Last Class of our Intern

Our last class of our Intern. This was personally given by Director Yen I Feng himself! He is the director of the Taipei City Animal Protection Organization. What an honour for us.  

Director Feng was a very nice person who likes to joke a lot. Creating a very comfortable atmosphere for us all rather that just another session of class. He start of his presentation with an introduction of the Taipei City Animal Protection Office which he defined the team as Guardian of Animals. Such strong words which I'm sure will move the teams motivation to step up and stand up for the Animals!

The core values of the team is to provide specialize care efficiently and harmoniously to the Animal. Their Mission is to promote and protect the animal rights and welfare.

With a strong vision to transform Taipei City into an Animal Friendly City, they strives towards their goal with the strategy objectives
  1. To improve and perfect the animal management
  2. Safeguarding the health of the people and animals
  3. Initiate opportunities for the animal industry
  4. To build a sustainable animal environment
He also introduce their organization structure from the Animal Health Inspection Group, Animal Management Group, Animal Sheltering Group, Animal Industrial and Conservation Group to the Animal Rescue Team. Everyone plays a very vital role in helping the organization in achieving their goals! 


Director Yen is very interested with the animal issue in our country too!

Over the years they run countless event in promoting the responsibilities education to pet owners and to impart an "Animal Life Education" to the citizen of Taiwan. So many efforts put into educating the people, like for example the annual "Animal Caring Day" which was official set by Taipei City Government to the 24 April.    That is the day where pet owner will bring their pet and parade down the street of Taipei.

The 466 Animal Caring Parade!

Taipei City Home for Animals Shelter has sheltered 10, 644 homeless dogs and cats from 2010 to the end of June 2011! That's a huge number of strays they had rescued! The organization had been regularly advocating TNR activities in each district and street of Taipei

 We had a good time as he is very interactive during his session with us.

After the session it's time to check out their super cool Animal Rescue Team Vehicle which cost them NT1.7 Million! Director himself gave us  a tour~ how cool is that!

 He went out and ask the staff to drive the truck over..he was like "lai lai lai...reverse reverse..here here here"...haha...very nice of him to show us around.

One of the coolest vehicle I've ever seen I must say!

This is one of the latest truck the Animal Rescue Team use for Animal Rescue situation. It is fully equip with all the necessary facilities and cage that will assist in rescuing the animals and transporting them safely to the shelter. All the cages are equip with proper ventilation and also air-conditioned to make sure the animals gets the best environment while being transported to their destination.

One of the facilities is this elevator cage that can easily move more aggressive animals into the truck without hurting them.

Other cool built in facilities including a rear view monitor that is connected to a close circuit camera installed behind the truck for the Rescue Team to monitor the condition/situation on behind inside the truck while driving at the same time! COOL!

I'm pretending to be one of the rescue team's driver!

Other equipment includes oxygen tanks, masks and even the instrument for catching snakes!

It is without a doubt a well equipped Animal Rescue truck!     

The organization really welcome us with open arms. What a wonderful experience they implanted into my life. I will never forget all of these amazing life changing experience!
