Support for Cuba's Animal Protection Networks

__________

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Good Rebel was forced delay our 2020 veterinary supply aid delivery to the Cuban animal protectors. All supplies donated in the spring are being stored safely and will be sent down to Cuba with the next member of our support network to travel when it is safe and possible to do so.

____________

Good Rebel is continuing our collection of veterinary medicine and supplies, including those which are opened, used or expired, to deliver directly to a number of grassroots animal protection networks throughout Cuba.

The crushing trade embargoes, increasingly difficult economic situation and import restrictions in Cuba mean that the vets and animal protectors in the country are often unable to access basic medical supplies. These challenging circumstances are compounded by the fact that spay/neuter surgeries are costly in Cuba, so the number of street animals is abundant, and there are no animal cruelty laws in place to protect them.

Good Rebel has permanently extended our collection campaign, so that supplies can be dropped off to Good Rebel at any time, and will be transported down on a regular basis by local supporters of the Cuban animal protection network.

For a full list of the most helpful medications, which include basic pet store items such as flea and tick medications which are common in Canada but expensive, rare and truly life-saving in Cuba, please take a look at the

Cuban Animal Rescue website.
