AnimalsTaiwan hosted yet another great Pub Quiz this summer! This quiz was a music quiz and took place at Citizen Cain. The event was a big success, raising $16,900NT!

The pub quiz saw nine teams battling it out for $NT10,000 in prizes. Contestants had to prove their musical history savvy by answering four rounds of questions covering forty years of music: the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties.

這個夏天,動物台灣舉辦了另外一場很棒的Pub音樂問答賽!這次的音樂問答賽,活動的地點在Citizen Cain。這個活動非常成功,為我們募到新台幣16,900元!

     
這場pub問答賽中有9個隊伍一起競爭新台幣10,000元的槳金。參賽者須藉由回答有關40年來音樂相關問題,以證明他們的音樂知識。題目分別是60年代,70年代,80年代以及90年代的歌曲。

Educational Program for Wah Wah World School

小朋友教育活動

AT recently held what we hope to be the first of many educational events for young children. The event consisted of a morning with students ages 6-8 from Wah Wah World School.  Students got the chance to meet some of the adorable dogs from our facility. Many children are taught to be afraid of animals from a very young age. The purpose behind the event was to dispel many of the myths that children have been taught about stray dogs.

Education and public awareness is an area in which AT would really like to start directing more of its energy and attention. If you are a teacher, writer, artist or someone who enjoys writing, public   speaking and is interested in creating educational materials of doing educational events like the one above for AT please contact .

動物台灣最近舉辦一個針對小朋友的教育活動,這是我們預計要舉辦的許多活動的第一波。此活動的對象是來自Wah Wah World School,年齡層為6-8歲的上午班小朋友。小朋友藉此機會,與我們動物台灣可愛的小狗見面。許多小朋友從小就被教育不要接近小動物,這個活動的目的是要消除這個"小朋友必須要遠離流浪狗"的迷思。

教育以及大眾的體認是我們動物台灣想要開始著手的地方,希望可以引起更多的重視。如果你是老師、作家、藝術家、或是喜歡寫作以及演說的人,且對建立教育活動,就像動物台灣所舉辦的活動,相關的教材有興趣,請立即與 聯繫。.

台北動物電影節

Taipei Pet Film Festival

To help promote better pet care and animal awareness in Taiwan, the Taipei Veterinarian Medical Association teamed up with Taipei Municipal Institute for Animal Health and other animal-care activist groups in offering free clinic services and assorted pet-care-related activities at the nation's first Taipei Pet Film Festival. This event, held on September 16th and 17th, was hosted at two different locations: Taipei City in the daytime, and Danshui in the evenings. Recent favorite pet films such as "Lassie", "102 Dalmatians", and "Quill" were shown at designated times and at various locations.

為了培養國內更完善的寵物照顧和動物保育方案,台北市獸醫師公會、台北市動物衛生檢驗所以及各大保護動物團體聯合舉辦了第一屆台北動物保護活動暨寵物電影節。此活動有獸醫師免費義診時間、教導民眾如何愛護寵物等等相關善型活動,分別在9/16,  9/17兩天舉行,白天地點位於台北市青少年育樂中心,傍晚則在淡水捷運站出口。民眾也可欣賞六部經典寵物影片,其中包誇"靈犬萊西""102真狗"、還有"再見了,可魯"

Animals Taiwan was invited to participate in the  evening sessions by the Danshui MRT station.  On the second day of the event, a one-hour slot was   reserved on stage for Animals Taiwan to showcase our organization and three of our adorable canines: Prince, Elvis, and Ariel.  This was another good   opportunity for our volunteers to address to the    public the plight of homeless and abused animals in Taiwan.

Although overcast skies and periods of intermittent rain accompanied both days, many AT volunteers were hard at work to help with fundraising efforts.  At the conclusion of this Pet Film Festival event, Animals Taiwan had raised over NT$38,000, and had added 20 new names to our volunteers' list!  A special thanks to volunteers Zoe and Carol for coordinating the event and making this fundraising activity possible for Animals Taiwan!

Animals Taiwan這次受邀參與此盛會,攤位剛好擺在人潮擁擠的淡水捷運站出口旁。在第二天的活動中,主辦單位挪出一個小時的舞台時間給Animals Taiwan,好讓AT志工們利用此機會介紹AT成立的目的以及AT自家的三隻愛犬PrinceElvisAriel的辛酸故事,並借由牠們的故事,呼籲國人有關流浪動物以及受虐動物問題的嚴重性。

雖然兩天的天氣都是陰天外加局部陣雨,但是還是有許多AT志工們都很賣力地幫忙募款和義賣。台北寵物電影節對AT來說,收穫非常豐碩,募款總金額超過38000元,還有吸引了20位人士來報名當AT志工! 此時要特別感謝ZoeCarol這兩位超級大善人為了這個活動所做的付出!
