Title: A WAY OF THE HEART
1A WAY OF THE HEART
BAJA DOGS, A.C. LA PAZ, B.C.S.
2We believe thatA TRUE HUMAN BEING IS
MEASURED BY THE WAY HE TREATS ANIMALS.
Mahatma Gandhi
BAJA DOGS, A.C.
3We are worried aboutThe abuse, torture, and
negligence towards animals (pets and farm
animals) that we are witnessing here in La Paz
and surroundings.Dogs being burnt with boiling
water. Cats sprayed with gasoline and burnt
alive.
4Worried about abuse, torture, negligence Dogs
and cats tied up with wire which injures and
kills them. Dogs, cats, horses under the sun
in 100 degree heat, living in their wastes,
without water or food. Dogs being run over by
cars whose owners prefer to let them die in the
street , rather than saving their lives.
5 WHERE HAVE WE LEARNED TO BESO CRUEL?
6It is known thatEarly cruelty to animals is a
warning sign children who inflict pain without
empathy often grow up to be psychopathic adults.
We worry that violence towards animals
will translate into violence at the school,
abusive adolescents, and hostile-violent adults.
7The rate at which violence at school is
advancing is alarming. Domestic violence is
also increasing significantly. WHEN VIOLENCE
REIGNS, SOCIETY SUFFERS.
8Dogs abandoned by their owners on far away
streets and highways roam lost and anguished
looking for their home and loved ones.Many pet
owners rich or poor do not consider a pet as
a part of the family, so they do not assume
responsibility of its care, or even value its
life.
9Proliferation of stray cats and dogs that suffer
terrible deaths by starvation, flea infestation,
sickness, or accidents Alone and destitute
they are also a health risk of our own making.
10BAJA DOGS is working EDUCATION PROGRAM In
coordination with the Ministry of Education (SEP)
we have proposed a modest education program for
kids from 5 to 7 years of age. We intend to 1.
Transmit to children the values of respect,
compassion, and awareness for the lives of living
beings.
11EDUCATION PROGRAM2. Make the children aware of
the basic rights of all pets and all
animals Have clean water, food and
shelter. Have a comfortable life, without pain,
with love. Receive medical care. Once in a
family, not to be abandoned because he grows up,
gets sick or becomes old.
12EDUCATION PROGRAM3. Inform the children and
their families (mother), how they can prevent and
cure common ailments (ticks, fleas)
13 EDUCATION PROGRAM4. Raise awareness of the
importance of sterilization for the well-being of
females and males, dogs and cats.
Sterilization Prolongs their
lives.Avoids them running away to find a mate.
Avoids the proliferation of unwanted, abandoned,
starving animals in the street.
14BAJA DOGS is working SHELTERWe are
finalizing the construction of the Shelter for
stray dogs for their future adoption. It has MANY
needs and would appreciate donations of all
kinds 1. All kinds of food, cans and kibbles
for adults and puppies. 2. Vaccines and other
medicines. 3. Voluntary work of all kinds,
social service students, and volunteer help from
Veterinary Science sector.
15THE SHELTER
I am Buffalo, and this is how they found me
full of ticks, skin to bone, and without hope.
Now I live in the Shelter and this is how I
look. Thank to BAJA DOGS, I am loved and cared
for by people who listen with compassion to
those of us without a voice
16To be able to extend the values to society, the
information about care and prevention, promote
the adoption program, as well as to implement
education tools, we need 1. A projector for
PowerPoint presentations and videos. 2.
Financial support in our promotion and adoption
campaigns.
BAJA DOGS, A.C.
17To be effective in the sterilization campaign we
need the support of a veterinarian and medical
equipment. We are coordinating our efforts
with the Ministry of Health (Secretaría de Salud)
to promote the benefits of sterilization.
