8 Celebrating 50 years protecting animals
World Animal Protection.It is who we are and what we do.
And now, its also our name. Thank you for all your support as
we make this exciting transition. With this name, that tells the
world exactly what we are here to achieve, well be in an even
stronger position to deliver change that matters for animals.
While we take important steps into the future, its also a timeto reflect on what we have achieved for animals. This year
marks our 50th anniversary of protecting animals in disasters.
Our legacy began in 1964, when John Walsh travelled to
Suriname in South America to rescue animals stranded after
extensive flooding. Known as Operation Gwamba (featured on
page 8) his work saved nearly 10,000 animals.
That daring rescue effort set the stage for many more decades
of lifesaving work. For example, on page 4of this magazine
you can see how your support made an impact after Typhoon
Haiyan last year, helping communities rebuild and prepare
for the future. In 2013 alone, World Animal Protection helped
more than one million animals and their owners affected by
14 disasters.
This issue is a special tribute to our teams working tirelessly
for animals whenever a disaster strikes. Its also a tribute to
supporters, like you, who make this lifesaving work possible.
I hope you enjoy reading about all you have accomplished
for animals over the years and I hope you are as excited as
I am about what the future holds for animals and World
Animal Protection.
Sincerely,
Josey Kitson
Executive Director, World Animal Protection Canada

In November 2013, thePhilippines was hit by thedevastating Typhoon Haiyan.Known to locals as Yolanda,the typhoon tore through citieswith winds up to 150 miles perhour. Thousands of lives were lost.
Thanks to your generous donations, our Disaster Response Team deployedquickly to the Philippines to reach animals in need. Once there, we provided
food, water and veterinary care to over 17,400 animals.
Our team found sick and injured animals cows, goats and water buffalo
foraging for whatever food they could find. They saw desperate pets not
used to fending for themselves, separated from their owners. People shared
what little they had to keep their animals alive but struggled to find food even
for themselves.
The Philippines:responding to Typhoon Haiyan
Going mobile reaching farther for animalsWe know that getting skilled help and the right tools forthe job to where they need to go is critical in saving animallives. Thanks to your support we were able to train localvets with specially prepared lifesaving kits that are lightand versatile for travelling on foot or bicycle to otherwiseunreachable areas across the Philippines. These kits aremaking the difference between life and death for thousandsof animals.
Puppy LoveIn the village of Mamarang Sapa, three young boys broughttheir puppies, Liney, Lance, and Brownie, to one of World AnimalProtections mobile clinics. Our vets, aided by local volunteervets, gave the dogs medical injections and also provided foodfor the boys families. On learning that their dogs were now safe,the boys eyes lit up. One of them, eight-year-old MarJo, huggedhis dogs to his chest while saying Salamat (thank you) overand over again.

Dr. Ian Dacre
Even when I was young, I knew it was
important to look after animals. Sadly,
during my career I have witnessed much
animal suffering. But the sadness of some
cases is balanced with the knowledge
that as a vet I can make a difference.
Mme trs jeune, je savais dj quil
tait important de soccuper des animaux.
Malheureusement, au cours de ma carrire,
jai vu bien des animaux souffrir. Mais
malgr les cas les plus tristes, je sais que,
comme vtrinaire, je peux au moins faire
une diffrence.
Cinthya Diaz
I work as Logistics Officer on our Disaster
Team. Im the person in charge of taking
care of all the work behind the scenes
so our veterinarians can be fully focused
on delivering aid. The faster and more
efficiently we move, the more animals wecan reach. I love this work!
Je travaille la logistique de notre
quipe dintervention. Cest moi qui fais
tout le travail en coulisse pour que nos
vtrinaires puissent se concentrer
100 % sur les secours. Plus on travaille
vite et efficacement, plus on peut sauver
danimaux. Jadore mon travail!

Its always the sheer numbers of animals
in need that amazes me. The worst disaster
in terms of scale was the 2010 dzud (when
an extremely cold winter follows a summer
drought) in Mongolia. So many animal lives
were lost. One of the toughest things is thatit becomes very difficult to leave. When
were about to go, there is always one more
animal brought to us that needs help.
Cest toujours le nombre danimaux dans
le besoin qui me dcourage. Pour moi, la
pire catastrophe fut le dzud de 2010 (un
hiver particulirement rude aprs un t de
grande scheresse), en Mongolie. Jy au
vu tant danimaux mourir! Le plus dchirant,
cest le dpart. Au moment de partir, on
nous apporte toujours un autre animal qui a
besoin daide.
Gerardo Huertas
When I started this work, I did not know I
was getting into the best job there is. Every
story is great to tell, but helping animals in war
zones such as Afghanistan and Nicaragua
was a highlight, as well as our disaster
response in Haiti. The work I leave behind by teaching people to plan for disasters will
save animals for generations to come.
Quand jai commenc ce travail, je ne
savais pas que a allait tre le meilleur emploi
au monde. Chaque histoire est fascinante
raconter, mais le fait daider les animaux en
zone de guerre, comme en Afghanistan ou
au Nicaragua, ou en zone sinistre comme
en Hati, cest vraiment satisfaisant. Quand
cest le temps de partir, aprs avoir enseign
aux gens se prparer aux catastrophes
ventuelles, je sais que cest plusieurs
gnrations danimaux que jaurai sauvs.
Dr. Juan Carlos Murillo
In every mission, there is something
significant that makes all the effort
worthwhile. One highlight was looking after
sick dolphins in Guatemala and Nicaragua
who were kept in filthy tanks. Our mission
was to treat them until they were fullyrecovered and train them for release back
to the wild all the months of hard work
ended in one minute when we set them
free. That felt good! Although it can be
very challenging, working with animals in
disasters and helping people to look af ter
them better is a big blessing.
Chaque mission comporte des lments
importants qui donnent leur sens tous nos
efforts. Au Guatemala et au Nicaragua, jaiun jour soign des dauphins malades, qui
vivaient dans des aquariums sales. On avait
pour mission de les traiter jusqu ce quils
soient totalement rtablis, puis de les entrainer
pour quils puissent retourner leur milieu
naturel. Tous ces mois de dur travail furent
rcompenss linstant o on les a relchs
dans la mer. a faisait plaisir voir!

From the Executive Direc
Celebrating 50 years protecting animalsWe became World Animal Protection during a momentousyear as 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of protecting animalsin disasters. Our history began in 1964 with John Walsh andhis first rescue expedition: Operation Gwamba.
This rescue mission was launched when the Surinamegovernment reached out for help. Its people had beenevacuated because of flooding but the wild animals were leftstranded. The government wrote to Walsh asking for moneyand instructions, ending their letter with an ominous plea: Timeis short and the water rises.
During Walshs 18 month stay in Suriname, he rescued nearly10,000 animals, including deer, monkeys, armadillos, tortoises,sloths, anteaters, opossums, giant snakes, and more. Heassembled local teams and quickly assessed how to do thegreatest amount of good for the greatest number of animals.
This spirit drives World Animal Protections rescue work today.With response teams around the world, based in Costa Rica,Africa, Thailand, and India, we are prepared to deploy whendisaster strikes.
We are always looking to make the biggest impact foranimals. And so, in December last year we entered into aunique partnership with the International Federation of the RedCross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the worlds largestvolunteer-based humanitarian network. As we move into thislandmark 50th year of disaster management work, we will helpincorporate animal welfare into IFRCs livelihoods and foodsecurity work across the globe ensuring protection for evenmore animals and the communities that rely on them. With yoursupport, our teams are ready.
