Weingarten Center
during 1972, Dr. Ellett reported.
The founders believe there are
many reasons for joining T.A.
C.A., including a growing and
desperate need for an official
organization to benefit small
animals and their owners.
. Therefore, the committee de
veloped a state-wide membership
campaign, with all major metro
politan areas assigned to volun
teers for charter year enroll
ments.
Dr. Ellett said applications and
brochures that fully explain T.A.
C.A. should be available from
most pet stores, grooming par
lors, veterinary offices and local
Chamber of Commerce offices.
Potential Texas membership
in T.A.C.A. was estimated by
Dr. Ellett at nine million persons.
This means a one per cent mem
bership would bring a substantial
90,000 members, he pointed out.
Individuals presently in dog,
cat, kennel and exotic pet clubs
are encouraged to join T.A.C.A.,
plus individual n - wners with
out club affiliation
“If you have a pet, you belong
in T.A.C.A.,” is ( .he organiza
tion’s membership drive theme.
One particular interest of the
organization is small animal dis
ease research. The state at pres
ent does not directly support
small animal research and money
from other sources is very lim
ited, Dr. Ellett noted. T.A.C.A.
members will devote substantial
effort to alleviating this inequity,
he added.
The T.A.C.A,. president said
activities will Include educational
programs for young people in
prudent selection and care of
pets, owner-breeder assistance m
current trends of health prac
tices and o dedicated effort, to
alert the public to animal abuse.
T.A.C.A. membership benefits
include a monthly newsletter to
each member, an annual sym
posium featuring experts in
■BH
small
privileges, eligibility to hold
office and an information service
if funds permit.
T.A.C.A. is not responsible to
any other animal or professional
group. Organizers hope to aug
ment other programs In the state,
Dr. Ellett said.
Membership drives are ex
pected to begin in late June in
the large urban areas.
