FERNANDO MORENO
The non profit organization Grupo Caridad was founded in 2006 by a group of people who wanted to improve animal welfare standards in Peru, Latin-America. Here in Peru many cruel blood sports take place such as bull-fighting, cock-fighting, and other traditional spectacles that harm animals. Also, as we are a very poor country with low education standards, many people have more pets than they can afford to look after properly. Consequently, there are millions of abandoned dogs and cats in our capital, Lima, and in each province. Of course, as in many parts of the world, our education system promotes ‘speciesism’ so most people view animals as objects or property and not as sentients beings. Luckily our group has many members who are concerned about the rights of animals and we are working very hard to raise awareness of animal welfare issues and to change the way Peruvians think about animals.
