On the ground in Mexico and the Caribbean

Our teams are providing relief to animals in areas affected by Hurricane Maria and the earthquakes in Mexico. [HSUS logo]( {NAME}, thank you for standing with us during Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. I wanted to update you on our disaster relief efforts in the Caribbean islands in the wake of Hurricane Maria and in the aftermath of the deadly earthquakes in Mexico. Our work extends into Puerto Rico and Mexico—two places where we have colleagues and deep roots with animal welfare programs. It's heartbreaking to hear about the immense damage and loss, and threats to animals none of us could have anticipated. Following the earthquake that struck Mexico less than two weeks ago, our colleagues at Humane Society International/Mexico set up an emergency clinic in the severely affected area of Oaxaca and provided treatment for more than 1,300 animals. And now members of HSI’s team are rushing back to the area hit by the second earthquake. The team has already distributed more than seven tons of cat and dog food, and they're working with local groups and shelters to provide more assistance in the days to come. The images and stories coming out of Puerto Rico are chilling, with animal shelters destroyed and people and animals in dire circumstances. We’ve worked closely with those groups through HSUS’s Humane State program and our responders are headed there as soon as flights resume. There’s nothing fair or easily explained about this series of powerful hurricanes—but together with our Humane Society International team, we will continue to do everything we can to help those affected by these tragedies.
