Activity 4: Foundation/Organization and its Campaigns

What to do:
Read the following information about the welfare foundations / organization
in conservation of animals and organize the information given using the table
below.

Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), drafted from Republic Act 8485
or the Philippine Animal Welfare Bill. It promotes adopting instead of buying pets in
the Philippines, which increased the number who actually did. As a member of the
national Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, it rescued abandoned and
injured animals from a village ravaged by a landslide.
Philippine Animal Rescue Team (PART), has a four – hectare farm in San
Jose del Monte City, Bulacan, where 500 homeless dogs, cats, turtles, chickens,
turkeys and goats roam freely. As the first and only “no – kill” animal rescue
organization in the country, it aims to cease killing animals that are not suffering
from any ailment.
CARA Welfare Philippines, employs a trap – neuter – return program to
control street animal population. They also manage a sanctuary for pitballs rescued
from a dog – fighting syndicate.
Happy Animals Club, nine – year – old Ken Amante’s dream was to keep
stray dogs and cats off the street. It quickly became a reality when photos of him
feeding animals on the street went viral on social media. Donations started pouring
in from around the world. His father told him it would take him 20 years to get a
shelter. But now, the Happy Animals Club leases a 1,000 – square meters’ lot,
which has too large pens, two apartments, and an annex. It also rescues dogs from
the city pound to avoid euthanasia.
Animal Welfare Coalition (AWC), Established in 2006 by other animal
Welfare groups, AWC focuses on proper pet care, animal control, and the dog meat
trade. AWC was one of the groups that helped restore the snout of Kabang “The
Hero Dog”, who jumped in front of a motorcycle to save the life of two children in
2011.
Philippine Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA),
organized in 1904 and enforced through commonwealth Act 1285, the PSPCA is
one of the oldest organizations in the country. Its clinic in Quiapo, Manila, can
 Page 14 of 31

accommodate check-ups, provide medicine, become a shelter, and give daycare and
grooming services for animals.[ CITATION tee19 \l 13321 ]

 Volunteer. If you don’t have money to give, donate your time. Many
organizations and zoos have volunteer programs. You can help clean
beaches, rescues wild animals or teach visitors.
 Visit zoos, aquarium, national parks and wildlife refuges are all home
to wild animals. Learn more about our planets species from experts.
 Donate. When you visit your local accredited zoos and nature
reserves, pay the recommended entry fee. Your donations help
maintain these vital conservation areas.
 Speak Up. Share your passion for wildlife conservation with your
family. Tell your friends how they can help. Ask everyone you know to
pledge to do what they can to step wildlife trafficking.
 Buy responsibly. By not purchasing products made from endangered
animals or their parts, you can stop wildlife trafficking from being a
profitable enterprise.
 Pitch In. Trash isn’t just ugly, it’s harmful. Birds and other animals
can trap their heads in plastic rings. Fish can get stuck in nets. Plus,
trash pollutes everyone’s’ natural resources. Do your part by putting
trash in its place.
 Recycle. Find new ways to use things you already own. If you can’t
reuse, recycle. The Minnesota Zoo encourage patron to recycle mobile
phones to reduces demand for the mineral coltran, which is mined
from lowland gorilla’s habitats.
 Restore. Habitat destruction is the main treat to 85% of all
threatened and endangered species, according to the International
Union for Conservation of Nature. You can help reduce this threat by
planting native trees, restoring wetlands, or cleaning up beaches in
your area.
 Join. Whether you’re into protecting natural habitats or preventing
wildlife trafficking, find the organization that speaks to your passion
and get involved. Become a member. Stay informed. Actively support
the organization of your choice.[ CITATION Sha17 \l 13321 ]
