September – Another Successful Month in Santa Cruz

September was marked as another successful month for Darwin Animal Doctors on Santa Cruz as we helped a total number of 107 animals on the island! By treating and spaying/neutering these 107 dogs and cats we not only prevented their would-be offspring from a life threatened by poisoning or car accidents, but also helped reduce the population of stray animals on the streets of Galapagos, who would be otherwise threatening the unique and very fragile biodiversity of the islands.

INFORME DEL MES DE NOVIEMBRE CIMEI SAN CRISTOBAL.
(NOVEMBER CIMEI SAN CRISTOBAL REPORT)
By Dr Freddy Alcocer – MEDICO VETERINARIO Y ZOOTECNISTA

English:

Working in conjunction with San Cristobel CIMEI, organized by CIMEI Coordinator and biologist Jackie Tipán, we taught the public how to take better care of animals for conservation, and provided a better quality of service.

It was necessary to show that we have maximized veterinarian services; I have therefore also provided home care, thus assessing the quality of life of different pets.

With respect to the pets that were adopted, I have made periodic visits to ensure that these pets are enjoying a good quality of life.

Deworming campaigns have been carried out successfully in various places such as:

Estación terrena
Manzanillo
Cerró verde
El chino.

Thus fulfilling the objectives of DAD.

1 .- Preservation with compassion.

2 .- To provide a quality veterinarian.

3 .- Working with the community.

4 .- To raise awareness of the care of different pets.

5 .- Teaching school children.

I have also provided training regarding Humane Education for five hours a week at local public schools to educate the children about taking care of their pets and to raise awareness with regard to the services that we provide.
