The Dunoon Humane Education Groups main goals are:
1) to take action if we see an animal in distress or that is a stray, and either work with the owners to educate them (if there is one) into offering better care for their animals or through phoning the SPCA if the situation cannot be resolved.
2) to enforce sterilisation which helps to reduce unwanted and abused animals in Dunoon by educating o
wners on the importance of pet sterilisation and sterilising 5 animals a week in collaboration with the SPCA Grassy Park on a Monday.
3) to encourage owners to utilise local animal welfare clinics should their animals be sick and to take an active and involved approach to their animal's welfare, instead of leaving their animals to suffer or waiting for someone else to help their animals which always ends with their animal suffering.
4) educating the entire community of Dunoon, whether they have pets or not, to see something that is wrong and to do something about it, whether reporting an animal to the SPCA or us that is not being cared for properly or to offer education should a situation be easily rectified. Our group is community-led by residents from Dunoon and we have 10 members who each have different but important roles. Several members are extremely active however in signing up animals to be sterilised each week who also spend time educating owners on the importance of sterilisation and complete all the important paperwork needed to do this with the SPCA.
