Vet hospital cares for earthquake survivors and pets
The article highlights the efforts of Ryunosuke Veterinary Hospital in Kumamoto, Japan, to provide temporary shelters for pets displaced from their homes due to the earthquakes that struck southern Japan last week. The earthquakes resulted in 36 fatalities and infrastructure destruction. Since traditional shelters did not allow animals to stay with their owners, the hospital converted classrooms into separate temporary accommodations for cats and dogs, aiming to support those displaced who choose to remain with their pets during emergencies. This initiative follows previous experiences with disastrous outcomes in 2016 and underscores the importance of maintaining the bond between humans and animals during emergencies.
