Animal Welfare Committee
George Petrellis, AWC Chair
IVSA’s Animal Welfare
Committee is IVSA’s first
standing committee which main
goals are to help and benefit
animals, as well as to improve the
standards of animal welfare by
spreading the awareness of
problems, creating sustainable
projects and opportunities
worldwide.
After some recent reformations,
today the AWC consists of me,
Tereza Šteflíčková, Caroline De
Meyer, Janice Magayano and
Ilakiya. Our main task for the
remaining portion of our term is
to complete the creation of the
official AWC website where
everyone can find us and to
inform the public about welfare
problems today. We will continue
to have a highly active social
media profile via our Facebook
page by continually
posting news and facts
on animal welfare and
continue with our Story
project. The Story project
aims to highlight animal
welfare around the globe
through the eyes of
simple people’s narration
of their own experiences.
What is more, we are
planning to recruit local
officers to help us reach
even more people and
create a worldwide
network of people who
will send us feedback on
their communities’ animal
welfare statuses and problems,
and will be willing to create local
events on animal welfare. Other
projects such as a Debate on
animal welfare and the
organisation of an Animal
Welfare Week are currently being
discussed.
Our Committee is devoted and
focused on its goal which is to
help and protect animal from the
smaller to the bigger ones and
promote their welfare on every
level by reaching out to as many
people as possible, and to
motivate and educate them.
