Help save 1500 animals from becoming homeless

Help Save Irwin's Animal Rescue Centre from being shut down

Target:
To save the centre from being demolished by the Midvaal Town Council.
Sponsored by: 
Irwins Animal Rescue Centre is on the brink of being shut down due to  municipality/local council issues with the land.

The Centre has been open for over 20 years and has helped rescue thousands of abused, neglected and abandoned animals. Anne, who started Irwins in 1988 and has all the correct paperwork has done invaluable work and her love and dedication for all these animals is unquestionable.

The bottom-line: if the council succeeds in its plans to shut down the centre, the 1500 animals will be the ones to suffer %u2013 horrible to think of but if all 1500 of them can%u2019t be re homed, they will probably be euthanased.

having been open for such as 2o years i would believe that this center is running well and has all contacts to do an efficient job at rescuing. Why close a center that has already proven its impact when so many others are trying to open and will certainly take years before reaching the same efficincy.Please if she has all paper work fixed,let her do what we all should do.Maybe the county should support it and could probably use it at their own advantage in their next campain.

In my city there is one main animal shelter and it is on the verge of euthanizing most of the animals because it is so full. I wish there were more shelters everywhere. Everyone forgets about the animals that cannot say how they feel. If this petition helps keep one more shelter open then it is worth it.

these animals have no way of defending themselves, and every creature deserves to live ! these people are doing an amazing job , i admire them. To the midvaal town council i sincerly hope you get what is coming to you! Where do you expect these animals to go? My guess is you suggest putting them down? Who are you to decide whether or not these animals deserve to live or die? Think about your animals that you love so dearly, and someone coming and taking them away and putting them down. Anne loves these animals and you have no right what so ever do decide there fate!

Wendy Yukihiro USA, Steve Irwin did so much for the animal of the world. he and his wife and team have saved so many lives and brought so much joy into the world. He gave hundreds of animal second chances too. His family brought up this zoo to the point that so many people around the world knew who Steve Irwin was and still is. pleas don't let the dream die. and help save the Animal rescue centre from being shut and his zoo.

These greedy council people need to get a heart. What Anne is doing is right and just. With the recession going on there needs to be more Irvin Animal Shelters, less politics and even less cold heartless council people.
