Join us at the Singapore Animal Welfare Symposium 2009!

[Guest guest]

The second Singapore Animal Welfare Symposium, co-organised and hosted by NUS

Students' Animal Welfare Group and ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education

Society) will take place on Saturday the 16th May 2009 at NUS (National

University of Singapore).

 

Open to all, the Symposium is a platform for members of the public, as well as

animal-related organisations, to convene and discuss issues affecting domestic

and wild animals and those exploited on an industrial scale and come up with

effective ways to end animal suffering.

 

Lively discussions on the topics of Wild Animals in Entertainment and Domestic

Animal Welfare, with panellists from local animal protection groups, will put

the spotlight on these pressing concerns and allow all of us who care about

animals to discuss how we can successfully address these issues and together

come up with effective strategies to end animal exploitation.

 

This year, exciting presentations will also be made by the 2008 Animal

Protectors Grant recipients, showing how they have made a positive difference

for animals in Singapore over the past year, and sharing how you can make a

difference too!

 

The Symposium will also see the launch of the 2009 Animal Protectors Grant. Come

along and find out how you can apply for the grant and make 2009 the year that

your dreams for helping animals come true!

 

Attendance at the Symposium can be your first step on the rewarding path to

becoming an advocate for animals or, for those already involved in the animal

welfare movement, the Symposium is a wonderful opportunity to meet with

like-minded people, chat to local animal welfare experts and learn how you can

do even more to help our furred, feathered and scaled friends!
