From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 2006:
Oxford University theologian Andrew Linzey on November 28,
2006 announced the formation of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics,
home page <www.oxfordanimalethics.com>, which Linzey described as
“the world’s first academy dedicated to enhancing the ethical status
of animals through academic publication, teaching, and research.”
Nobel Literature Laureate J.M. Coetzee of South Africa was named
first Honorary Fellow of the institution. Author Jeffrey Masson was
named an Honorary Research Associate. Priscilla Cohn, author of
Contraception in Wildlife, Book I (1996), was named associate
director of the organization.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 2006:
The International Fund for Animal Welfare on October 25,
2006 began building new offices in Yarmouth-port, Massachusetts. A
1.5-acre open space in the center of the complex will be named after
Juliana Kickert, of Sedona, Arizona, who died at age 64 in March
2006, leaving IFAW $10 million. IFAW raised $17.3 million in the
most recently reported fiscal year, but by its own reckoning spent
just $11.5 million on programs, and by ANIMAL PEOPLE reckoning spent
$6.8 million on programs, less than went into fundraising and
reserves.
