Dispelling Myths in Animal Welfare


Skirball Cultural Center, Sunday, November 11, 2012
Registration begins at 2:30PM, Event at 3:30PM


The Found Animals Forum is an annual event that brings together leaders in animal welfare and their perspectives to our Los Angeles animal welfare community. During this event attendees observe presentations from local and national experts in their respective fields and participate in a panel discussion on this year’s selected topic of Dispelling Myths in Animal Welfare. The Forum serves as a chance to provide the Los Angeles community with information and resources through a constructive, collaborative, community building event.


Please join us and our keynote speakers as they dispel common misconceptions faced everyday by municipal and private animal welfare organizations, uncovering the truths behind these myths. Whether you are an individual or a group, large or small, private or public, rescue or shelter – there will be relevant ideas you can implement to boost adoptions, reduce euthanasia and save more lives.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
