(IN) 2 Days Workshop on Animal Welfare & Garbage Control in Raigad Dist.

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

On Thursday, 22nd May, I attended the workshop on 'Animal Welfare &

Garbage Control' organized by neighboring Dist. Collector of Raigad Dr.

Nipun Vinayak with 2 PAWS volunteers Ms. Crystal Fernandes & Mr. Aashim

Maske. I was speaker for ABC Rules, Slaughter Houses & Laws, and Stray

Cattle Problem. We also played Beauty without Cruelty video, distributed

Performing animal's awareness brochure & Marathi Laws copies.

 

There was huge response for the Workshop. Thanks to Roxanne Conz-Davur

of Terra Anima Trust, who made collector to organize everything. In

Defense of Animals also joined this session in afternoon. They had a

talk on Sterilization & Animal Birth Control Programs by Goodicia

Vaidya, Sudnya Patkar & Dr. Guruprasad Mahadik.

 

Over 120 people attended which are local policy makers like Corporators,

Animal Husbandry, Municipal Health Officers, Police personnel, 5

Presidents of Municipal councils & CEO's attended the workshop. Roxanne

taught about Banning plastic on beaches, pony & horse carts, and Garbage

control. Next day's workshop was on Vermi-culture, Compost, Medical

Waste, Nutrition Management, Rag-pickers, Urban Waste Management,

Rain-Water Harvesting & Solid Waste Management including E-Waste

(Electrical Waste).

 

We hope the workshop will come out with concrete results & mainly stop

Bullock cart races which already banned by high-court. The collector's

interest & participation was amazing.
