Dog owners, please help us learn more about chasing behaviour in dogs (we need a control group of non-chasers too, so don't think it doesn't apply to you):

In other news, I have a hot ticket to hear and see @SteveEarle #TheMavericks - later today @calgarystampede and I will be there #BootsOn

Taking a breather, and reflecting on the #GoodSamaritan parable - thanks to @HillhurstUnited as part of a concerted effort for #ecumenical outreach.

Do we have to imagine that the destitute amongst us include @SteveEarle or #JustinTownesEarle to care enough to care for one another?, I have asked @Gail_MacKean @GRCurrie @AnnMToohey - and now I ask YOU, via @Twitter

@seedevonwrite @TanyaTalaga Such an important podcast. I 'knew about' these problems, but now I understand what happened (and didn't happen) far better than at the outset. Consider tweeting a link to the podcast? That might help some.

@BritishAcademy_ Dr #LisaMoses speaking now, as a #Veterinarian and now in #Bioethics @Harvard - so far I haven't heard Dr Moses say #MoralDistress yet the conference program highlights that she brings this concern and expertise to the conversation @BritishAcademy_

[Dr Melanie Rock @Rock_M]

And just now, Dr #LisaMoses said #MoralDistress and now speaking about #Morality and the #Imaginary as important -- #Veterinarians like all of us cannot avoid #Symbolic thinking and sometimes we do not recognize symbolism as knowledge, inseparable from facts @BritishAcademy_

[Dr Melanie Rock @Rock_M]

@MarcBekoff Yes, #JaneDesmond + people's pets eat other animals, especially the bits that many find revolting. #Pets are part of the #Animal #FoodChain, not separate from #FarmedAnimals, in their very bodies and lives. https://t.co/Iq8WFBPVVV @ggblue1
