SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/1/20 - The Roundtable: Community Relations During A Time of Unrest - The AAWA

DESCRIPTION:Best Friends Town Halls\n\n\nThe Best Friends Town Hall series brings together thought leaders from Best Friends and across the industry to provide insight\, analysis\, and solutions to the unprecedented challenges to lifesaving that we’re all facing right now. \nThe topic of each town hall reflects the most earnest conversations happening that week in animal welfare. We treat the event as an interactive forum where live questions from attendees are answered with a crowd-sourced solution that benefits all. \nEvery live town hall is recorded and posted down below. Keep an eye on this page for updates each week. \nJoin us for our next Town Hall: \nKeeping Families Together: Navigating the Blurry Lines Between Neglect\, Cruelty and Lack of Access to Care– As we navigate the change to impounding only high-priority intakes\, Animal Control Officers come across field cases where impounding an animal is necessary. But\, there are also cases where providing the owner with resources keeps the pet at home and out of the shelter. Join us for this town hall where Best Friends Director of National Municipal and Shelter Support (and NACA president) Scott Giacoppo\, helps you define cruelty vs. resource deprivation to establish your own organizational guidelines for when to provide resources vs. impound an animal. \nPanelists:\nAudra Michael CPM\, Director\, Pinal County Animal Care and Control\nNick Walton\, Manager of National Municipal and Shelter Support\, Best Friends\nApril Moore\, Chief Officer of Animal Services\, Kansas City Pet Project \n\nRegister: Thursday\, October 1\, 2020 at 6:00 PM Eastern time.\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/best-friends-town-halls

SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/15/20 - The Love Affair That Changed America:  Pet Nation - The Bridge Club
DESCRIPTION:Veterinary medicine continues to evolve because we’ve become a pet nation. This is a conversation on how we got where we are today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn the last 20 years pets have gone from living in the backyard to sleeping on our beds\, and now show up outside of the home in every corner of America. Pet Nation tells the story of this seismic shift and the economic\, media\, legal\, political\, and social dramas springing from this cultural transformation. \nSince 1998 the pet population in the U.S. has almost doubled — about two-thirds of the country now owns a pet. No longer left to wander the neighborhood\, dogs and cats eat special food\, get individualized medical attention\, and even fly in the cabin. \nAs founder of the Animal Policy Group\, Mark Cushing gives us an inside look at the rise of Pet Nation\, tracking the myriad ways pets are adopted (a “Canine Freedom Train” runs south to north)\, reporting on pet rights legislation (and the unseen problems that come with elevating their status)\, revealing the truth about large scale breeders (many of whom have been wrongly targeted)\, and discovering that despite what many organizations would have us believe\, there is a shortage of dogs. \nIn this rare Bridge Club discussion\, we get to understand how Lassie did play a role in changing how pets are treated and more! Come join author\, Mark Cushing\, as we take the Pet Nation journey. \nThis book is currently for pre-order at Pre-order link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593083865?tag=randohouseinc39867-20 \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pet-nation-the-love-affair-that-changed-america-tickets-116250421139
