What I wish I knew when I started out in animal advocacy... I have recently reflected what I've learned in my early career in animal advocacy and here are some lessons (more in my recent blog post linked below): 1. Choose work experience over post-Bachelor's education when possible 2. Start doing relevant work, even if unpaid, to showcase skills and test fit 3. Be open to changing jobs for better opportunities, but consider financial security 4. Use current jobs to build career capital for future animal advocacy roles 5. Consider earning to give as a way to support the movement financially 6. Offer concrete skills to solve specific problems when seeking roles 7. Network actively, including with senior people, and learn to ask good questions 8. Seek growth opportunities beyond what your employer provides 9. Don't be afraid to be ambitious, and critically assess other people's advice 10 Don't take rejections too personally; persistence often pays off 11. Invest time in improving your productivity 12. Prioritise relationships with family and friends: there will always be more work to do 13. Take care of your physical and mental health 14. Plan for long-term financial security (pension, savings, housing) even on a low salary 15. Learn to budget and save money effectively Do you have any other tips for early-career professionals?

TLDR: Mental health support for animal welfare staff and volunteers is finally getting the attention that it needs, and the MSPCA-Angell is taking crucial steps to support our teams' mental health needs. I need assistance from my network to help find someone to fill a crucial new position - Social Worker for the Animal Protection Division. Longer story - As soon as someone enters this field they are met with some of the most challenging things not seen in most professions. Whether it is navigating euthanasia decisions for the first time, seeing an animal victim of abuse or just connecting with many people in desperate situations, this work can be hard on us and it is expected that you will inevitably suffer from burn out, compassion fatigue, etc. This results in a host of challenges like a constant cycle of resignations and rehiring, conflict with peers, distrust of our community or even concerns for self-harm. Much of the opportunities for support tend to be sought once someone is already impacted, and it feels like we are always working from behind to help address the needs of our teams. As a leader at MSPCA-Angell and in the animal welfare field, I felt it was important to invest in the development of a support system aimed at building coping skills as new staff/volunteers join our team, normalizing the need for help, building in debriefing after traumatic situations, and ultimately building a healthy work environment where staff can stay and grow in a workplace that cares about them as much as it cares about animals. I'm hoping all of you may know folks that desire to help build this with us, so please share this posting with your network! https://lnkd.in/dZ6WZErQ

Litigation, HR & GDPR consultant, External Member, IC, POSH in University of Delhi and MNCs, Trainer, Writer : New Age Woman at Workplace. Chairperson, Right For Me foundations. Vegan. (Enrl. No. D/344/96)
Gang, goons and dogs Dogs are a hot issue in India. Dogs are the most loved and the most hated animal these days. They are loved by people on streets and hated by people having aspirations for people’s vote. It is a known fact that underprivileged people and their children have no fear of dogs being a part of their environment. In view of the fact that the India is house to millions of dogs and traditionally people have been living with dogs for thousands of years with no hate campaign, the genesis of the problem is change of social structure and culture. We have definitely shifted towards nuclear families, centered around our universe with less hours devoted to any social cause. Consequently, a large number of population living in apartments is less considerate towards the environment. Just a visit to any shelter home for dogs is enough to understand the unspeakable barbarity and crime committed against dogs. There are hundreds of dogs who are victim to street violence. There is no social cause espoused by resident welfare associations and politicians having limited agendas. With lack of vision towards the solution of the problem with the aid and assistance of the authorities and feeders as mandated by law, they create panic, campaign and then tout removal of dogs as their election agenda. The media houses feed on the news of dog bites and never reporting the brutality on dogs. Generally, these political group of people have a good connection with the police authorities and consequently, there is a growing physical aggression towards feeders and people who care for animals. Any voice being raised against the brutality towards dogs is being given a new term “goondas” “goons”. Recently in Noida, Uttar Pradesh and Vasant Kunj, Delhi, old women were beaten mercilessly and their young daughters molested. No action has been taken in both the cases and there is continuing threat to their physical safety. The Vasant Kunj police resorted to filing a First Information Report against the feeders on false and frivolous complaint of President of Resident Welfare Association. The solution lies in working in coordination with feeders, authorities and seek solutions already detailed under Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023. Biting of dogs cannot be taken lightly and hence, the ABC Rules mandate removal of the dog for few days, observed and treated and then released back to their territory. These groups, associations and fading politicians and their campaign should be curbed and dealt with iron hand or else, we are heading towards anarchy and persecution of all dogs, a holocaust for them. Note : I am scared of dogs since my childhood and I freeze when I see a dog on the street. We have two dogs who bite us annually turn by turn. :)

Did you know that video can be an incredible tool to not only make teams feel appreciated, but to attract new talent? Berkeley Humane is renowned for their commitment to animal welfare. They wanted to create a surprise video for their annual appreciation event to honor their hardworking volunteers and staff. fLO approached the project with precision and care. We collaborated with the Executive Director to determine key messages and achievements to feature. We then conducted confidential interviews with staff and volunteers to gather heartfelt messages (staff speaking about volunteers and volunteers speaking about staff) without spoiling the surprise. The final product told the story of how much both groups appreciate each other and how they work together to create amazing outcomes for domestic animals. The team at Berkeley Humane realized the video’s potential for recruitment after seeing the enthusiastic response. The video not only made the appreciation event special but also became a powerful tool for attracting new volunteers and staff by showcasing the organization’s vibrant community. Berkeley Humane’s appreciation video demonstrates the power of thoughtful storytelling in fostering community and attracting new members. If you’re looking to create a similarly impactful project, fLO is ready to help you share your story and achieve remarkable results.

Are people working in animal welfare at greater risk of suicide? Sadly, we don’t have much data on the topic. According to this recent Psychology Today article by President and CEO of Austin Pets Alive! Ellen Jefferson, DVM, animal rescue workers are presumed to have an occupational suicide rate nearly five times higher than the average. These numbers are alarming and despite the presumed elevated risk of suicide, there is still much more research needed on the mental health challenges in this emotionally complex and stressful line of work. The most quoted (and only identified) data point on the issue does not include most animal rescue workers, so it’s vital for additional research to be conducted. The emotional toll of this work can be overwhelming, potentially leading to depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. Mental health awareness for all care workers is growing, and organizations need to continue implementing best practices to combat burnout and compassion fatigue—targeted suicide education and awareness materials are a great first step to building broad awareness in your community. Shelters! How do you bring awareness to mental health challenges in your organization and community? If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, seek help immediately. For help 24/7, dial 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or reach out to the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.

🐾 Understanding Shelter Dog Behavior After Adoption 🏡 Did you know that adopting a shelter dog comes with a unique journey of behavior changes? 🐶 A recent study by the College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, published in PLOS ONE (August 2023) titled "Shelter dog behavior after adoption: Using the C-BARQ to track dog behavior changes through the first six months after adoption" sheds light on this fascinating topic: https://lnkd.in/g4bKwcnD 🧐 Key Findings: • Dogs may exhibit various behaviors that fluctuate over time. • Aggression towards strangers, guardians, and other dogs is common but changes over time. • Separation-related behavior problems tend to decrease by the six-month mark. • Pet parents remain highly satisfied with their four-legged family addition throughout the adjustment period. StudyFinds provided an insightful synopsis of this research, highlighting the importance of understanding these behavior changes to better support shelter dogs and their new pet guardians: https://lnkd.in/eesa76rh If you have recently adopted or are considering adopting a shelter dog and need support navigating these transitions, contact us in a private message, or email [email protected].
