It looks at the historical, political and philosophical context of the Department. It examines the validity of grievances made by local animal welfare groups against the Department and analyzes the LAAS Department structure and policies. Using a comparative case­study, it identifies the San Francisco animal care facilities as effective models for LAAS. Through an exploration of such themes, this report makes pragmatic policy recommendations for the Department with the goal of lowering shelter euthanasia rates. 3 INTRODUCTION 4 When asked about why activists have targeted LAAS in recent years, cofounder of Animal Defense League – Los Angeles (ADL­LA) Jerry Vlasik argued that the group wanted to focus on one municipal shelter whose reformed policies could translate “throughout the nation”. He believes that if the city goes “no­kill” it will serve as a model for all cities. Vlasik contends that LAAS is not worse than other municipalities.

    Redrover History Redrover (Formerly United Animal Nations) Is

    RedRover History RedRover (formerly United Animal Nations) is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1987 by animal rights pioneer Belton P. Mouras. Based in Sacramento, California, Mr. Mouras led a small group of humane movement workers on a mission to protect animals globally and unify people for animals’ sake. In the beginning, United Animal Nations (UAN) responded to a wide range of animal issues, including: elephant poaching in Africa, pet overpopulation, horse slaughter, whaling, inhumane treatment of primates in research, animals left behind during natural disasters and a variety of other animal cruelty and abuse situations. From the late 80s through the 90s, it supported a ban for the use of carriage horses, humane treatment for animals in the entertainment industry, Fur Free Friday, Earth Day, dolphin-safe tuna, saving horses from the inhumane Premarin production industry, animal anti-cruelty rewards and much more. Through the mid-2000s, advocacy efforts continued for the elimination of animal abuse and reduction of suffering of animals used in entertainment, animals used in research, farm animals, wildlife and exotics. With new leadership came refined focus. Nicole Forsyth was hired as President and CEO in 2006, and she brought the vision of preventing animal abuse by building and fostering empathy and compassion in children toward animals. Although helping animals in immediate crisis, such as natural disasters, has been a mainstay of the organization and this continues today, The Zig Zag Memorial Reward Fund for cruelty cases, the Premarin Awareness Campaign, The My Dog is Cool Campaign and the Hogwash Award designed to bring awareness to abuse were discontinued over the years and proactive efforts to create lasting positive change expanded.

    2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on or before May 7, 2020 I N T R O D U C T I O N A N D I N S I G H T S Organizations in the field of animal welfare employ a unique workforce with distinctive expertise in leadership, organizational governance, animal protection, animal cruelty investigation, behavior rehabilitation, veterinary care, adoption, fundraising, advocacy, human resources, finance, community education and collaboration. Although compensation and benefits surveys exist for many industries, no salary study is compatible with the knowledge and skills needed for mastery of animal welfare. For that reason, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (The Association) leadership were compelled to begin collecting data in 2003 (based on FY 2002 data). Since 2003, animal welfare services have evolved: adoption is no longer the main activity at animal care facilities as the numbers of homeless dogs and cats have declined in many regions; community needs have altered; collaborations and mergers have increased; and, animal focused legislation has fluctuated. In response, animal care facilities models continue to adapt to community and animal needs. Consequently The Association volunteer leadership continually reviews the compensation and benefits survey adding or altering job descriptions and accessing needs for additional decision making data. For instance, the effect on salary of those achieving Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) status; or, being a male/female in the same role are now studied. In 2019 the first “digital” survey was launched, based on FY 2018 data, allowing participants to instantly compare their data with other regions and budget size over a variety of key performance indicators.
