The results of this study are both unsurprising and affirming. At a recent national conference, one of the keynote speakers addressed a room full of tenured animal welfare leaders and said "we are spending far too much time justifying our work." It's not just the compassion fatigue and the vicarious trauma. It's the constant defending of every service, every decision, every expense, every interaction. What other field can you think of that requires the professionals in it to have to explain why their work is important, why it costs what it does, how every day-to-day decision is made, why experienced and professional staff are required, why anyone should care about or support it, and what it is exactly that every person being paid to do the work is actually doing? It's demeaning, exhausting, and unnecessary.
Our study (Peter Wolf, Chris Segrin) examining the well-being of animal shelter staff in the United States was recently published in the Journal of Shelter Medicine & Community Animal Health. Animal shelter staff experience burnout and secondary traumatic stress at levels just as high or higher than many other first responder professions and significantly higher than the general US population. Working in an animal shelter isn't just playing with puppies and kittens - sheltering is a complex profession that is equal parts emotional, physical, and mental.

ICYMI. The ARL took in 46 MORE dogs from the SAME commercial breeder we rescued nearly 100 dogs from last fall. As a community, we have to ask more questions. ????Why does this continue to happen? ????Why was this licensed commercial breeder allowed the opportunity to reoffend? ????What changes need to be made from the agencies who oversee licensed breeders on the inspection/licensing process so this doesn’t continue to happen? ????How do we ensure commercial breeders are giving adequate care, physically and mentally, to the animals under their supervision? ????How many more animals have to suffer before changes are made? Now is a great time to sign up to receive Action Alerts from the ARL’s Humane Action Network so you can be alerted to when YOU can take action to help strengthen animal welfare in Iowa. Sign up at ARL-Iowa.org/HAN, and be sure to like the ARL Humane Action Network Facebook page to stay in the know about animal issues in Iowa and beyond. https://lnkd.in/g69C7bvg

Developing science-first best practices aimed at humane care for cats and building peaceful communities should be a top priority. That's why Trap-Neuter-Return (#TNR) has become mainstream! Beyond saving cats’ lives, TNR is sound public policy that reduces calls to animal control, reduces the number of cats entering shelters, and reduces taxpayer expense, all while meeting the demands of the public for effective, meaningful, AND lifesaving action for cats in their communities.

Puppy/kitten farms are where pet shops and 3rd party sellers often get their "products". If you buy a puppy/kitten and don't see the mother and how they are kept, you are likely unwittingly contributing to the cruelty. SO-CALLED "GOOD" BREEDERS ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM. Healthy dogs/cats who've been abandoned and/or abused and babies from dogs/cats that weren't neutered/spayed by irresponsible guardians, desperate for a home, are KILLED, as shelters are full of unwanted "surplus" animals. Animals are treated like products, commodities that are bred and sold. People go to breeders and pet shops to buy a certain breed they want. If you love animals, help a poor little fur baby who needs a second chance at a happy life and a forever home. Of course you'll love any animal you'll give a home to, it's not their choice to come from a breeder. But we can choose to stop adding to the demand and be a part of the solution instead. When you give a home to a shelter or rescue dog, it will feel a thousand times better to save this fur baby, than going to a breeder. Knowing your new fur baby has been given a second chance and you've given them the happy life they deserve, will make you happier than buying any particular breed. #adoptdontshop It's like a SILENT ATROCITY, that nobody wants to think about.?? Until it's government policy and legislation to ADOPT NOT SHOP and spay and neuter, the animal overpopulation problem and animal cruelty will continue. Too many people still consider this a "CONSUMER CHOICE" issue (where instead of a life, an animal is a PRODUCT, a commodity to be BOUGHT), rather than an ANIMAL CRUELTY issue, where we continue BREEDING domestic animals, knowing healthy, animals are PUT DOWN everyday like they are "waste product" because they are passed over for a shiny "new" animal of a designer breed. ???? There is no justification for this. We cannot BUY, whilst healthy animals DIE! #EndTheDemandEndTheCruelty ?? #adoptdontshop ? #rescueanimals ? #fosteranimals ? #spayandneuter ?? #banpuppymills ?? #bankittenmills ?? #banbreeders ?? #banpetshops ?? https://lnkd.in/exT6eHWN For anyone who thinks we don't kill shelter animals in the UK, YES WE DO, this happens everywhere: https://lnkd.in/e49e4ycN https://lnkd.in/e9A-kHCt There is no justification, ZERO, for breeding more domesticated companion animals, whilst healthy animals are killed in shelters. We cannot BUY, whilst healthy animals DIE! End the DEMAND, end the CRUELTY. The only solution is to stem the flow and stop breeding more.
