The Bicol Region faced a devastating situation as Typhoon Kristine made an unexpected early landfall, bringing widespread flooding and severe weather conditions. While the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) had initially predicted the storm's arrival on October 25, 2024, Typhoon Kristine early arrival caught many unprepared, including animal shelters. The tragic incident of impounded animals drowning in flooded cages during Typhoon Kristineph underscores the critical need for improved emergency preparedness and humane practices in animal welfare. Animal welfare advocates are calling for proactive measures, urging pet owners to prioritize the safety of their animals by releasing them from confinement during natural disasters.
The recent devastation caused by Typhoon Kristine in the Bicol region has highlighted the vulnerability of stray animals, particularly dogs, in the face of natural disasters. While the region grapples with the aftermath of the typhoon, a disturbing trend has emerged: pet owners neglecting their animals by leaving them chained or caged, exposing them to the grave risk of drowning during floods. This practice raises serious concerns about animal welfare and underscores the urgent need for responsible pet ownership, especially in disaster-prone areas.
The Bicol region is still recovering from the impact of Typhoon Kristine, and animal welfare organizations are calling for urgent support to help animals affected by the storm.
While the strays and shelters of AARA and SARA are reported to be in good condition, TAARA (Tabaco Animal and Rescue and Adoption) is still in need of assistance. Although the strays have returned to the shelter, there are ongoing needs.
