Maybe you allready have seen the pictures on Facebook or in the news, they lost nearly 80% of the work of the past 12 years.


I think, as Cheetah said, we have to invite them back for the charity on Eurofurence 21 again!

They need us!

If they decide to build everything up again, they should build it weather safe.
It's not like it's new that germany gets weather like that :/

Goldie

After nearly 3 weeks of rain, the ground is that wet and weak, a normal fence foundation will become loose. And as you can see on the pictures, even stone plates got lifted by the wind!

Also they got directly hit by the hurricane.... and the last big one was with strength 3 and 4 was Kyrill back in 2007.


If anyone think we would choose and invite them again, please write something.

Urm.... yea...

They really should have done that.
It's not like they are an organisation where each cent counts and money is always short.... oh... wait!


Anyways, thank you for spreading the word.
Has any decision been made yet who the charity partner for 2015 will be? I would be very happy if they would get the chance to participate at the EF21 and to raise money to finance the rebuild.


With many kind regards, Arahn

The enclosures were, of course, built storm-safe to a degree (precisely because the west cost gets quite a bit of storms) but this was unusually ferocious. You can only do so far if you don't want to put everything in a concrete bunker.

So please, no trolling. This is a serious thing.

Hello,

I've seen the picture, too, tonight and it's heartbreahing to see all that hard work and dedication being destroyed in an instance. It's good to see that they were able to save most of their animals event they now have to live in realy cramped quarters.

If they decide to carry on, I really support the idea of having them as charity again.
Some people here even think about offering them to help cleaning up an rebuilding their facillity.

We don't have a charity yet, so yes, please!

@Goldie:
I support the idea, but they would have to wait at least 7 months for the money.
As an alternative (or in addition), we could ask the furs around here to make "emergency donations" per bank transfer. That would help them much quicker.

Bank account information and Paypal donate button is on their website:

Furry conventions are like light bubbles in a dark ocean.

Not even that, Kyrill in 2007 even managed to damage bomb shelters that survived the entire second world war and since then ...
Okay, the storms of these last days are not THAT crazy, but as Goldie already said: we had over three weeks of rain. The "Unwetterzentrale" (for the international visitors: they give out the weather warnings for Germany  [www.unwetterzentrale.de]) has their warning set for the second highest rating for almost half of Germany up until Monday. Some parts of Germany are even rated with the highest rating right now an up to Monday.

I can't imagine how heartbroken the people of Wildtierhilfe Fiel must feel right now. Seeing all your efforts destroyed is terrible, additionally when you are sheltering animals in need.


@CleanerWolf

Thank you for the link, i guess you are right, they will need the money right now.

Gonna make a donation now, but sure would love to see them again as a charity. This is just tragic and I'm sure they can still use our money in 7 months.

Such nice people too :( Bah.
