Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Programs: To prevent neglect or mistreatment of animals within the state of colorado & elsewhere; to counsel, aid & cooperate with other persons & agencies in the enforcement of the animal protection act as it applies to horses not used in the production of food or fiber, as well as to animals defined as pets within the state of colorado & elsewhere: during fy18, our 4 animal-protection agents provided services to 39 colorado counties (an increase of 1 county over fy17) traveling more than 100,000 square miles. We responded to 278 reports of neglect or mistreatment involving more than 1,400 animals. Additionally, we partnered with the statewide crime stoppers hotline on cases resulting from 184 tips.
to educate the public on animal welfare issues, support animal-friendly legislation and act as a resource to individuals and groups interested in the prevention of cruelty and neglect of animals: education makes up 75% of our efforts. During fy18, we sponsored or taught classes on investigative techniques for animals, and we trained multiple agencies in animal-related topics. We spread the word about animal cruelty - how to recognize it and ways to report it throughout colorado. Proactive efforts to enlist the help of the public in reporting potential animal cruelty also included the development of media releases, communication through social media, website, advertising, brochures and activities with colorado 4-h.
