On Feb. 6, 2023, a massive 7.6 earthquake hit Turkey and Syria, killing thousands of people in Turkey alone.

And what about the companion animals? 

Within days after the quake, PETA--thanks to your donations to the Global Compassion Fund--dispatched a team that saved hundreds of animals, reuniting many with their human companions who survived the quake.

Mimi Bekhechi, VP of PETA UK, Europe, and Australia, talks to Emil Guillermo about how the team approached each day during the month-long rescue. And how their efforts saved cats and dogs like Thalia, Pisa, Lucky, and others.
