Animals for LIFE Summit

Animals for LIFE Foundation held their first summit on March 20 in Columbus, OH. Speakers included Dr. Temple Grandin of Colorado State University (and famously subject of a made-for-TV movie), Dr. Jeanette O’Quinn of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University and Association of Shelter Veterinarians and myself among several others. Animals for Life, established in 2009, celebrates the human-animal bond, and has awarded over $106,000 in grants to 20 recipients, on both the farm animal side to reading programs for children, a unique organization in many ways – and a very impressive one.
