SPANA, the
Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad is a voluntary organisation
and registered charity founded in Britain in l923. There are ten
centres or refuges where animals are treated or hospitalised and ten
mobile clinics going out from these centres to souks (markets) all round
the country. Large numbers of working equines can be given basic veterinary
care - worming, hoof treatment, wound treatment and dentistry - particularly
rasping of teeth.
An agreement with the Veterinary School in Rabat means that all veterinary
students must complete two weeks field experience with a mobile clinic,
learning basic handling and diagnostic skills. They also have an opportunity
to learn surgical techniques, under qualified veterinary surgeons in
the free dog and cat spaying programmes.
An education programme is aimed, not only at vets and current animal
owners, but at the next generation of Moroccan citizens, by fundamentally
changing their attitudes. Interactive exhibitions are being set up in
several of the bigger centres, and the National Environmental Education
Centre, situated by the lake of Sidi Bou Ghaba has received over 45,000
students so far.
