Lithuania

 Bringing in much-needed vet supplies

Five months later, we took a van stacked to the limit with over £10,000 of new equipment and veterinary drugs, plus an additional cargo of other drugs and aid donated by sympathetic vets in the U.K. Upon our arrival in Kaunas everything was immediately distributed with countless animals being able to receive lifesaving vaccines and drugs.

In 1993 Professor Kazys Trainys, a highly respected teaching professor at the Veterinary Academy, re-established the Lithuanian Society For the Protection of Animals (LSPA). It had been banned by the Soviets after their invasion in 1940. Starting with no telephone and virtually no funds, he set about his pioneering work.
