<Dr. Griffin currently serves as an assistant professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University, where her work focuses on research and educational and outreach programs involving nonlethal strategies for pet population control. At Auburn University, she directs Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program, which educates veterinary students and postgraduate residents in all aspects of shelter medicine, and aims to advance and disseminate scientific knowledge in the field of shelter medicine.

The Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program specifically emphasizes nonlethal means of controlling the pet surplus through humane strategies for pet population control that support the no-kill movement philosophically and by active education, research, and outreach. The ultimate goals of the program include improving the quality of shelter pets' lives, reducing shelter pet deaths, increasing the adoption of shelter animals, and establishing a solid foundation for saving all treatable shelter pets through implementation of model medical programs and research in no-kill shelters.>

This speaker coming to Oklahoma City soon. Dr. Brenda Griffin.This
presentation is sponsored by Oklahoma Alliance for Animals. I hope you will consider attending.

Please continue to support Councilor G.T. Bynum, as he continues to work on the
 euthanasia issue at the Tulsa Animal Shelter.(918)344-4346 gt@gtbynum.com
Let's speak for those that cannot speak for themselves!

 Mahatma Ghandi said “ The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be

judged by the way its animals are treated.” If he is right, then the citizens of

Tulsa, should be outraged and ashamed.  I followed the

articles in the paper closely, relieved to see an injunction on future killing

by the Mayor until these critical issues could be discussed.  I believed through

the efforts of Councilman Bynum and others that finally, humane treatment of the

animals and concern for the staff of the Shelter is the most important goal of

the city government.
