Dear Fellow Pet Lovers,
I have decided to spend some more of my free time blogging for you- about the League's work.
There has been so many things happening in the last few months, that catching up will not be a piece of cake!
Prioritizing these events will also not be too easy, but I promise I'll try my best.
First, I'm going to talk about what AWESOME cooperation has been initiated in the IV. district of Budapest: Újpest, Hungary, home of the Pet Rescue League.
Zsolt Wintermantel and Tamás Terdik. Two names to be known for a person living in Újpest, two very important people who decided to help the League by giving their thirds to the action.
The mayor of Újpest, Zsolt Wintermantel decided that the Local Government also needs to contribute to the group's actions, so they started cooperationg with the League Members, by providing them some money for gas (about a 1.000.000 HUF/year), and letting them use any public place in case there is something nasty going on there. All along our phone interview, I could simply not stop myself from smiling: a person this important to a city speaking with such admiration and thankfulness in his voice... Seriously, I was awestruck for minutes after we finished talking.
I was thrilled to hear that the local Police Station, with its Commissioner, Tamás Terdik also got into the business:
The local police forces are weekly patrolling the streets with qualified League members, who, as Dr. Terdik said, sometimes can see such things happening in connection with animal abuse, that police officers might not recognize, as they are looking for some quite different sources of trouble.
The cooperation sounds absolutely fun, right? (I myself SO hope to be able to go on patrol with them one day... I think I might send a letter to Santa about it)
And about the publicity of the action + comments:
Not only the people involved, but also the residents are excited about the cooperation. As I've read the comments on their Facebook Page, people are happy to see policemen along the volunteers, making things swifter and easier for them, as only a policemen are allowed to take action on an official level, so dealing with animal abusers becomes more effective and quick than it used to be.
The Budapest Times also agreed to publish a piece about this, and I'm hoping to see more districts and even other cities to think about starting something like this.
Thanks for visiting & reading my blog!
Cheers!
