2 INTRODUCTION In developing countries:- stray animal populations often large; animal welfare laws weak; enforcement capability poor; General acceptance/ disregard of poor animal welfare practices. Animal welfare is generally low on a government s list of priorities NGO s often overwhelmed by demands on limited resources NGO s often sceptical about governments interest in animal welfare and pessimistic/ dismissive about attempted collaboration INTRODUCTION NGO s should be proactive and initiate the working relationship with government rather than reactive or combative, to inadequate or inhumane handling of animal welfare issues Opportunity for consultation and a chance to influence decision making Opportunity to build government support and funding into welfare programs Improvements in animal welfare achieved only through changes to legal and institutional framework along with education and provision of services Long term sustainable improvements require Government intervention INTRODUCTION Examples taken from Trinidad and Tobago Islands in the Southern Caribbean Large stray animal population Outdated animal welfare legislation Two main animal welfare NGO s - Animal Welfare Network (AWN) and the TTSPCA 2

3 INTRODUCTION AWN officially launched in 2000, attained charitable status in Voluntary organization with a focus on education and spay/neuter. Networks with veterinary professionals, government agencies and NGO s to implement animal welfare programs. TTSPCA started in 1895 and affiliated to the RSPCA.

Focus is on managing the shelters. ganisations lt credibility gaged local and central government image in In the last eight years these actively and improving the welfare of animals GETTING STARTED NGO must be professional, credible and financially transparent An NGO must build its credibility. Should clearly stated and unambiguous aims and objectives. Leadership should be representative of organization (elected).

4 GETTING STARTED Stay focused on your stated objectives Determine your focus eg. a well run shelter/ humane education / neutering. Focus efforts and resources on your stated objectives. Often difficult but you probably cannot solve all problems. Build credibility in your chosen area. For AWN the focus was promoting and supporting spay/ neuter programs. Demands from membership/ public to build a shelter would diverted resources away from main objective. Decision taken to collaborate with and support existing TTSPCA shelters. GETTING STARTED Background research Gather data and information on the animal welfare issues of main concern. Research roles and responsibilities of government agencies in relation to animal welfare. se may be dispersed among different arms of government. Understand existing legal framework and its limitations. Get advice on interventions and changes required. Identify areas of common concern which may not be animal welfare related, but rather, about public health, impact on tourism, impact on livestock etc. GETTING STARTED Background research Our Experience Authority and responsibility for animal welfare does not fall under any one agency. Legal interpretations of existing animal welfare laws prepared. No clear policy on animal welfare, laws are weak and outdated. Policy and legislation is the responsibility of Central Government. Local government responsible for stray animal management and canine control - implemented by regional corporations. Minimal enforcement of animal cruelty legislation by the police. Chief Government Vet primarily responsible for animals in the agricultural sector. may memory to open the image, or the image may been corrupted., 4
