Bangkok, 8 May 2025 – Over one month after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025, World Animal Protection and Let\u2019s Save The Strays, International continue their urgent efforts to assist affected animals, particularly in areas where critical infrastructure remains severely damaged, deeply impacting local communities and leaving many animals desperately needing help.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, over 1,000 animals have been treated for disaster-related wounds, fractured limbs, parvovirus, distemper, infections from fights, and life-threatening reproductive emergencies\u2014such as severe uterine infections and complications during birth\u2014in unsterilized female animals that became unexpectedly pregnant.
\nWe are currently feeding up to 800 animals per day, distributing food from our small office with the help of street feeders who reach the thousands of free-roaming dogs and cats scattered in the aftermath of this disaster\u2014surviving in garbage dumps, abandoned buildings, and monasteries.\u201d said Amy Shoff, Chief Executive Officer of Let’s Save The Strays, International.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand clearly that in times of disaster, both humans and animals require urgent assistance. Helping animals not only saves their lives but also provides comfort to the affected communities who care deeply for them. Our experience from the 2015 Nepal earthquake taught us that long-term planning is equally crucial to immediate relief efforts,\u201d stated Ms. Roatchana Sungthong, Country Director of World Animal Protection Thailand.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOne month after the earthquake, Mandalay continues to face severe challenges including disrupted public utilities, damaged roads, and veterinary clinics operating at limited capacity. In addition to immediate relief activities, World Animal Protection and Let’s Save The Strays, International have outlined longer-term plans for the next 1\u20133 months, which include:
\n\u2022 Rebuilding veterinary clinics to restore advanced veterinary care services.
\n\u2022 Scaling up vaccination programs to prevent disease outbreaks.
\n\u2022 Resuming the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) initiative as a key measure for controlling stray animal populations and reducing their suffering.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWorld Animal Protection has been committed to disaster relief for animals globally for over 50 years, delivering essential supplies such as food, clean water, veterinary treatment, and evacuation assistance in various disasters including earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and typhoons. Over this period, the organization has conducted over 250 relief missions, saving more than 7 million animals worldwide.
\nAdditionally, World Animal Protection actively advocates for integrating animal protection into disaster risk reduction frameworks, urging governments and communities worldwide to include animal welfare in disaster preparedness strategies.
