Kiki was our first rescued dog—playful, affectionate, and one of the happiest street dogs we
had ever known. She quickly became a symbol of joy and resilience.
Tragically, one morning while she was playing outside, Kiki was brutally killed during a culling
operation carried out by an animal control organization. Her lifeless body was discarded into
a truck filled with the bodies of other dogs—a heartbreaking and defining moment for us.
Kiki’s death ignited a powerful movement for justice and became the foundation for the
establishment of JFK Animal Rescue and Shelter. Determined to prevent such cruelty, we
organized numerous protests against inhumane culling practices and worked tirelessly to
raise awareness about humane and effective alternatives for controlling stray animal
populations, such as Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).
Kiki’s story continues to inspire our mission. Her loss was not in vain—it became the driving
force behind years of dedicated work in animal rescue, rights, and welfare.
For nearly a decade, we have remained committed to this cause, and we will continue
striving for a future where animals are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect.
