Man Will Not Leave Afghanistan Until His Crew And The Animals At His Sanctuary Are Secure

Pen Farthing, a veteran of the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy, created the charity Nowzad in 2007 and has dedicated his life to helping thousands of animals since then. Pen, however, is in a frantic dash to save her animals and local employees owing to the circumstances in Afghanistan.

Nowzad’s facilities in Kabul currently house more than 25 Afghan workers and more than 200 rescued animals. Since a result, Pen has made every attempt to remove them, as she is concerned about their uncertain future in this nation.

According to iNews, Pen said:

I need to get them out of here as soon as possible. I’m not going to abandon you. Everyone is scared of what the future holds, even myself.

Despite the complexities of the scenario, the ex-marine has launched Operation Ark in an attempt to gather finances for the evacuation.

The man is hoping to gather $200,000 to pay for a cargo jet and go to the United Kingdom. However, he will need to complete various legal procedures that would allow Afghan personnel to enter the nation, so he enlists the help of his political allies.

The Foreign Minister reportedly phoned Pen to offer assistance, according to numerous media sites, although there is no official confirmation. In addition, the guy wants the families of each of his employees, as well as the majority of the animals in the area, to be evacuated.

Pen also added:

“My workers all have teenage daughters, and I have no idea what will happen to the Afghan females…”

Pen made the following observation:

‘I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m British.’ This is a lesson in how to fully destabilize a country from the Western world.

In 2006, the guy arrived in the city of Nowzad, where he encountered a dog that became his companion in the middle of a battle.

She named the dog Nowzad and chose to adopt him to start a new life with him, and the charity Nowzad was created as a result of this incident.

So far, the sanctuary has been able to rehome almost 1,700 animals, many of them were reunited with troops they met during wars. In addition, over the years, the organization has been able to teach more than 500 veterinary students in Kabul.

Pen’s organization’s purpose has benefitted not just animals in need, but also the vulnerable population.

Pen and his wife Kaisa had been traveling to Kabul from their home in Exeter on a regular basis since last year, but had sought refuge from the epidemic. They used this opportunity to expand their facilities and eventually built one of the top veterinary clinics in the country, but their goal was dashed.

Because Afghanistan is in such disarray, Pen will have to make difficult decisions about the fate of some of her rescued animals.

You must decide what to do with more than 140 dogs, 40 cats, donkeys, horses, goats, and cows at the shelter, since you cannot take them all.

Pen made the following observation:

We’ll have to part ways. There isn’t any other choice, unfortunately. There are 140 dogs and only 65 slots in my kennel. Some of the oldest and most wounded canines will have to be euthanized.

Regardless of how difficult it may appear, Pen is committed to achieving his mission and finding the best solutions for his team and rescued animals.
