The International Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Presents:
The welfare of urban animals in Canada is the common link between all sectors of the pet industry. With a long history of philosophical differences these sectors have frequently found it a challenge to collaborate. This presentation will discuss the reality the industry is currently facing and why national codes of conduct are desperately needed to help address homing issues.
Louis McCann will propose a step by step plan on how to work together and explain why a cooperative pooling of resources is the path to progress. He will offer evidence of other success stories and discuss how existing materials can help pave the way to developing codes of conduct. Louis will share his experiences from both the SPCA and business sides of the industry to illustrate why a unified approach is the key for success.A Framework for National Codes of Conduct
