How we made a difference‌
...for companion and working animals
With your help in 2007... s Working with our member societies and national governments, we helped nearly 70,000 dogs by providing treatments including vaccinations and neutering in 12 different countries. s We also spread the responsible pet ownership message to children and adults in these countries. s We liaised regularly with key global organisations, such as the World Organisation for Animal Health, the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization, regarding the need for humane rabies control and stray animal population management.
s We treated more than 300,000 working horses, donkeys and mules in eight countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. s With our member societies, we trained nearly 20,000 equine owners in how to care for their animals properly. s With our member society Animal Freedom Korea, we campaigned against the dog and cat meat trade in Korea. We supported undercover investigations at dog meat farms, funded public awareness activities and lobbied against the trade nationally and internationally.
s We were pleased to help the governments of 16 countries that asked us for advice on how to manage their stray cat and dog populations humanely.
