🔍 Over a trillion wild finfish are slaughtered each year, typically without stunning. This study critically maps global evidence on the issue, revealing major gaps in #fishwelfare research & urgent need for species-specific practices in wild fisheries.

New paper alert 🚨

We built an apparatus where one goat had to jump on a platform so another could eat. The big question: Do goats lend a helping hoof? 🐐🍏

An emerging field shows how animal feelings can be studied scientifically

Interview mit Dr. Barbara Fiala-Köck, der Leiterin der Qualzucht-Kommission. #qualzucht #tierethik

Leiterin der Qualzucht-Kommission: "Absolut unethisch, Tiere nach Schönheitsidealen zu züchten"
Barbara Fiala-Köck schließt nicht aus, dass bestimmte Hunderassen in Österreich bald verboten sein könnten. Die neue Qualzucht-Kommission soll die Basis für weitere politische Maßnahmen legen

The image shows a YouTube channel page for the Animal Welfare Science Centre (AWSC) affiliated with the University of Melbourne. At the top is a distinctive banner featuring the University of Melbourne's dark blue logo on the left, followed by an orange background with white line drawings of various animals in profile, including a horse, giraffe, lion, sheep, and other animals arranged in a horizontal line. The channel's profile section displays the AWSC logo. Below this is a brief description stating their mission to contribute to improved animal welfare as a world-leading provider of expert information (the description is truncated). The "Videos" section shows four video thumbnails arranged in a grid, all appearing to be from a research showcase series.
