Striking at the ROOTS
![Page 2: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
“There are a thousand hacking at the
branches of evil to one who is striking at the
root”
Henry David Thoreau
![Page 3: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Undesirable Effects we experience are just Symptoms
![Page 4: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We must understand the Core Problems that lead to the
Symptoms
![Page 5: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We must determine the Root Causes of those Core Problems
![Page 6: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If we wish to find Sustainable Solutions, we must address the
Root Causes.

Most of our Efforts are directed at Fixing Symptoms
![Page 8: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Path of Least Resistance
• Immediate Need: Emotional Gratification from Visible and Tangible results
• Narrow Focus• Short-Term Goals
![Page 9: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Fire-fighting”, actions focused on symptoms, are short-term tactics, and do not address underlying,
chronic causes
![Page 10: Striking at the ROOTS. “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root” Henry David Thoreau.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b417f8b9ab0599a14cd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Symptoms: Fires we’re Fighting
• Rescuing and Homing animals already in the system addresses the symptom of the growing population of unwanted animals
• Rehabilitating animals who have been neglected or abused addresses the symptoms of ignorance and insensitivity
• Holding Mass Sterilisations addresses the symptom of the growing population of unwanted animals
• Euthanizing animals in Shelters addresses the symptom of inadequate resources and growing population of unwanted animals
• Convicting people of animal-related crimes addresses the symptom of lawlessness
…but the underlying causes are not addressed!

Let’s examine the Root Causes of the Core Problems we have…

Understanding Active and Passive Cause
• Active Causes are Actions taken that have an observable effect
• Passive Causes are Conditions that exist that enable or allow the Action to be taken

Strategies impacting Root Causes
• Breeding Regulations • Education (in Schools,
Institutions)• Better Legislation• Specialised Inspectors /
Policing
…the long-term fixes are NOT within the scope of the individual organisation…

…giving rise to the need for a COLLECTIVE that can supply skills and resources and speak
with ONE VOICE.
