The responsibilities of the council dog warden

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } A:link { color: #0000ff } –>

Within the UK every council has a responsibility to enforce the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Section 149 deals specifically with stray dogs and dog wardens, also known as animal welfare officers, are appointed by the council to deal specifically with this issue.

The Dog Warden’s job is varied and requires a wide range of skills. They are not only responsible for the control of stray dogs and dog fouling and investigating any welfare complaints made by the public but they are also involved in promoting responsible ownership. This may include visiting schools where they will teach children about their responsibility as a pet owner.

Dog Wardens have the power to issue penalty fines to people who refuse to clean up after their pets, they can apprehend stray dogs and investigate any noise nuisance caused by barking dogs and take appropriate action. The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and the Dog Act 1879 also gives the warden the power to seize and detain any dog deemed as dangerous.

A Dog Wardens must not only have an in-depth knowledge of the animals they deal with and their requirements but they must also have the ability to build strong relationships with the public. However, the main priority of the dog warden is to enforce the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

The act consists of 5 main principles:

• Ensuring the animal has a suitable place to live

• Ensuring the animal is fed a healthy diet

• Ensuring the animal has the company it needs whether it be with people or other animals

• Ensuring the animal behaves in an acceptable manner at all times

• Ensuring the animal is kept safe and healthy at all times.

Enforcing this act can make the warden’s job very difficult and any incident reported of a dog being treated unfairly must be investigated.

In some circumstances this may result in a dog being ‘seized’ or removed from a premises. Not all pet owners are cooperative in this type of situation and things may quickly become heated. Often working alone, the warden’s lone worker safety is paramount and he or she must therefore become proficient in the management of confrontation along with their many other skills.

The majority of these applications are submitted to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By describing the inner workings of the NIH extramural programs and providing practical information about grant programs and processes, this authoritative work is designed to help investigators gain a more favorable edge in obtaining support for their research proposals. It offers practical insights into a broad spectrum of the basic and clinical research interests of the 21 NIH research granting components, and identifies the various mechanisms of support. Descriptions, guidance, and advice are also provided on specific areas such as how to prepare a grant application; the peer review system, the procedures leading to award decisions, the responsibilities of the NIH staff in managing the review and referral of applications, and managing grant programs. Other extramural policies and procedures are covered such as the appeals system, animal welfare, the privacy act, and research involving human subjects. Legislation, funding, and the NIH budget are also discussed. Written by two former senior-level managers at the National Institutes of Health and current consultants to several USPHS agencies, A Guide to NIH Grant Programs is a valuable reference source for members of the biomedical and behavioral research community.

Animals Property & The Law $23.06 “Pain is pain, irrespective of the race, sex, or species of the victim,” states William Kunstler in his foreword. This moral concern for the suffering of animals and their legal status is the basis for Gary L. Francione’s profound book, which asks, Why has the law failed to protect animals from exploitation? Francione argues that the current legal standard of animal welfare does not and cannot establish fights for animals. As long as they are viewed as property, animals will be subject to suffering for the social and economic benefit of human beings. Exploring every facet of this heated issue, Francione discusses the history of the treatment of animals, anticruelty statutes, vivisection, the Federal Animal Welfare Act, and specific cases such as the controversial injury of anaesthetized baboons at the University of Pennsylvania. He thoroughly documents the paradoxical gap between our professed concern with humane treatment of animals and the overriding practice of abuse permitted by U.S. law.

Dale Peterson’s account sweeps across broad issues of conservation and animal welfare that are linked to human welfare and should be the concern of everyone everywhere.”–Edward O. Wilson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning On Human Nature”I applaud Dale Peterson for taking on this challenging subject with courage and honesty. In identifying development, in the form of logging, as the primary threat to biodiversity in Africa, this book gets it right, and I recommend it most highly to anyone who wishes to be let in on the secrets of Africa’s biggest conservation crisis.”–Marcellin Agnagna, former Director of Wildlife and National Parks for the Republic of Congo”The African Great Apes, our closest living relatives, are in imminent danger of extinction. Eating Apes, in beautiful prose, exposes the enormity and complexity of this conservation crisis. It took great courage to gather and present this information.

We should all thank Dale Peterson and Karl Ammann for this powerful book, which should end that ignorance. Everyone should read it, and then insist that their governments act before it is too late.”–Peter Singer, author of Animal

Just a Dog: Understanding Animal Cruelty and Ourselves $16.84 Psychiatrists define cruelty to animals as a psychological problem or personality disorder. Legally, animal cruelty is described by a list of behaviors. In Just a Dog, Arnold Arluke argues that our current constructs of animal cruelty are decontextualized-imposed without regard to the experience of the groups committing the act. Yet those who engage in animal cruelty have their own understandings of their actions and of themselves as actors. In this fascinating book, Arluke probes those understandings and reveals the surprising complexities of our relationships with animals. Just a Dog draws from interviews with more than 250 people, including humane agents who enforce cruelty laws, college students who tell stories of childhood abuse of animals, hoarders who chronically neglect the welfare of many animals, shelter workers who cope with the ethics of euthanizing animals, and public relations experts who use incidents of animal cruelty for fundraising purposes. Through these case studies, Arluke shows how the meaning of “cruelty” reflects and helps to create identities and ideologies.

Laboratories In Oregon $9.43 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Oregon National Primate Research Center – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Construction of the facility began in 1961 after a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. It was built on 240 acres (0.97 km) in Washington County and opened in 1962. In 1970, the Oregon location became the first of the regional centers to build and use outdoor breeding facilities. By 1976 the campus housed 18 different species and 2,100 total animals while employing 225 people. In 1988, the Center adds the Cooley Center for Cell and Molecular Biology to the campus, followed by the Animal Services Building in 1992. OHSU takes over in 1998 when the center is merged into the university. In 2002, the Center is renamed from the Oregon Regional Primate Center to the current name after the NIH changes the designation of all the primate research centers. The center receives unannounced bi-annual inspections by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International since 1975. As required by the Animal Welfare Act, the center also maintains an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee; each IACUC must consist of at least one veterinarian with training in laboratory animal science and expertise in the species under consideration, at least one practicing research scientist, and at least one person not affiliated with the institution to represent community interests in proper care and use of animals. Aerial view of the facilityScientists at the Oregon National Primate Research Center have published several research projects which have a made significant impact on health sciences.
