Horsing Around @ Doha Animal Fest |
Meeting this week at Park Hyatt Doha, Qatar, the Annual Animal Transportation Association (ATA) Conference February 16-19 is not just horsing around. The 51st ATA Conference features what you need to know in the animal transportation industry, including a variety of workshops and panels on topics of interest to animal transportation professionals, via a number of social and networking events. Not much publicized, and perhaps in the shadow of events this week in Nairobi and elsewhere, this organization deserves attention and support for its great work, delivering dedicated focus to developing safe and humane animal transport worldwide. The ATA Annual includes a number of opportunities for animal transportation professionals to learn about the latest technologies and resources that can help them improve their work. ATA was founded in 1974 by a group of animal transportation professionals who were eager to promote the safe and humane transportation of animals. Over the past 51 years, the ATA has grown to become the most respected professional organization for animal transport in the world. Even with announced support from The International Air Cargo Association TIACA, ALACAT, International Air Transport Association (IATA) and others, maybe you missed this conference. IATA sent Maria Jitomirski, Manager Special Cargo who spoke Tuesday on “Standards & Regulation Innovations,” and that was just one highlight of this most diverse and technical event. Roundtable discussions on the menu opened up ideas and solutions airing out “Risks In Transport”. Later, after an interesting presentation on Sheep Handling Strategies by Charlie McMullen, CEO of Intradco Global, a Livestock Roundtable Discussion rocked the room. Nice looking, powerful and committed people, both young and energetic and older, but all wise to best practices on how to move our four-legged friends so everybody can say ,"thanks for the ride". Not to be forgot, with a tip of the hat to Qatar Airways Cargo, which hosted and welcomed and sponsored ATA in Doha this week. Qatar Cargo Live Animal Centre is the hub, where conferees are situate in the premier animal shipping operation in the world. Apropos of all of this, QR Cargo has placed on Page One of their very hi-tech Animal Centre website some words that tell you right away where they are coming from: “Those who teach us the most about humanity aren’t always human.” Those words by author Donald L. Hicks are at the heart of Qatar Animal Centre’s philosophy about caring for animals in transit. More on ATA here. GDA |
