Train, don't restrain! @SydanheimoAnna's poster at #isae2023 shows that giving dogs a choice to opt out during nail-clipping is better for their welfare. My cats agree, not just for routine handling procedures but also for medical procedures at the vets'. @appliedethology

Species are relying on zoo breeding programmes. We must see an end to the red tape swamp that is preventing conservation going ahead. #Brexit
