Animal welfare | Charmaine Tham | TEDxTheRocks

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Vaccination and desexing of animals such as dogs are a common practice and considered completely routine in Australia. However, in developing communities where access to basic resources, funding and Veterinarian training are limited, animal welfare can prove to be a challenge. Charmaine shares the mental and physical struggles of addressing these challenges.

Charmaine has been highly engaged with the veterinary community since her graduation from the University of Melbourne in 2004. Her qualifications include the Bachelor of Veterinary Science with first-class honours, Bachelor of Animal Science in pain pharmacology research, ANZCVS Membership in Veterinary Pharmacology and Bachelor of Business Studies in management.

Charmaine is President of Vets Beyond Borders (VBB). She is also on the Australia and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists’ Chapter of Veterinary Pharmacology, and is on the committee of the Australian Veterinary Association’s Australian Vets in Industry special interest group.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
