October 21, 2008 – Because of Hurricane Omar, the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center (AWC) has been forced to postpone the Silent Witness Conference.
Originally scheduled for Friday, Oct. 24, at the Divi Carina Bay Conference Center on St. Croix, new dates for the conference will be chosen and announced as soon as possible.
Silent Witness will explore issues of animal cruelty in the territory. It is aimed at law enforcement, policy makers, the animal welfare community and citizens who wish to be a voice against violence in the territory.
Founded in 1973, the St Croix Animal Welfare Center promotes the humane treatment of animals in the St Croix community through education, encouragement, and enforcement. www.StCroixAWC.org
