Animal Welfare in Turkey and Armenia

Again, I can't vouch for the group, but I was impressed by the heartfelt words and the picture provided of animal welfare in Turkey, Armenia and other neighboring countries. We hear so little from people outside of the Anglo-American world that it is easy to assume Muslims, Latin Americans, Africans and other groups have no time or interest in the matter. That is so untrue. Every time I read about something terrible happening in countries with less progressive or even non-existent animal protection laws, I'm moved to see that there is usually a group or an activist speaking out against the situation.

This is a growing movement. Human compassion and stewardship of the natural world should and can transcend all surface differences.
