Please see the Newsletter online HERE Dear Friends, As the President of Karuna Society I need to have an urgent and serious word with you: “Without substantial local support, the outpatient department will be closed soon.” What is this about? For more than 25 years Karuna has provided free medical first aid, inpatient care and a shelter for animals in distress – thousands and thousands of animals: dogs, cats, cattle  and wildlife, all received our support!

Just like most of our donors, we want all the money coming into ...

Dear Friends, (Please see the Newsletter online HERE) I will just say how I see the change in the political landscape in the USA. It will be a disaster for all animal and nature related rescue efforts in the world. The longing for love, compassion, belonging and unity of all life forms will be suppressed by fear, misinformation, hate, power grabbing and abuse.
