I'm excited to be presenting at the Best Friends National Conference July 11-13 in Orlando Florida. My presentation is entitled "From Buzzwords to Lifesaving, turning misunderstood topics into improved shelter lifesaving." During my presentation I'll be talking about terms such as "Length of Stay", "Capacity for Care" and "Managed intake". Often these topics are misunderstood -- which can lead to unnecessary animal deaths in the shelter, poor communication with the community and erosion of public support. Looking forward to talking through these concepts, how they relate to each other, and how you can harness them to maximizing lifesaving in your community. Come join me at the conference!

Our animals like to eat and they can eat a lot! That's why we are grateful to FirstEnergy for their regular donation of tree trimmings, or browse, to our animals! As the electric company routinely trims trees throughout the community to help prevent or minimize the impact of tree-related power outages and enhance electric service reliability, we collect a portion to feed the animals. Our hoofstock and primate species, such as the lemurs, alpacas, goats and tufted deer, receive the trimmings daily. The sticks, leaves and buds are high in fiber and an important part of their diet. Chewing on browse can also improve dental health. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g6QBKqnU.

"Kindness has the power to change the lives of those we touch.

When feds bust dogfighters, they're charged with "conspiracy." The ASPCA, the Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society, which is a front for dogfighters, are all part of that conspiracy. Don't believe that? Here's just one example: National Dog Fighting Awareness Day is Monday, April 8. Last week, police/feds took 100+ pitbulls from eight New Jersey dogfighters, 78 pitbulls from Alabama dogfighter Carlton Adams and 73 pitbulls from California dogfighter Jorge Ayala's property. New Jersey dogfighter Bruce Low Jr. and his family/friends had been investigated since "late 2021," per 6abc-dot-com; Alabama dogfighter Carlton Adams had been investigated since September 2023, per AL-dot-com; and California dogfighter Jorge Ayala, whose "whereabouts are unknown," per NBC Bay Area, had been investigated since "early March." If you think it's a coincidence that feds decided to swoop in and rescue all these "poor, poor dogs" a few days before National Dog Fighting Awareness Day, please do not vote in the upcoming presidential election. Stay home. Smoke your weed. Eat your edibles. Drink your wine. Binge watch TV. Leave the heavy lifting to the rest of us. #animalcruelty #animalwelfare #animalrights #catsoflinkedin #kittenseason #catrescue #greed #gambling #corruption #nationaldogfightingawarenessday https://lnkd.in/gPs4x3u4

And…action! 🐾 We recently worked with Friends of Indy Animals for a 2024 Action Planning Session. During this session, goals and strategies were at the heart of the discussion with the focus on a road map to impact. After all, what good is a plan without action steps? We look forward to working alongside Friends of Indy Animals in 2024 as they continue to work towards protecting and saving Indy’s most vulnerable animals.

Animal Ask is excited to share one of our new extensive reports, Lobbying through Public Consultation. We analyse if this form of public government lobbying represents an opportunity for animal advocates to influence policy that benefit animals. In the report, we assess establishing a small organisation to a) build a database of jurisdictions around the world that regularly use public consultations, b) monitor upcoming consultations that could affect the lives of animals, c) write and make submissions to those consultations, and d) coordinate with animal advocates in particular jurisdictions to make similar submissions. Some takeaways include: - Public consultations are especially common in Western democracies such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the European Union. - Many obvious submissions do get attention from animal advocacy organisations. - Nevertheless, the animal advocacy movement often misses out on leveraging these consultations due to resource constraints. - There is often a profound effect on animals from biosecurity policies, non-welfare farming regulations, invasive species management, fisheries policy, many development/industry activities, among others. We encourage animal advocates and other stakeholders, especially those interested in this type of advocacy, to read the report on our website: https://lnkd.in/dRECkBMH
