Washington D.C.
5 January 2005
Neil Trent, Executive Director of the Humane Society International (HSI) announced the immediate transfer of $10,000 to the SOI Dog Project in Phuket, Thailand. SOI has taken the lead on care and feeding of dogs abandoned and/or injured during the tsunami. The funds will be used for both immediate emergency relief and for the establishment of a veterinarian clinic in Kao Lak, an area that was very hard. SOI, which is headed by Margot Park, is being helped in its efforts by SOS Wildlife Rescue, headed by Edwin Weik, and Animals Asia.
Park and Sherry Grant, director of HSI Asia. met in Phuket to discuss the situation and lay out plans for the relief effort. HSI is also providing other logistics support.
