Norwegian Animal Protection Day held in Oslo

On Saturday March 21st I attended Dyreverndagen (the Norwegian Animal Protection Day) at DogA in Oslo. The event was organised by a working group sorting under Minding Animals Norway, consisting of some 15 volunteers. Some 170 people attended the event, which consisted of a seminar at day-time and a party/concert with award ceremonies in the evening.

I was on stage at two occasions - first at the end of the seminar, when I surprised project leader Hilde Valbjørn Hagelin with a bouquet of flowers. And then in the evening, I presented the winner of the 2015 Minding Animals award.

Re-designed homepage for Norwegian Animal Protection Day

Dyreverndagen [the Norwegian Animal Protection Day], to be held in Oslo March 21st 2014, now has a re-designed homepage. Kudos to Hipp Hurra.

Webpage for Norwegian Animal Protection Day 2015 launched; Minding Animals Prize planned

A working group sorting under Minding Animals Norway is preparing Norwegian Animal Protection Day 2015, which is to take place in Oslo in Spring 2015. The ultimate goal is to make this an annual event. The event will include a seminar and a party with one or more prizes being awarded (including the Minding Animals Prize for best Human-Animal Studies research).

Here is the website of the Norwegian Animal Protection Day 2015. The organising committee is currently looking for volunteers and sponsors.
