Last week we participated on Rabies vaccination campaign in Emborret village close to Tarangire National Park and more than 250 dogs and cats were provided with some of the following services for free.
- Advice on how to provide adequate guardianship of companion animals
- General veterinary advice
- Rabies vaccines
- Deworming and wound treatment
- Basic dog behavior advice
- Flea and tick preventative medicine
- Nail clipping
- Promotion of sterilization
This was a great opportunity not only to provide aid to dogs and cats that urgently need it, but also to reach people face to face and learn from their needs, concerns and interactions with their companion animals, so that we can develop more accurate solutions for them.
“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”
César Chávez
This is also a great example of good collaboration between government, local organizations and the community. I congratulate the Simanjiro district for this effort, and I am happy that MAWO is able to reach more people and animals with these programs.
OIPA TANZANIA – School clubs
Educating younger generation can easily form a future generation who grows up with knowledge, care and love for the animals. Education program based on animal welfare continues at Terat, Emboret and Laiborsoit Primary school Also in January we were invited to St. Constantine International School to Talk with Animal Welfare Club and continue give them education on animal welfare.
