Dear Networkers
I regret to inform all of you that as of last Friday, 3 rd August,
our flight sponsorship from Comair was terminated.
There letter read “we are in the process of undergoing a
massive cost cutting initiative and regrettably we’re no longer
in the position to cover the freight cost for the animals.”
This came as a big shock to us as in the past few years this
flight sponsorship has saved so many animals lives.
I have asked Bidair for there flight cost estimations (which
I have attached). We will still be saving a bit of money as
we have crates and will be booking directly with Bidair and
not working through a Pet Carrier Service so the costs will be
lessened by about R500 – R800.
Watershed is starting a “flight fund” as well so that we can
help when we have funds for this, especially when the dogs
are flying from rescue centre to rescue centre and no adoption
fee is to be paid. If you would like to get people to donate to
the flight fund (even R50 a month will help build up the kitty)
then please let them have the fund banking details and please
reference it “flight fund”. If this fund “takes off” positively,
I will keep you all in the loop as to how much funds we have
in the kitty and if we can help with the next flight. I do think
though that if there is funds available, you STILL waiver your
adoption fee on your flight dogs, and then we can pay this
towards that flight plus “top it up” with the kitty money if it
is needed. In doing this, we can lessen the cost per flight and
thus be able to help with more. (hope this makes sense)
I am so terribly sorry for this. I will be emailing Comair this
week to see if they cant at least give us 2 – 3 free flights a
month or if they can maybe give us a discounted price on the
flight costs attached.
So please bear with me, and I will try my utmost to get
assistance.
Please see attached the flight cost estimates as well as
WATERSHED banking details. Please don’t forget to reference
it “flight fund”.
With regards
