    BAGHDAD, IRAQ - NOVEMBER 15: Children from Baghdad's Chaldean Catholic community smile in the pews at a mass attended by Iraqi Christians, local Muslim tribal leaders, and US soldiers November 15, 2007 in Bagdhad, Iraq. The service was held at St. John the Baptist, a church in the neighbohood of Dora that closed earlier this year due to Islamic militant threats. But a recent decrease in violence has allowed the Iraqi Christians to re-open the church for the first time in seven months, and the afternoon mass attracted hundreds of worshippers.

Farnsworth is the chap who invented television 80 years ago, then was cheated out of his due credit, fame and riches. He died in 1971, but, 36 years later, was poised for a posthumous revival. A new play about him was opening on Broadway, then theater stagehands went on strike. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)

"Estamos viendo casos de personas que han perdido sus hogares y al mudarse dejan atrás a sus mascotas solos en el jardín", dijo hoy a Efe Denise Cavero Ham, representante de la Sociedad Protectora de Animales de Arizona.

"La gente nos llama para decirnos que los animales llevan varios días solos, algo que pone en peligro sus vidas, sobre todo, ante las altas temperaturas de Arizona", agregó.

    El mayor número de llamadas es para reportar perros abandonados, pero Cavero Ham no descarta que lo mismo esté ocurriendo con los gatos.

    El albergue recibe al año un promedio de 50.000 animales, pero este año la cifra podría ser mucho mayor. Actualmente alberga a un promedio de 200 animales.

    Cavero Ham indicó que hay opciones para aquellas personas que no pueden tener a sus mascotas, como es llevarlas a un refugio para animales.

    "Nosotros solamente les pedimos una pequeña donación cuando traen al animal, pero si no la pueden dar, de todas maneras lo recibimos", indicó.EFE
