PETPOSITIVE'S Special Adviser Lynda Merican (Pix two) and Society President Anthony Thanasayan (Pix three) got interviewed on TraxxFM recently about the first animal-assisted therapy activity in the country.
Petpositive's Adviser Captain Abdul Karim Stuart Russell (In cowboy hat, pix one) heard the entire 45-minute interview live on national radio.
He was apparently quite impressed with the radio show. His only complaint, he later told PET+BLOGSPOT was the lousy reception condition he always gets of TraxxFM in Seremban where he resides with his family.
Here now is his review of the programme which he submitted to this blog:
Traxx101 fm Petpositive Live Interview Review
by Captain AKS Russell
Listeners to TraxxFM on Thursday 15 November 2007 from 11:15am to 12:00 noon were treated to an enjoyable, informative and well-articulated interview conducted by Traxx 101 host ‘Jezza’ (With sexy sunglasses and jacket, pix four) who is, in my opinion, a radio personality of international standard.
Jezza had, as is always the case, done his homework and was able to conduct the interview in a lively way which was entertaining, jovial and informative. I also must add that having being involved in an interview with him in the past; Jezza has the innate ability and charm to put even his most nervous guests at ease.
The interviewees were Petpositive member Lynda Merican and Petpositive Chairman Anthony Thanasayan, each spoke eloquently and knowledgeably about the Petpositive organised half day outing to the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) in Kepong, Selangor, as well as gave a wealth of information about Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) in general.
Lynda was the organiser of the event, which was a resounding success, and Anthony, amongst other things, arranged for the participation of persons with various disabilities who ranged from teenagers to octogenarians.
Lynda and Anthony explained the rationale behind the outing and the benefits which all the participants, including the able-bodied volunteers which included some pupils from Sekolah Sri Garden in Kuala Lumpur, had gained from the morning event in the beautiful natural surroundings at FRIM.
The animals that were fortunate to be chosen to attend had a fantastic time too; these were dogs, rabbits, a cat and some wild frogs. The latter had been collected overnight in the forests at FRIM by a team which included Lynda. The frogs were well taken care of and were released back in to nature after the event concluded.
On behalf of Petpositive, we are most grateful to TraxxFM and especially to Jezza, for giving Petpositive the opportunity to inform their listeners about our recent excursion to FRIM.
