Homeless man and dogsSoup Kitchen Opens in Berlin to Help Out People Under Financial Duress

BERLIN,(RushPRnews)11/0/02/08-With constant reports  that dogs were being discarded because their owners could no longer afford to feed them, a soup kitchen in Berlin has taken steps to address the problem. The soup kitchen ‘Animal Board’ offers meals for dogs of the homeless, and for people who have lost their jobs as a result of the current financial crisis.

Claudia Hollm, the director of the soup kitchen and the founder of "Animal Board", responded to criticism from some quarters that they should be catering for humans instead of dogs and told Reuters, "Nowadays people underestimate dogs. They are incredibly important for those who lack social contact with other humans." And adding, "Making sure dogs don’t go hungry is just as important as making sure that people don’t starve."

Animal Board has been lucky enough to benefit from sponsorship from several companies, including some animal food companies. One woman who used the service for her dogs, cats and her rabbit told a local newspaper:"Without this animal bread line, I’d probably starve to death."

Berlin is currently becoming very animal friendly as last month the city opened a bus service that caters just for dogs, ferrying the animals to and from a day-care centre.
