Read the rest at the source.

In a place where we could do little else... the tally became a measure of one small thing we could do to favour life over death.

Animals are often forgotten victims of war and disasters. Hats off to all who will spare a thought for the poor animals who get caught up in the miseries of mankind too.

Good luck Scooter and family! .
