Gemeinsam mit den thailändischen Tierärzten des Livestock Development Office, Hilfsmaterial der Sponsoren und freiwilliger Helfer der Insel konnten wir auf Koh Lipe bisher folgende Ziele erreichen:

1. Kontrolle der Hunde – Katzenpopulation durch Kastration
(ca. 400 Tiere wurden von uns bisher kastriert)
2. Impfung der Hunde und Katzen gegen Tollwut
3. Kennzeichnung der kastrierten Tiere mittels Ohrtätowierung und Kryomarkierung
4. Antiparasitenbehandlung (Endo- und Ektoparasiten)
5. Fütterung der Tiere (Ziel: auch während der Nebensaison die streunenden Tiere zu versorgen)
6. Aufklärungsarbeit an der Schule der Insel

We are glad to announce that we are – already five months after our very successful June visit – going back to beautiful Koh Lipe on November 18th 2011. We will spend three days operating, treating, feeding, and checking on the local animals.

This time, all animals that had been too young to operate on or had not been eligible for operations for other reasons, will be taken care of- cats and dogs totalling a number of 200, about the same number as during our last visit in June. This way, we will try to accomplish completing the castration rate which will mean that future visits will mainly concentrate on animal health.

Much has been and will be accomplished this year.

However, we need your support to make the island yet more enjoyable for locals, tourists, and animals alike. Foodstuffs, veterinary supplies of all kinds, transportation, media releases…all these things require funding.

All your support is welcome and will be wisely used.
