A couple of months ago I came in touch with a small group of animal advocates,  Nash County Animal Friends in Nashville (North Carolina). I could immediately see how that small group of volunteers (as usual, no men in their rank) had a drive and passion comparable to ours. They were no phoney couch animal activists, they had no egos and their leader, Carol Vierela, had been able to create a well organized working team. Those people had been gathered together by a twist of fate and they had one mission, to save as many animals from the cruel mouth of an ever hungry gas chamber that was, literally, devouring thousands of animals a year.

Those ladies had no agendas, they were there, saving lives, day after day, just like us!.

I was specially moved by one picture depicting Carol Vierela, the team leader, surrounded by kids holding handful of kitties, playing with them, embracing them. The idea was to give those kitties some love, to allow them to experience some human warmth so that, in the case they wouldn’t find a home and they would end up killed at least they would have experienced kindness for a few minutes.

I tell you, watching that picture I felt a fist in my throat.

I then looked at one of their albums… and in those albums I saw this…


Those are the faces of some of the animals killed since Nash County Animal Friends started working at the shelter. I was haunted by pairs of eyes that were no longer among us. I couldn’t be more horrified when I heard that those animals had been killed using the cruelest of methods, one specially abhorrent to Europeans because one of us invented buy cialis england it, asphyxiation in the gas chamber.

My mind went back to those kids holding the kitties, imagining the impact that this brutal state-sanctioned barbarity would have in those baby’s psyches. We used to speak of childhood as the age of innocence. In Nashville (North Carolina), those children had been robbed of their very souls!

In a way, what we have been doing in Nashville (NC) for the last month and a half has been as much saving animals as saving human beings. I am, on behalf of Let’s Adopt!, committed to achieve No Kill in Nashville. We have sworn to do whatever is necessary so that that long list of animals mercilessly killed doesn’t continue growing. We are going to show everybody in the United States and the world what a group of courageous people can do working as a team.

We have created an imperfect system that works. With every animal we save the system gets better, the logistics more efficient, and, amplified by social media our work reaches the world and sets a direction for others to follow.

We are building the most formidable network of volunteers, but in America, to put it simply, money talks. Right now every animal and transport to his home is costing us an average of 700 USD per dog, 400 USD per cat, much more if we include the costs of neutering each and every single animal. The numbers are frightening in their enormity and I wanted to share them with you because without you we will not be able to continue.

The animals and children of Nashville need your help. Please continue to our Gas Chamber Rescue Chipin… this is important… this matters…. Thank you. Viktor Larkhill
