OUR GOALS
This workshop brings together different voices and perspectives to best address dogs and cats issues in Indonesia.
Here are our aims for the workshop:
-
Empower NGOs and veterinarians to recognize illegitimate dog and cat rescue scams on social media, understand the role of vets in these scams, and protect NGOs identity and data from misuse
-
Provide a clear understanding of the link between rabies prevention and sustainable dog population management and support humane, evidence-based approaches over ineffective methods like mass killing, removal, or relocation
-
Build stronger connections between grassroots organizations, veterinarians, and policymakers to work toward sustainable changes together
