A NEW OPORTUNITY: VILLA LORENA

Through all this time we have been showing you few international organizations which are against animal abuses and work to stop it. Today, we want to introduce you a national organization named “Villa Lorena”, this sanctuary is directed by Ana Julia Torres and it is situated in Cali. This place is a shelter for hundreds of animals rescued largely from drug traffickers and paramilitary lands, as well as from circuses.

The founder said that “Some of the cruelties I’ve seen make me ashamed to be a human being”, she is referring to all the damage that the rescued animals have been victims.

As Torres has made an excellent job, her work has been recognized internationally by international entities as “Care2 make the difference” and also by one of the most important newspapers in the world: The New York Times. The American newspaper published an article dedicated to her life and love for the animals, it was a complete report written by Simon Romero in March 30, 2010.
