He isn’t an outlier. In CARE’s research, 72% of BIPOC participants who tried to get a pet from a shelter or rescue had a negative experience. For people who found a pet through friends, family, or neighbors, it was 23%.
No one in animal welfare (we hope) set out to build that wall. Most of us came to this work out of love for animals and for the people who love them. But a wall goes up one well-meant policy at a time, and it can come down the same way.
REDI is where we start
taking it down, together.
REDI TESTIMONIALS:
What is REDI?
REDI stands for Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. It is CARE’s set of online courses for people who work or volunteer with animals and families: shelter and rescue teams, animal care and control, veterinary medicine, and anyone in between.
Every course looks closely at bias, belonging, and community care in the settings where you work. They are built by CARE and offered through HAW Academy, our home for Human and Animal Well-Being learning.
