How did the Conference on homeless animals go, what was discussed and what was resolved?

I think there was an overwhelming feeling of marginalization. People realised how fragmented, disorganised and isolated we are within the movement both from within the country and also on an international level. We feel (and still feel) that we are kind of left out of the animal rights international movement.
