Hartnell College Animal Health Technology Program
The budget crises in California have had many ramifications for the people and pets of Monterey County. One that directly impacts the SPCA is the possible discontinuance of the Animal Health Technology (AHT) Program at Hartnell College. All veterinary practices in the community as well as the SPCA's Gwen May Spay/Neuter Clinic require Hartnell's skilled Registered Veterinary Technician graduates to continue delivering quality medical care for the animals. To assist during this time of uncertainty the SPCA opened its doors as a temporary home for the AHT program during the Spring 2004 semester while its current site is torn down and the future of the program is debated. AHT classes will be conducted in the SPCA Spay/Neuter Clinic & the George Whitell Education Center, with scheduling that ensures no decrease in SPCA programs or services. The SPCA is hopeful that this beginning collaboration will mature into a long-term, mutually beneficial, cost-effective program that provides great benefit to the residents and animals of our community.

“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Since the last one in a graveyard is believed to be the next one fated to die, funerals often end in a mad scramble.”
