Click here for press release
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is holding a grass roots
meeting hosted by The Haven and the Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!) to
connect with area animal advocates.
This free meeting will be held on September 23, 2010, at the Fairhope Civic
Center from 6:00 to 8:00pm.
The meeting emphasizes the importance of grassroots efforts to further
protection for animals, whether through legislation or corporate and public
policy.
Mindy Gilbert, Alabama State Director for The Humane Society of the United
States, is the invited guest of Michael Graham, Executive Director, The Haven,
and Sonja Presley, BARC! Executive Director.
Gilbert's presentation reviews the programs and campaigns of the HSUS, and
what their efforts in Alabama are. She will receive ideas from the attendees
about what animal protection legislation they would support.
In her position, Gilbert is active on many fronts to promote animal welfare
legislation, fight animal cruelty in all forms, respond to animals in danger
from man-made and natural disasters, and engage like-minded citizens to
promote the protection of animals.
Gilbert is a past president of the Alabama Humane Federation. She was involved
in getting the state’s felony anti-cruelty law passed as well as laws that ban
hog-dog fighting spectacles and that require animals to be spayed or neutered
before they are adopted.
Please join us to learn what your area agencies are doing to help animals in
your community and what HSUS is doing in your state. Bring a friend and share
ideas to make the lives of animals better in Baldwin County.
