42. THE ANIMAL WELFARE PHILOSOPHY - The Foundation For Animal Use Education - Animal The Foundation for animal Use education is a program of the American animal WelfareFoundation, a national charitable 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1991 to http://www.animaluse.org/html/animal_welfare.html

THE ANIMAL WELFARE PHILOSOPHY The Meaning of Animal Welfare The Interdependence of Humans and Animals The Role of Law Industry Education and Self-Regulation The Meaning of Animal Welfare Even if we believe that animals cannot have rights, it does not mean we can treat animals any way we please. As moral agents, we recognize our own obligation to treat animals humanelynot because it is their right, but because it is our responsibility. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has defined animal welfare as "a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal well-being, including proper housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention and treatment, responsible care, human handling, and, when necessary, humane euthanasia." The animal welfare view recognizes responsible animal use as natural, ethically appropriate and indispensable to our survival and quality of life. This philosophy is based on the premise that the mutual dependence of humans and animals on one another is part of the natural order, and a function of our joint evolution. Scientists believe that the domestication of animals began about twelve thousand years ago, when wolves began to gravitate to the campfires that warmed ancient humans. Instinctively, the animals recognized that associating with humans increased their chances for survival, ultimately enhancing their ability to reproduce. Their food supply was assured, so they didn't have to compete with other predators to eat. The campfires kept them warm, reducing their own need to expend energy for that purpose. And man protected them from savage attacks from other predators.

The Animal Welfare Society Education Our Humane Education Department As a Humane Society we not only provide food, care and shelter for homeless animals but we also provide educational programs to our community. With the ever-increasing human and pet population in our world today, it is vital to spread the important messages of the Animal Welfare Society: the importance of spaying and neutering pets, of long-term commitment to a pet, kind animal treatment, and the link between domestic violence and animal abuse. In conjunction with the York County Coalition against Domestic Violence, our shelter is working on the issues surrounding domestic violence-for both humans and pets. The Animal Welfare Society has established the PAWS program to assist clients who are in need of assistance. Programs: Classroom Visits We go directly to the children in grades K through high school, adjusting our subject matter to each grade level. Field Trips We welcome field trips from schools and community groups. Age-appropriate videos and a tour of our facility are included in a visit. High School Community Service As the number of area high schools that require community service grows, so does our program to include teenagers in the important work of our shelter. Students may satisfy all or part of their high school volunteer requirements with us, and we welcome the opportunity to work with the youth that want to help animals in our towns.

Canadian Council Of Grocery Distributors Targets Education To Address Consumer Animal Welfare Questions January 27, 2003 Farmscape Episode 1165 The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors says education is key to addressing consumer questions related to the welfare of animals raised for food. In increasing numbers, Canadian consumers are turning to retailers for assurances that the animals used to produce the food they buy have been properly cared for. Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors Vice President Jeannie Cruikshank says it's sometimes news to consumers that there are already various codes of practice in place specific to the different commodities. Clip-Jeannie Cruikshank-Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors Cruikshank says the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors, in partnership with a number of commodity groups is preparing a project to communicate the existence of those codes. She's confident that will help form the foundation from which consumers will be able to gain a better understanding of the issue.

Humane Education Group "Breaking the link between animal cruelty,abuse,neglect and violent crimes in society" Humane Education In Broad Terms: Animal cruelty encompasses a range of behaviors harmful to animals, from neglect to malicious killing. Most cruelty investigated by humane officers is unintentional neglect that can be resolved through education.Intentional cruelty, or abuse, is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter, or veterinary care or maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing an animal. Animal "hoarding" is a situation that happens when someone has collected so many animals that they are unable to provide proper care for them. Have you ever witnessed animal cruelty,abuse,neglect?. Humane Education Group's mission is to educate citizens on these issues and empower the people to be able to report these crimes with accuracy and understanding. As a former A.S.P.C.A. Humane Officer (St.Pete,FL) and author/webmaster of several animal related sites,I am well aware of the growing problem there is not only in this country but in nations around the world regarding animal cruelty,abuse,neglect. Though the laws seem to be changing in some regions (in part due to pressure from various animal rights groups),I feel that humane education and awareness can be a vital source where as community citizens may report incidents of animal cruelty,abuse and neglect

The school has a great deal of land which has not been developed for wildlife and has been left derelict for a number of years. Sharon Richards, Science Co-ordinator and the Head Teacher Ann Harris, approached Born Free asking for help to develop their school grounds for wildlife and the National Curriculum! Oaktree School has plenty of room for development Naturally we were delighted to be provided with the opportunity to help encourage children to investigate their own environment and improve the grounds for wildlife. The first stage of the project was to seek permission and inform the teachers, caretaker, Governors and LEA that the project was going to happen. Funding was considered and applications sent to a variety of grant making bodies. Every one at Oaktree was enthusiastic to start making a change for wildlife and the children. Before starting the exciting part of drawing up plans and construction, many observations, investigations and planning need to be undertaken and it is vital that the children are involved at every stage.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization and is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) for Alexandria. The League is an animal sheltering and welfare organization focused on community responsiveness, professional animal care, dynamic education, compatible adoptions and a philosophy of compassion in all we do. Animal Adoptions The fee for cats, dogs, large birds and ferrets adopted from the League is $50. Other animals are $20. If the animal is not altered, spay/neuter surgery must be paid for at the time he is adopted. The adoption fee does not include the spay/neuter fee for unaltered animals, which will be an additional $50 to $150, depending on the animal and the veterinarian selected. It is the law in Virginia that all dogs and cats adopted from shelters must be spayed or neutered. Citizen's Assistance We take as much care to keep animals out of our shelter as we take of the animals in our shelter. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria receives hundreds of calls every week from people seeking advice about an animal behavior problem, or reporting lost and found animals. Our trained staff counsel callers on training, nutrition, health care and hundreds of topics, with the goal of helping people solve problems with training or behavior modification before they decide to give up the animal. Staff review new arrivals at the shelter and found reports to try to reunite lost animals with their families. Reduced-Cost Spay/Neuter Program
