Three months into our new strategic plan, and check! Progress being made. Like most strategic plans, the proof's in the pudding. Plans aren't made to sit on a shelf. I'm super proud of the OHS team, who's making sure that doesn't happen. One of the pillars of the new strategic plan is to provide more second changes for all animals - and our community was pretty specific: they're concerned about homeless cats. So, we need to find out more, to figure out how best to help. Ottawa connections - can you help? YOU ONLY NEED ONE MINUTE! To achieve our goal, we've launched a very quick survey about outdoor cats. Well over a thousand responses to date - but our goals are lofty - we want five thousand! Help me out and respond yourself, and share the link! I look forward to sharing the results, both with our community and to the humane sector! https://lnkd.in/dZQp_G_a

No safety for kids? Let's talk solutions. 🐕👶 It's alarming to read daily about incidents caused by stray dogs and aggressive animals, especially when children are the most vulnerable. Heartbreaking stories of kids aged 1-10 years falling victim to dog attacks are becoming too frequent. Recently, a woman was severely injured after being dragged by an aggressive buffalo.  Why is this happening? What are the root causes?  Another troubling sight is women begging with small children in the scorching sun. What have these innocent souls done to deserve this? If I had the means, I'd rescue every child from these dire situations. We need to address these issues at their core, ensuring safety and dignity for all.
