The date has been set! The second Singapore Animal Welfare Symposium will take place on Saturday the 16th May 2009 at NUS (National University of Singapore), Lecture Theatre 27.

Co-organised and hosted by NUS Animal Welfare Club and ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education Society), this year's Symposium is set to be even bigger and better than last years inaugural event!

Lively discussions on the topics of Wild Animals in Entertainment and Domestic Animal Welfare, with panelists from local animal protection groups, will put the spotlight on these pressing concerns and allow all of us who care about animals to discuss how we can successfully address these issues and together come up with effective strategies to end animal exploitation.

This year, exciting presentations will also be made by the 2008 Animal Protectors Grant recipients, showing how they have made a positive difference for animals in Singapore over the past year, and sharing with you how you can make a difference too!

A special “Cruelty-Free Bazaar”, the first of its kind in Singapore, will showcase some of the fantastic products available in Singapore that have not involved any animal suffering.

Come and get your hands on some vegan goodies and treat yourself to some animal-friendly toiletries that have not been tested on animals. All the cruelty-free products you need in one place- an ethical shopper's delight!

Last but not least, the Symposium will see the launch of the 2009 Animal Protectors Grant. Come along and find out how you can apply for the grant and make 2009 the year that your dreams for helping animals come true!

Attendance at the Symposium can be your first step on the way to becoming an advocate for animals, or for those already involved in the animal welfare movement the Symposium is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends with like-minded people, chat to local animal welfare experts and learn more about how you can do even more to help our furred, feathered and scaled friends!
