Webinar – 12/8/20 – Looking Back to Look Forward: Why Fear and Bias Have Weakened the Animal Welfare Movement – The AAWA and PetfinderPro

Virtual

The AAWA and PetFinder Pro Present: The animal welfare field is fueled by compassionate individuals who share a deep love of animals. At the same time, that compassion has not always been extended to the other side of the leash. Fear and bias have created structural barriers to adoption, unequal access to pet care resources, and missed opportunities to accomplish our lifesaving goals. Together, we will learn how to identify outdated practices and policies while addressing the underlying, well-intentioned concerns that have kept them in place.
