The University of Queensland is currently conducting
online research on this topic. You can complete the survey and contribute to
knowledge in this field – and there is room for you to express your views on
the topic.
It takes up to 20 minutes to complete, and you need to be
over 18. Responses are confidential. Once the study is completed, a summary of
the findings will be available on the UQ School of Veterinary Science website.

How’s your “dogmanship”? Elissa Payne is conducting a PhD
on dog interaction styles, to try to determine what makes a good “dog person”.
Part of this research involves a survey. It takes around 30 minutes, so you
might want to put the kettle on first, but this questionnaire explores how we
interpret dog behaviour and emotions. Participation is anonymous and voluntary.
You can find out more about the study here.
On October 9, RSPCA QLD is holding its World Farm Animal
Day Symposium. This Symposium will be focused on examining how welfare in
animal production has improved or changed over the years, and what still needs
to be achieved.
You can find out more, including the program, here.
