Animal Control Early March 2012 from john peaveler on Vimeo.
Some short clips from the field in early March 2012. It’s rough, it’s raw. It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking. This is what our team confronts every day as K’S PATH struggles to bring compassion to where it’s needed most.
And this is only early March!

while i do respect the work they do, they are extremely disorganized. You make significant donations/adopt animals, and you never hear from them or get an update. you call them to rescue injured animals, they say they will come in two days (wtf??!!)
hope they are able to become more organized with time
you see, this is how flawed people are and how they get themselves into trouble generally in the world from office silly bitch politics to world wars where man kills man and anything else in its path.
maryam, you call them disorganized because they cannot apparate when unscrupulously called upon by a population who think they should be serviced like they’re in Burj Al Arab for the weekend? they have no magic wand and as a not for profit organization are tightly staffed. with an average of over 100 dogs (the status i know of a few months ago and i’m sure that number isn’t on the decline with – people who will be punished by Allah in the after life – for taking them in and then deserting them with little hesitation and probably on the sly or plain cruelty as far as the poor dog is concerned), rely on compassionate generous donors and probably in certain urgent situations self-funded. come on, they set up a shelter for the animals in this country, a humane one where they’re happy, well treated. make a productive or even a financial difference rather than just whine. i’m often surprised by how empty their donation jar is on the open days that i’ve been to.
and i apologize, i just re-read your post and noted that you proly do make generous donations. while i say, give without expecting, i missed out on some obvious pointers- you do know they’re on facebook?
Hi Maryam,
Are you referring to the two dogs I captured at the Fahaheel Sea Club a few weeks ago at your request?
I hope these guys grow their operations across the middle east. Id love to donate 100 kd
Please keep it up and end the Neglect of animals especially at friday pet market
K’s Path
-Too busy publicizing to get sponsors with their highly corporate vision.
-Self centered and concerned with creating the image rather than contributing to solving the issue.
All the Kuwaiti animal lovers (mind I not say foreign :)) who have dealt with them can vow to that and a list of behavior issues that they and not the dogs have.
Sincerely speaking that is.
well, what choice do you, i or anyone that runs a not for profit organization have if the response expected from them is perfection, in perfect timing but the population at large, with the generous exceptions, leave their donation jar empty? have you never come across the fantastic ads that the world food programme puts out for the great work they do in desperate locations?
with regards to your second point, i’m not sure where ‘self centered’ comes from or if greater awareness creation or just updates about their work is being confused with ‘creating an image’. who should they consider? people that complain about them publishing information and updates or those like one of the commenters here who complain about them not?
and committing to building a shelter and the causes that it entails surely is a contribution?
the funny thing is nobody from K’s Path responded here!!
and why getting inside a military base is easier than K’s Path’s??!““
can anybody answer the damn phone??! oh email,, yeah,, the reply came after 5 days!
why is that funny Count? by that logic is the fact that they’re out there working rather than waiting to jump in response to comments made on the internet by detractors sad?
email- again, how about considering the fact that they responded. when i write to my banks some take over a week to get back to me. profit making large conglomerates with thousands of employees. and sometimes they don’t.
phone- maybe there’s room for improvement there. even perhaps equity in the manner that is meted out to certain components of the community at the shelter.
there’s always room for improvement. but let those that are pure and perfect cast the first stone.
thank you for your reply,,
i’m happy to know such organizations exist.
my comment was a kind of criticizing but in a bad way and i apologize.
+1
All you do is dispute any comment arguing semantics. You are no a representative of the organization, let them speak for themselves. You are just making them look bad.
Thats probably because semantics in most conversations are a product of real thoughts desiring expression in word form.
I already know I’m no representative.
I was addressing elements that can reasonably be accepted to be universal. They just happened to be a case in point of Non profit organizations.
Besides, don’t you think it would leave a void – that anyone who had a counter-opinion to the argument could fill – which had an aftertaste of making them look bad if they didn’t happen to look here and speak for themselves?
