It focuses on animal welfare education at the school level. We also explain the difference between animal welfare education and humane education.
Essentially, animal welfare education is one element of humane education. The two are sometimes confused because many animal welfare groups consider their educational work to be humane education when it is in fact just one aspect of this (for example, concentrating on animal issues and/or responsible companion animal ownership).
Animal welfare education promotes knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes, and values related to human involvement in the lives of animals. It includes the effects on animals’ abilities to satisfy their needs, and human responsibilities as a result. It can bring about beneficial changes in the treatment of animals at the hands of humans but can stop short of bringing about lasting attitudinal change – especially if carried out in an instructional or piecemeal way.
Animal welfare education can also be targeted to audiences other than school children, and some of these are very important for the future development of animal welfare in industry, government, and higher education. For example:
We believe that it is important that animal welfare training becomes an essential part of the professional development of any person planning to work with animals or in animal policy including: policy and enforcement officials, animal wardens, veterinarians, stockmen/women, slaughter-men/women, and all other animal industries and researchers.
The inclusion of animal welfare in tertiary education is of vital importance. This can be a useful focus of animal protection advocacy (if not already included).
Animal welfare training for veterinarians is especially important because of their future potential for spreading the welfare message and promoting good practice. In some countries, veterinarians and other animal professionals are still completing their professional training without any real understanding of animal ethics and welfare. This is clearly an area for animal protection lobbying and influence, and for well-resourced animal groups to play an active educational role.
החברה ההומאנית של מרוקו runs the community TNVR program. TNVR stands for :
• Trap: Catch & safely contain the animal
• Neuter: Sterilisation
• Vaccinate: Vaccinate the animal against disease
• Release: Release the animal back onto their territory
TNVR programs endeavor to safely manage the spread of potentially harmful diseases such as Rabies & effectively control overpopulation.
Such initiatives have proven success in other countries with similar stray phenomenon such as Asia.
Irhamna targets a specific territory, secures a location & resources over a period of a few days with the aim of treating as many street animals as possible.
The animals are then given food, shelter & aftercare to assist their recovery before being released back to their territory.
Our pilot program is a success with over 250 street animals so far successfully treated.
