International
conference set to push companion
animal welfare ‘one step further’
THIS YEAR’S International Companion Animal Welfare Conference
(ICAWC) aims to take delegates ‘One Step Further’
along the road to achieve their animal welfare aims.
ICAWC is organised by the NCDL, the UK’s largest welfare
charity dedicated to rehoming dogs and preventing strays, and
North Shore Animal League International - an international organisation
dedicated to saving animals’ lives.
Significant
ICAWC was set up to share information and advice to those wanting
to improve the lives of pet animals. It has grown into a significant
event in the animal welfare calendar, and attracts hundreds
of delegates from all over the world. This years event takes
place at the Pyramida Hotel, Prague on November 15-16.
One of the themes at ICAWC 2002 will be the most effective methods
of fundraising for animal shelters. Experts from organisations
such as the NCDL, North Shore Animal League International and
Civil Society Development Foundation Hungary, will share their
knowledge and experience in fundraising from individuals and
organisations.
Education will also play a large part at the conference. Local
Prague schoolchildren will present the findings of their project
on animal welfare in the classroom.
Other areas to be covered by expert speakers include: running
a shelter as a business, dog behaviour and environment enrichment,
common ailments in dogs and cats plus neuter and release techniques.
Robin Sieger, a world renowned motivational speaker, will start
the conference with what promises to be a dynamic presentation
on achieving excellence.
