The singer-songwriter RIK from Linz is launching an animal protection project with Eukanuba in Austria. The net proceeds from a new CD with the theme “For our pets” will be given to animal refuges across Austria. The CD is expected to come out in the middle of June and will be available from animal homes all over Austria. Two songs will be featured on the benefit CD, one about dogs and one on the subject of cats, and € 10 500 is expected to be raised for the animal refuges in this project. “The net proceeds of this CD will achieve an important advance in providing efficient assistance for pets until a new family is found for them,” stressed Dieter Koch, managing director of Eukanuba in Austria.
