(Full and integral post)EDUCATION IS KEY …..
Today we were privileged to be invited to talk about our work and animal welfare in general to The TY Students of St.Brendans Community School in Birr, Co.Offaly. Two Galway Spca staff members, accompanied by Stevie the terrier and Jacob the Lurcher, spent over an hour together today,explaining and discussing the many aspects of our work and why we feel the need to educate our younger generation on Animal Welfare in Ireland and Worldwide…In the hope that they make one day remember our visit and words and help make a difference …. We covered many aspects …Our work…Puppy Farming …The Greyhound Industry…The importance of Neutering …General Care of Animals ….Cruelty….Abandonment and most important,ways for our younger generations to help make a difference …. How ONE phonecall, can often be the difference for the animal in need of help at that time … Of not being afraid to stand up and speak out,for those without a Voice… It always fills us with hope when we are asked to attend a school/Youth Group/Scouts etc to explain what we do and why … The hope that our future generations will understand that all animals are and should be treated as sentinent beings, with feelings and needs … We would like to thank the TY Students and their teacher Michelle, for inviting us in today… A lovely, well behaved and caring class of teenagers,who thoroughly enjoyed meeting our dogs…. Stevie is currently at our Sanctuary and awaiting her forever home… She was an absolute STAR today on her first outing as an ambassador for Rescue Dogs…. Jacob,is an ex Gspca Dog and an old hand at such events …promoting Sighthounds (Greyhounds/Lurchers etc) as family pets… If any school or group are interested in having us visit for a talk about our work and Animal Welfare in general….Please Contact Anita on 083 8113391Tags: adopt galgos, adopt greyhound, adopt rescue dog, adopt rescue greyhound, adoption, adotta galgo, adotta un levriero, adozione, adozione galgo, adozione greyhound, adozione levrieri, adozione levriero, antiracing, Australia, CAGED northwest, cani, galgo, galgo in adozione, Grey2K USA, greyhound, greyhound @en, greyhound racing, greyhound racing, greyhound racing @en, greyhounds, Greyt Exploitations, Greyt Exploitations, Ireland, levrieri, levriero, Limerick Animal Welfare, lurcher, lurcher, maltrattamenti, pet levrieri, Pet levrieri @en, salva un levriero, salvare levrieri, Spagna, UK, USA
