BU-Animal Welfare Society

🚨 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 🚨

We are calling on all animal welfare advocates who are willing to join us today for our stray feeding program and rescue operation in Guinobatan, Albay.

If you have a service vehicle that can help transport our volunteers and rescued animals, your support would mean so much to us and to the lives we are trying to save.

Every extra hand and every bit of help can make a difference in this critical time.

📩 Please send us a message or coordinate with our volunteer, Sofiamari Philomena Buergo Lopez, if you’re available to join.

Let’s come together and be the voice for the voiceless.

It's 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭 𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🐾

Today, we celebrate the animals in shelters who continue to hold on to hope for a second chance, a safe space, and a family to call their own.

Behind every rescue is a story of survival. Many have experienced neglect, abandonment, and hardship, yet they remain gentle, loving, and ready to trust again.
As a community, we can help turn their waiting into belonging. Adopt, foster, or simply share their stories, because even the smallest act can bring them closer to a home.

Give them the love they have always deserved. You might just find a kind of love that changes you too. 🐶🐱

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃.

This is not just an assumption, it is a reasonable conclusion.

In a time meant to solemnly honor the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, an innocent animal was subjected to fear, pain, and ultimately, likely death. Where is the bird now? Gone, like the balloons that burst midair and fell without care. The poor creature.

Imagine being that bird, restrained, surrounded by sudden loud explosions as balloons pop one by one, unable to escape and set itself free. That is not symbolism. That is suffering and torture.

While we appreciate the recognition and acknowledgement of the incident as “regrettable” and the Bishop’s objection to the practice as well as the committed discontinuance thereof, his eminence’s mention that the “dove will be released immediately after the unveiling”, reflects the continued intention to use doves in the celebrations. In the same form and manner?

We express our highest respect and to our dear Bishop BUT NO, BISHOP PLEASE. THAT IS NOT THE POINT. Animal welfare concerns are real and urgent. Releasing the animal after the event does not undo the possible distress, mishandling, nor the possible cruelty it endured prior. The issue is not what happens after, it is that the animal should never have been placed in harm’s way to begin with.

Ending the use of live animals in harmful religious practices is not a rejection of tradition. It is a call to refine it so it truly reflects the compassion, dignity, and respect for life that these traditions are meant to uphold.

We respectfully call on the 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 to 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 and ensure that appropriate steps are taken. This also serves as a gentle reminder to 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and be mindful of animals on the road, especially within campus areas.
