After the May 12 earthquake,IFAW China,a client of Gaopeng&Partners,received the instruction from its headquarters in the USA of organizing two animal aid teams to implement epidemic control and medical care for animals in the earthquake-hit areas.IFAW China,with the donation of hundreds of thousands USD from its headquarters,purchased tents,rabies vaccine,animal fences and other relief immediately and applied for entering into the earthquake-hit areas.The application,however,did not get the reply from the authorities who focused on the rescue of injured people at that time.Gaopeng&Partners,after knowing that,contacted the Health Bureau of Sichuan.The relief,upon our coordination,was transported into Sichuan province,and the animal aid teams permitted to enter into the earthquake-hit areas.The activities of the teams contributed to the control of animal epidemic in the areas.Gaopeng&Partners also donated to the IFAW and wrote down our words as follows:Kindness is not the only quality of human beings;Assistance does not only belong to people;Love shall exit between human beings and animals;Gratitude to animals shall be our motto.
