Drs. Jochem J. Lastdrager
Country: The Netherlands
Ocupation: Veterinarian
University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
President
As a child I was always looking after animals: small, large, domesticated and wild. Whether it was a cat or a butterfly, being a junior WWF ranger was about more than just membership, it was a commitment for life. In high school I was not the best student but I had already made up my mind; I had to go to university so that I could become a Vet!
During my final years I realized that helping animals should not be limited to a single vet practice. Rather than just treating pets belonging to responsible and committed owners, I wanted to extend that help to neglected and abandoned animals and to those whose owners simply cannot afford a vet, as well as helping wild animals suffering due to encroaching development. Animals who cannot speak for themselves but do need a voice.
Those animals, they are my mission!
