07.11.07 - Summit a Huge Success!
The 2nd National Summit to End Companion Animal Overpopulation was recently held on the Gold Coast. With 100 delegates from Australia, New Zealand and the USA it once again proved to be a huge success. Held over two days, the summit provided council members, animal welfare organisations, pet industry representatives and veterinarians to name a few, a chance to come together and work towards an end to the tragic problem of pet overpopulation. This years' keynote speaker was Michael Mountain, President and Founding Member of Best Friends Animal Society, the largest animal sanctuary in the USA. His inspirational and informative presentations gave a great insight into the issues facing animal welfare around the world. You can now download the Proceedings booklet by clicking on the links which are below and to the left for a full overview of the presentations from the Summit. It has been decided that the event will now be held bi-annually with the next summit to take place in 2009.
And……
The 3rd National Desexing Month took place in August and once again, we would like to thank all the councils and veterinarians who participated making the month a huge success. This August saw a whopping 592 desexing certificates issued by NDN, a result that we are very proud of. Also a big thank you to all the responsible pet owners who took the opportunity to have their pets desexed.
The $500 Coles/Myer gift voucher went to Dr JC Mullins Surgery in Kingaroy Qld for a second year. Congratulations to Dr Mullins and all his staff!!. There were many vets who went to great efforts and Hampton Park Vet Clinic in Victoria also had a large number of entries. We will be distributing the lucky winners of the Dirty Dog sunglasses very soon so keep your eyes on the post. Thank you again to all who participated and we hope to make it even bigger and better in 2008!
