Meryl Harrison

Here here!! All I can say is my heart bleeds for all the animals wild and domestic Meryl has treated and rescued regardless of what time it was whether it was Christmas day or how many hundreds of miles she had to go to sort them out!! Last time she left we were all horrified as we had NO ONE to call on absolutely no help from the SPCA they had no transport no fuel no one on duty and frankly didnt seem to care!! The times Ive seen poor cattle heads trapped under the bars in the broken down old truck taking them on their final journey, phoned Meryl and known something will be done immediately. Hopefully the staff at VAWAS will take up the reins as Im sure they will. We all wish Meryl all happiness in the UK and a great retirement you sure deserve it . Everyone whose lives youve touched including the hundreds of Innocent Victims wish you Good Health and time off!!! We will miss you terribly.

Chairman and Members Kennel Club of Harare and so many more.

How sad to lose such a dedicated and experienced person. We all know how much she did for animals in this country and we salute her! I hope she has a more peaceful and healthy life

I am not qualified for such a task but I do think somebody should gather enough evidence for Meryl Harrison to be awarded an honour in UK – at least an OBE – for her extraordinary work protecting and saving animals in Zimbabwe for so many years. Submissions can be made to the British Enbassy here. Meryl is British. I know because that was my first bit of research before I gave up any hope of carrying through details of her work and dedication in almost impossible circumstances for a submission to be made. Her work on farms when they were destroyed by so-called War Vets is beyond ordinary praise. My son in law and daughter lost theirs and had a horse burned alive. It was a terrible time and Meryl was in the thick of it all. I do hope you agree with this suggestion and have somebody well placed to do her justice in this way. Regards, John

PS> Please tell me whether the 15 puppies survived their ordeal on the journey to Congo despite her strenuous, not to say dangerous, efforts. I suspect that incident was the straw that brought down the camel.

This is such sad news, what a wonderful person who has done so much in Zimbabwe. Is there no way  she will change her mind? The animals in Zim really need her. How terrible that she has been treated so badly.

Meryl was a tremendous help to us in Avondale West. Yes, she will be sadly missed. Thx for sharing this news release. Trust she finds wondrous rest and refreshment with friends and environs back in the UK...well-deserved, indeed!!

What a blow !  I am sure all the other animal lovers in this country are as devastated by this as I am. . .

........

Oh my gosh that is so sad. She was a wonderful women who did A great deal what a terrible loss to us as Zimbabweans.

..............

A sad day for Zimbabwe!! – we honour you Meryl and your work that you have done for this country xx

Very sad as she is a very brave and dedicated lady

I am deeply sad that a fantastic lady that fights for these animals will be lost here. I pray she has  good health and joy overseas. We must still keep fighting for all animals they also have rights!!
