I WOULD like to congratulate and thank Eileen Heritage and The Citizen for putting the facts straight regarding the plight of Longview (Citizen, Feb 21), the RSPCA sanctuary threatened with closure.

It is a terrible situation and one which people will regret not helping after it is too late!

As of today the home only has 42 DAYS LEFT to raise the required funds.

No doubt there will be hundreds of people who have received help or rehomed a pet from Longview who will not know about the plight until they visit the centre sometime in the future only to find it derelict, cold and empty.

Please will you help Longview by raising the media profile quickly.

This is one decision we can all help reach a positive solution. Support Longview -- and help those animals who do not have a voice and cannot help themselves.

Karen Donley,

Oxford Court,
