You don't have to agree with everyone, but you should keep disagreements civil. |
Hello: I just found something interesting while doing a search. Here it is: In April 2001, HSUS/HSI staff and their colleagues from Hawaiian Humane Society and Marin Humane Society (Novato, California) conducted courses in shelter management and animal welfare inspection techniques in Taiwan. Many of the students in these classes had participated in previous training sessions offered by HSUS/HSI under the auspices of the MOU with Taiwan's Council of Agriculture (COA). During the course of this trip to Taiwan, HSUS/HSI saw encouraging evidence of the effect of the on-going training we have been providing. Representatives visited a new animal shelter in a rural area several hours drive from Taipei. Of this visit, the HSUS's Martha Armstrong wrote: "We visited a new animal shelter [in I Lan County] that is run by a veterinarian who attended two of our previous trainings. This small but humanely run facility had healthy, happy dogs and puppies in clean runs and cages; a remarkably progressive adoption program (even by U.S. standards) that ensured that every animal adopted was vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered (including the puppies); and plans for a large exercise area where volunteers will be able to work with animals prior to adoption."
