everyone
involved on animal welfare , what I am going to say is not new but I am going
to do it anyway.
The relations among
animal welfare people are not good, I can say that they are really bad, we
spend the most of the time criticizing ourselves and defending ourselves than
rescuing animals that is supposedly our main existing reason, I have sincerely
my doubts about this, sometimes I believe that many people is inside this world
not for the animals, just for their egos , that is why I ask the donors to
check carefully to which organization are you donating your money, because it
seems that all of us we are the same and not we are not the same, I am not
going to say if we are better or worst, but obviously we are not the same, is
not the same o rescue 1000 dogs per year than to have 12 cats in foster and no
more, it is very easy to criticize the work from Scooby and while it happens
they don’t give a step further for doing the work by themselves , like it is
happening with some orgs in Salamanca and Zamora, I am still waiting to know ,
who is going to do the rescue if we are not there.
But criticize Scooby
it seems that it is an International sport. I don’t know if it is true or not
but just in case , I want to clarify everything, it seems that there is a
French woman ,leader of a French rescue org , she is phoning and spreading the
rumor that one van from their organization has followed the Scooby van to a
vivisection lab in Germany and they have the drivers, I suppose me, downloading
dogs at this lab and getting a lot of money on video.
Well, it is easy , if
you have this video , please publish it, I really would like to see it. It
seems that she is telling this to many French and Spanish orgs and it seems
that they are believing her, it is easy if anyone has any proof, please report
us, I am saying this because I am starting to be fed up of these things, not so
long ago I was aware about another rumor that we were transporting dogs to
Holland and we come back with the dogs converted into dog food , obviously
everyone can say whatever they want but be aware that if we get any proof of
this we will report it immediately.
Something to think
about, our van has space for about 30 dogs, depending on the size, now given
that each of them weighs 20 kg and in Holland they would "convert"
the entire dogs including bones and everything into dog food, that would
deliver us 600 kg of dog food, right? Buying this amount of food in Spain costs
us 240 Euro. The trip to Holland costs about 1200 Euros in total, so we would
need to transport more than 150 dogs to at least break even and driving would
just be for the fun of it. Hey, did you miss all your math lessons?
Almost the same with
the laboratory accusations, which lab would us pay a high amount of money for
our dogs and the huge trip when all they need are some uncastrated dogs (easily
to get in any country) who will provide them with dogs for free on a long term?
That is what they usually do, they breed their dogs their selves. Also for comparable results in the experiments.
Scooby has a huge
transparency with volunteers on site almost the entire year. Most of them come
back year after year because they find
the work that is done here worth to support. Do you think it would be like this
if they weren´t sure that we do the best we can for the well-being of our
animals and huge numbers of dogs would just disappear every now and then?
By the way just some
other facts. We have never crossed the German border with the van. We go to
Holland, Italy , France and Belgium.
All our transport
have their Traces papers so every single dog is chipped and it is officially
known where all these dogs go.
So again if anyone
has any proof, please publish it, I am absolutely keen on seeing it , and be
aware to which org are you donating your money, Kisses, licks and hugs from all
of us. FermÃn.
