#Fishwelfare researchers, does anyone know places (ideally in the UK) to buy behavioural assay equipment such as the typical 1.5L trapezoid tanks used for the novel tank diving test? #animalbehaviour #animalwelfare #zebrafish

It’s disappointing to still hear people glorifying Jeremy Clarkson in farming. Let’s try and move on. He isn’t what our sector needs or a reputation we want in our agricultural sector.

This dog is not comfortable at all. I worry this is normalising having extremely fearful dogs in our homes and perpetuating the idea that these dogs need to be 'saved'. Is a human home a better life for these dogs?

This is quite possibly one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen from a veterinary professional. Please support @PawsVetMed and speak up for active allyship m.facebook.com/story.php?stor… #BVEDS #diversityequityinclusion #equitydiversityincludion #EDI #vetmed

New Research: Are Brachycephalic Dogs Really Cute? Evidence from Online Descriptions #Anthrozoology #Dogs #Brachycephalic Dr Rowena Packer @Bristol_Vets @VikkiNeville tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Here a plea to the professions and to conference organisers, please please help us deliver EDI training our peers. I am so very tired of begging you all for money, which barely covers the costs of delivering the training with a super team of facilitators.

We definitely need more evidence around this topic. So glad this is being researched.
