“Having lived here since 2004 and seeing so many abandoned animals in the villages and streets, many of them dying a slow death, it became my goal to find a way to realize a documentary about this alarming situation to be distributed at schools as it’s important for children (the future) to be aware of the growing situation of animal cruelty and the amount of dogs that are abandoned”.
“I also want to give extra attention for the great work people are doing in the various kennels throughout the country. They have to face so much cruelty and still be motivated to keep on doing the good work”.
I hope this website sos4pets will support them.
