“In the hour-long UK documentary, Vets in the Disaster Zone, a team from the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) headed to the Philippines in November 2013 to assist in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda,” reports ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau correspondent Patrick Camara Ropeta.
Dr. Daniel Ventura Jr, Philippine project manager from WSPA, was quoted as saying, “The standards that I saw in the Philippines are very similar to many countries I’ve visited across Asia Pacific.”
He added, “Animal welfare is still a fairly new concept in many areas. Most people care for their animals and in the majority of cases, when animals are living in poor standards, it is due to someone not knowing what the animals need.”
