Interesting wee fact brought to us by the lastest “Urban Animal” newsletter;
The PIAA also has a new CEO–Dr Joanne Sillince a vet who was previously a Board Member and former President of the Australian Veterinary Association–but also former EO of the Australian Chicken Growers Council in 2001 and CEO of the Australian Meat Processor Corporation later. She’s the third PIAA head in as many years and the 8th in the 15 years that organisation has been incorporated.
3 CEO’s in 3 years? 8 in 15? Could it be that being the head of an organisation who supports the bulk production of pets for money is a tough gig once you get a look behind the scenes?
Certainly seems they’ve found a good match in Dr Jo, with her background in intensive chicken farming and meat. Stay tuned for more of the same I’d say.
In other news, the fantastic new Lead the Way campaign was launched this week; a website collecting meaningful support to ban the sale of pets in store in NSW. Check it out.
