Ellie Parravani, former Better Lives for Dogs project manager for World Animal Protection.
Ellie loves all animals, but her real passion is for our four-legged friends – dogs. Dogs and people have lived together as companions for thousands of years. But sometimes dogs can come into conflict with the communities they live in.
Governments may respond to conflicts by inhumanely culling dogs in a misguided attempt to stop the spread of diseases like rabies, or to reduce the dog population. Not only is culling cruel, it’s ineffective too.
Ellie's blog brings you stories from around the world that show how we worked with governments and communities to implement solutions to these conflicts. From Peru to the Philippines, you’ll see how the our team worked tirelessly to create better lives for dogs.
