Today, we need you. This article is specially written for our friends of Bex, at about ten kilometers from our home.
In the evening of Friday, October 10th, criminals voluntarily set fire to the main building of the kennel of Bex (source : Police Vaudoise and newspaper Le Matin). Fortunately, horses, cats, and dogs were able to be evacuated in time by the fire brigades which quickly arrived on the scene, and there is no wounded person. Only one dog was not able to be saved and died suffocated : already very shy, he most probably hid and was not able to be found in time.

The building is ravaged ; a container was already supplied to the staff of the kennel to install a provisional reception there. The shelters of animals and the reserves of food were not affected ; the kennel has an accommodation facilities of 80 dogs and 40 cats, but fortunately the cat boarding (which was in the building which burned) was luckily empty these days.
Winter is coming and our friends need, by order of priority :
- Money : what remains of the building must be unsettled and freed to be able to reconstruct everything, before the arrival of winter if possible
- Blankets

It is so sad the some types of humans do such things.
It is more sad that a doggie lost his life too.
Thankfully, not all humans are like that.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,

This is getting to be an epidemic! There were two such fires here recently and many dogs died :'( I will share this xox
That’s terrible. Same thing happened in Manchester, England. There are some evil and disgusting human beings out there.
Will share this.
Purrs xx

Some humans are heartless and thoughtless – expect they thought it was fun to do and we hope there are some clues to their identity so they can be caught and dealt with.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
we will never understand why people do such things. we are glad you are bring attention to it and hope they can get rebuilt quickly
People wonder why many of us prefer animals to other people…this is why. Animals don’t do the evil things that so-called humans do. What a tragic story. Hope they can get back up and running quickly.
How sad and scary for the animals inside. We’re glad almost all made it out, but we mourn for the little one who was lost. Sending prayers and purrs. Love, Crepes.
pixie and zorro, please excuse our speech but we hope they catch the bastard(s) that did this and the punishment is severe. while we are happy no people are hurt and all the animals made it out safe we are sorry about the one doggie…♥♥♥ hopefully the shelter receives enough donations to re build quickly
How awful! I will share this and get the word out.
Sad, we’re sorry for those who were lost. Hope the shelter will be rebuilt and up and running again soon.
How sad that the shelter was destroyed. Why do humans do such evil things? We purr for all the animals and that enough donations are received so they can rebuild.
I hope they find those humans and throw the proverbial book at them! Those poor anipals.
That is so sad 🙁
This is terrible, just like the fire in Manchester, England. I hope they catch whoever did this. And I hope they are able to find places to house the animals and rebuild the shelter.
I will SHARE SHARE SHARE and hope some ANIPALS have some green papers to offer
Oh Dat’s pawful. Meez so sowwy one of da doggies had to go to heaven. But meez so glad so many udders made it out alive. Weez suwe hope they get what they need. Weez’ll be purrayin’.
