00:00In the heart of the conflict, thousands of animals suffer in silence.
00:03The region of Catatumbo has been hit by violence and forced displacement,
00:08which has created a serious humanitarian crisis, affecting both people and animals.
00:13The animals, sometimes abandoned by their owners, who are obliged to die,
00:17are trapped in the middle of the conflict, without protection or care.
00:21It's why several activists and volunteers have assumed the task of helping them,
00:27providing food, veterinary care, sterilizations,
00:30and coordinating efforts to distribute the donations efficiently.
00:34Despite the logistics of logistics, in areas like Tibú,
00:38where violence and the roadblock delay the arrival of help,
00:41it's the local solidarity that has allowed donations to reach the refuges and rural areas.
00:47In Ocaña, the situation is more manageable,
00:49what facilitates the organization of the rescue efforts.
00:52Activists of both localities coinciden in the importance of maintaining the work coordinated,
00:56despite the adversities,
00:58to ensure that the most needed animals will receive the attention they require.
01:02Another challenge is the overpopulation animal,
01:05since the abandoned animals can reproduce uncontrollably.
01:08The sterilization has been identified as a key solution to prevent this dismedia growth.
01:13Organizations like Misión Animal Colombia have intensified the sterilization campaigns in the region
01:18and plan to expand their reach to other affected areas.
01:21If you want to help the animals in Catatumbo, you can make donations both in species and in money.
01:27The donations in species include alimentos for dogs and animals, medicine and materials for refugees,
01:32and can be delivered to the animal animals like in their sede of Usaquén.
01:36Quienes deseen hacer aportes económicos pueden hacerlo a través de las cuentas bancarias
01:40que encontrarán en las redes sociales de las organizaciones colaboradoras,
01:44como lo son Misión Animal Colombia, Ruta Animal y el colectivo Causa Animal.
