Meat, fur, and other animal derived products move easily across borders, along with ideas and practices relating to the treatment of animals, so animal protection campaigns must also be global. Drawing upon examples from the campaigns against factory farming in developing countries/emerging economies, the trans-continental effort to halt the slaughter of seals for fur, and local programs to protect companion animals in China, this workshop showcases an array of strategies (including influencing international trade and investment policies, and utilizing on-line communication tools) to foster compassion worldwide. Participants will be invited to examine their responsibilities and roles in protecting animals outside of their country.
