Their Lives, Our Voices 2010 Wrap-up
The weekend of June 11th - 13th was honored with the third annual Their Lives, Our Voices (TLOV) conference from Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA). The conference gathers animal welfare advocates and activists together for a weekend of networking and learning about the latest news in the animal welfare movement, featuring numerous speakers and workshops for anyone interested. While attendees tend to be current activists, TLOV excludes no one, which makes it unique and offers a welcoming and open atmosphere.
