Is There Hope for Ending New Zealand's War on Possums?

These so-called "pests" may be spared if we understand the psychology behind killing them.
We also need to reframe education, redefine nature, and use the principles of compassionate conservation.

It’s not a 🐶’s life for our world-first doctorates in Human-Animal Studies.

While Dr Erin Jones' thesis investigated taking dog training from a dog’s point of view, fellow grad Emily Major explored compassionate conservation and possum advocacy in Aotearoa NZ🎓👏 @UCNZArts

@lauraejohnstone What the heck?! Ugh, I’m annoyed for you!!

[Emily Major @EforAnimals]

Fascinating how AI has taken notions about emblematic nonhuman animals as national villains. Especially Spain. This would be so interesting to explore further with a critical eye

[Crypto Tea @Cryptotea]

Someone asked AI to turn each country into a villain 👇🧵

@QRJCardiff Can you perhaps restrict access to the paper? It can't be doing much good for legitimate forms of scholarships to have this circulate even further...

So beyond chuffed that my superstar supervisors were guests on The Guilty Feminist podcast. So many feminists talk about intersectionality, but completely miss out on animals. Thank you @GuiltFemPod for discussing these issues - you won me over tonight!

Once again, @facebook sides against family farms. 😡😡

The more social media bends to radical, anti-animal meat folks, the harder it is to put food on our neighbors’ tables. Our workers will suffer & our will dogs suffer.

@samwhite_nz That makes no sense to me - I see references and it makes me trust the writing more. What the heck.

[Emily Major @EforAnimals]

For some reason, editing my thesis chapters works more effectively when I read the paragraphs out in a fancy British accent 🤡
