WHAT WE ACHIEVED DURING 2006:

+ For the first time in South Africa's 12-year-democracy, ritual slaughter is to be regulated, making it illegal for unskilled people to perform this slaughter.

+ The first Kind Food Guide in South Africa was published and received wide media coverage. Even Oprah's O Magazine carried news of the Guide along with Odyssey, Biophile and Renaissance magazines.

+  Our years-long lobbying of the Constitutional Review Committee of Parliament resulted in the Department of Agriculture being directed by Parliament to draw up an updated Animals Protection Act and to implement it. Farmer's Weekly made much of the story.

+ The wonderful support of South Africans for the "Animals are Sentient Beings Petition" has resulted in Africa taking the lead in the global petition to the UN for recognition of animal sentience.

+ Our Western Cape Education Department consultant teacher on Humane Education was in much demand and presented Humane Education to global audiences at the WSPA Symposium in London in June and at a UN Forum in New York in September.

+ The world's first-ever scientific assessment of humane education on learner behaviour is about to begin in South Africa under our auspices.
