BEATEN, ABANDONED, FORGOTTEN — BUT STILL FIGHTING TO LIVE
Animals are being beaten, shot, and left to die. I am trying to save them — but I cannot continue without your help
In recent times, I have witnessed a painful change — not only in circumstances, but in people.
War, displacement, and severe living conditions have deeply affected mentalities. Sadly, some individuals are losing their sense of compassion and becoming increasingly harsh, even cruel, toward animals. What we are seeing today is not just neglect, but a disturbing rise in inhumane behavior against innocent lives.

While Lebanon faces ongoing hardship and instability, another silent suffering continues — the suffering of animals with no voice and no protection.

🐕 Dogs

In the seaside areas, I have witnessed heartbreaking scenes. Dogs trapped among inhumane individuals, beaten with rocks and left to die. These are not isolated incidents — they are happening around us, unseen and unheard.

I currently care for a dog with a broken back. Thank God, he is still eating, but his movement is very limited.

I also found, in the Bekaa, a young dog — around one year old — who had been shot in the face with bullets. He survived but lost his sight completely. He is now blind. A vet prescribed drops and medication, but there is little hope for recovery. He requires continuous care and follow-up just to live safely.
I also found 4 puppies near karantina area by the sea thrown in a cartoon box ,screaming from hunger ,thanks god I have them and all in good health by now ,awaiting adoption.
Despite everything, I do what I can every day. I rescue dogs whenever possible, feed them dry food, and take them to the vet with the help of a friend who works in a veterinary store. After recovery, I try to find them safe homes through adoption.

🐦 Birds

I also care for birds that fall from their nests — fragile lives that cannot survive without help.

I found a baby barn owl, placed in a small box by two children. I have been feeding it small pieces of meat, waiting for the day it grows strong enough to fly and return to the trees where it belongs.

There is also a baby raven that fell from a tall palm tree. Sadly, its wing is broken. I still care for it, hoping that one day it may heal and be able to fly free again.

Whenever birds recover, I release them back into nature — giving them a second chance at life.

🐱 Cats

As for cats, their suffering is just as heartbreaking.

I found small kittens abandoned under a Sukleen green tank after their mother was killed by a passing car. They are now being fed and slowly growing.

There is also a friendly black cat who lost her kittens last month during a storm, after giving birth in an open parking area.

Many other cats I care for suffer from broken legs, severe colds, constant sneezing, or even deafness. They require continuous treatment and follow-up. Once they recover, I try to find them loving homes — and so far, I have successfully rehomed three.

This work is not easy. It is emotionally exhausting and financially draining. But I cannot turn away from their suffering.

Right now, I am struggling to cover even basic costs — food, medication, and veterinary care. Without support, I may not be able to continue helping them.

These animals depend entirely on compassion. Without help, many of them simply won’t survive.

If you are able to support — even with a small contribution, or by sharing this message — it would truly make a difference.

Every life saved matters. Every act of kindness counts.
