Today we’d like to share some fantastic opportunities for
veterinarians and non-veterinarians to extend their knowledge about animal
welfare and behaviour. We can always learn more!
If you’re heading to the UK later this year, or you’re
able to do so, you can undertake a range of face to face courses on Animal
Welfare Science, Ethics and Law at St Catharine’s College Cambridge, between
September 10 and 22.
The courses include
- Welfare concepts and assessment, and zoo animal welfare (Sept 10-12)
- Law and companion animal and horse welfare (13-16 Sept)
- Principles of ethics in relation to animal use (18-20 Sept)
- Farm animal welfare (21-22 Sept).

Who
should attend? This
program is intended for dog trainers, pet industry professionals, local and
state government bodies and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the
latest research into dog behaviour, training and the importance to society of
the human-animal bond.
Finally,
if you’re interested in the topic of animal ethics, I’ve been working on a
project for several years with Dr Siobhan Mullan and a team of incredible
contributors. This has resulted in a textbook of veterinary ethics which you
can now pre-order here.
