About Pat Derby and PAWS
- PAWScaster
- Galt, California, United States
- Pat Derby’s advocacy for animals developed more than 35 years ago when she began working with captive wildlife in movies and television commercials. While working on television series such as Gunsmoke, Lassie, Daktari, and Flipper, she witnessed the neglect and abuse prevalent in animal training. Determined to initiate better standards of care and handling for performing animals, Pat chronicled her adventures in a Book-of-the-Month Club autobiography, The Lady and Her Tiger. The first exposé of the treatment of performing animals, The Lady and Her Tiger won an American Library Association Award in 1976. Since 1984, The Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has been at the forefront of efforts to rescue and provide appropriate, humane sanctuary for animals who have been the victims of the exotic and performing animal trades. PAWS investigates reports of abused performing and exotic animals, documents cruelty and assists in investigations and prosecutions by regulatory agencies to alleviate the suffering of captive wildlife.
Maggie is looking soooo good, nicely rounded, wounds healed and sassy-looking to boot.
ReplyDeletePat with her red hair and in hot pink....spectacular!
PAWS definitely agrees with Ms. Maggie. I hope her dramatic improvement is being well documented.
ReplyDeleteTo the staff. You may not be making the big bucks, but isn't it nice to know you are doing something meaningful with your lives. You are making a difference in the lives of these beautiful creatures. A life well lived. Now go and pick up some poop.
After more than 8 months of living in a paradise for elephants,Maggie never looked better. See what some sunshine, companionship of other elephants and caring humans can do . . . she looks so good in those tall grasses.
