AwardsIn 2012 the HSI awarded Marcelle Meredith, Executive Director of the National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - South Africa (NSPCA), with the Award for Extraordinary Commitment and Achievement. The award is to recognize an individual animal protectionist (particularly those from developing countries) whose hard work and compassion have led him or her to exceptional levels of bravery and self-sacrifice in striving to mitigate and prevent the suffering of animals from neglect, cruelty and exploitation. In the past 25 years, Marcelle Meredith has achieved countless advancements in the protection of farm, wild and companion animals in South Africa and surrounding countries, creating model examples and laws for others to follow.[1] {{clear}}References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.hsi.org/news/news/2012/06/expo_2012_060312.html|title=Animal Care Expo 2012|publisher=Humane Society International|website=www.hsi.org|date=2012-06-03|accessdate=2017-11-03}} External links
