Please help the Hungarian animals who have been affected by the recent toxic sludge disaster, which has affected a huge area in Eastern Europe. See below for donation information and additional pictures. Keep reading for background details.

Demotix: Since the first day of the ecological disaster in Devecser and Kolontar, the Rescue Team of the NOE Animal Shelter Foundation have tried to find the survivor animals from the two places. In the last five days they have rescued more than 50 dogs, approximately 100 cats, and other animals from the chemically-infected area.

Background:

From the above videos:

Hungary has declared a state of emergency in three regions after deadly toxic sludge flooded two villages on Monday, killing four people. It happened when a waste reservoir at an aluminum plant burst. Around 120 people were taken to hospital suffering from chemical burns.

Hungary says it will take at least a year and cost millions of dollars to clean up the damage caused by a spill of industrial toxic red sludge. Emergency workers are trying to stop the substance flowing into major waterways. A state of emergency has been declared in three western counties after the chemical waste burst from a reservoir, killing 4 and injuring 120 others. Authorities have called the toxic spill an “ecological disaster”.
