The team was prepared to operate on a maximum of 15 dogs, and so they set up the tables, hung a banner and were ready to go! Once the set up was done, the team begun registering the dogs present and the started out the operations, ...

All Creatures Animal Welfare League in collaboration with Kasungu Elephant Fund on 3 rd November 2016, held a free Spay and Neuter clinic with the support of the Humane Society International . The aim of the exercise was to reduce the number of stray animals around the park. To make the most of this initiative, the All Creatures Humane Education team set up a humane education session at Kaswam’chenje primary school , which is one of the schools surrounding the park. The team from Kasungu Elephant Fund assisted All Creatures by linking the Humane Education team with the school officials and setting up the event. The event was attended by the whole school; an estimated 1000 plus pupils who enthusiastically participated in the lesson. The pupils were taught about Rabies; how fatal it is, its signs and symptoms, preventative measures and what to do as first aid treatment for someone bitten by an animal suspected to have the virus. The staff at Kaswam’chenje primary ...

World Rabies Day Imagine 3500 pupils all gathered together for an interactive lesson about rabies; this is what “All Creatures” did on 28 th September 2016, we held this educative sensitization program as it was World Rabies Day. At “All Creatures” we have keen interest in children as we believe that it is easier and beneficial to train children in animal welfare in their formative years because this is when they are most impressionable and therefore teachable. We believe that whatever is learnt in these early stages of life has a lasting impression on the learners. It is because of this that “All Creatures” decided to take World Rabies Day to Kafulu primary school in area 22, Lilongwe to impress on the children the importance of Rabies vaccines and the precautionary measures to be taken against rabies and what should be done as first aid reaction when one is bitten by a dog suspected of having rabies. The children laughed, cheered, sang and danced as the...

Different peoples have among many other things, different practices, different appreciations and different palates; this sort of diversity makes human interaction exciting and makes the world a more colorful place especially at a time such as this when the world is increasingly becoming a global village. So people go to different places and experience different customs but as they say, “when you are in Rome, do what the Romans do”. In Malawi, it is an abomination for one to eat dog meat, even in the face of famines (which are not new to Malawi); it is unheard of that dog meat may be consumed. In Malawi, dogs and cats are the most common domestic animals and because of this, many people are very fond of them in a familial manner and so it goes without saying why the average Malawian is outraged at the slightest insinuation of dog as food. This is why it was pertinent for “All Creatures” to respond when we got a distress call from someone who was livid upon discovering that a ...

Do you remember passing your University Entrance Exam? Along with the joy and relief comes the concern of what the new experience will be like. Despite how exciting change is, it can be a little uncomfortable; one of the things that you will definitely have to face is the fact that you will be getting a new roommate 😝! You have absolutely no idea what they are like; are they neat and tidy? Are they quiet or noisy? Do they snore? Will they be kind and friendly or are they a grouch with whom you can’t ever hold a conversation? Then you meet and together you begin to build parameters and set boundaries, they say to you; “ Mesho * I don’t appreciate your using my plates and not cleaning them afterward”, or you say to them “ Mesho * please don’t keep your radio on all night, it disturbs my sleep” and so on and so forth. What you and your mesho * are looking to achieve is a state of harmony. The Oxford English dictionary defines harmony as “The state of being in agreement or concord” o...
