Rolly might be considered a “special needs cat,” but don’t let that fool you — he’s as energetic and playful as they come. For months, Rolly made all OHS staff and volunteers smile whenever they got to interact with him. These smiles were usually followed by sadness because Rolly was having such a hard time fi nding his forever family. Rolly’s special needs made him more diffi cult to adopt out. Without interacting with him or seeing how well he gets along with people, many viewed his blindness as a burden. Of course that wasn’t at all the case. After months of being overlooked by passersby, Rolly started to could help fi nd his forever home. Finally, one sunny day in become depressed.

It begins by examining some of the general discussions surrounding the use of animals in research. The historical views on the moral status of animals, the debate surrounding their use in animals, as well as the current 3R paradigm and its application in Canadian research are explored. The thesis then moves on to expound the moral system of utilitarianism as put forth by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, as well as contemporary additions to the system. It also looks at the basics of Buddhist ethics well distinguishing the Mahayana from the Therevada. Three case studies in animal research are used to explore how both systems can be applied to animal research. It then offers a comparison as to how both ethical systems function within the field of animal research and explores the implications in their application on its practice.

    50 Things You May Not Know about the Ottawa Humane Society 1. The Ottawa Humane Society is a very old organization. The OHS was founded in 1888, as the Women's Humane Society. Last year was our 125th Anniversary. 2. We are the parent of the Children's Aid Society. The OHS was founded to protect the welfare of animals and children. The Children's Aid Society branched off from the OHS several years later. 3. The Ottawa Humane Society is a not-for-profit and a registered charity. We are governed by a board of 14. 4. The OHS may be bigger than you think. Last year, our regular staff compliment was 102 full- and part-time staff. (Though almost half are part-time.) Our budget is $6.2 million. Nearly two-thirds of this comes from donors and supporters. 5. The OHS is now located at 245 West Hunt Club Many people still don't know that we relocated in June 2011. 6. West Hunt Club is the OHS's fourth shelter. The first was built on Mann Avenue in 1933. 7. The new OHS West Hunt Club shelter is more than three times the size of the old Champagne Ave. Shelter. Despite its size, one month after it opened in June 2011, the new shelter was full. 8. The OHS cares for over 10,000 animals every year. Last year, 6,181 were cats; 2,111 were dogs; 1,279 were wildlife; 411 were small animals 9. Despite the fact that Ottawa is growing, the number of homeless animals is not.

  • 2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on Or Before May 7, 2020
    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.
