Adolfo Sansolini – Animal Welfare Consultant

adolfo sansolini's photoSeveral months into the life of this website, AnimalWelfareAndTrade has developed a slightly broader scope than just an overview of my activities.

News has been published on a number of animal welfare issues, and I was glad to see that the traffic data has shown interest from users around the world .

As we reach the end of 2011, I want to use this space to thank all those who have allowed me to lead the 8hours campaign to coordinate the CAROdog website and related activities, and to be part of the extraordinary adventure of Italian Horse Protection.

Also, I am grateful for the privilege of being included among the speakers at the Cátedra CUMEX in Guadalajara last June.

Latin America’s work for animal welfare is truly amazing, although still goes largely unrecognised outside the continent. 

New updates and projects around AnimalWelfareAndTrade will take shape in 2012.

In the meanwhile, we can get ready to celebrate the million signatures on the 8hours petition that is likely to be reached at the dawn of the new year, and the success of the related Written Declaration, which has seen a great start in the European Parliament.

Thank you all for visiting this website and for your support for the projects highlighted in it.firma
