Funds to Help Yulins S'house Rescued Dogs and Cats

Donation protected

I first found out about the Monks in China saving little dogs in Yulin, as these little dogs are my first love - Tibetan Spaniels. My life has been a whirl with these little Tibetan Spaniels and I adore each and every one but when I seen China during the Yulin Festival...I cried for weeks...because here were my first loves being horrendously slaughtered in the most inhumane manner to end up on a dinner plate....I cannot ever in my l life time accept this way of treatment and to know the end result is a meal on a plate, this just sends me into true despair. The history of our Tibetan Spaniels, as other oriental dogs in Tibet , were bred in the Monestaries as little warning dogs to warn and raise awareness for the Monks of danger approaching the Temples. They were also companionship dogs to the Buddhist Monks and they learned to turn prayer wheels during prayer sessions.. When I found out that the Buddhist Monks , especially Master Guo, in China, was trying to save these little oriental dogs by intercepting and purchasing them before slaughtering...i looked at my own little ones faces and i just knew in my heart I had to do something to support and help Master Guo in his mission to save as many of these wonderful little breeds as he can through fundraising with the kindness and generosity of like minded people to myself. I raised money last year to feed the 1,000 already saved from Yulin in 2016 and 2017 and I therefore, have set up the fundraiser in the hope of sending the donations to Master Guo to support him in the purchasing of all dogs from lorries and slaughterhouses before there horrendous death. If you can help me in anyway...please do so...its for the dogs of China to survive and in their last days they need Master Guo to intervene and save their lives.        The Garden of Life has for many years been saving slaughterhouse dogs and cats since 2014.   Where they are can be found in our group Feed Chinese Rescue Dog on Facebook.  This group was created to feed all the little ones from last year but since I embarked on this venture to help them it has grown I have become more aware of how magical this Garden of Life Temple and its Abbot Master Guo Zhi really are.   This year Yulin slaughterhouse babies reached 500....there was a demise of 700 which were pre booked by the restaruants and as a result they went to their death.  This fund raiser was initially thought of as I found it increasing difficult to watch men of the cloth fundraise to ensure those monies go to the purchasing and maintaining of the dogs that they rescued from those slaughterhouses.   All these little ones are very ill , with broken bones, cuts. bruises and some have had partial skin taken off....how they survive is only for the good lord above to know...but those that do survive under the wonderful care of the veterinary teams drafted in which this money supports this cause.  I pray each and every day for their strength to return given the horrific trauma that they have been put through.  This fund has been for the last year the only external body submitting monies to help them purchase the dogs,  purchase their medicine,  purchase the teams to be flewn in and help and purchase all consumables and equipment they might need to preserve life.   Food is also purchased and it equates to about 4 tons of food a month.  There are over 1,000 dogs in the Temple now and over 1,000 other animals.  What a magical place this is as I said. and these lives would have been lost without Master Guo Zhi and his dreams.. t
