can anyone help remake our website? #webdesigners where you at?

[J Scott Weese @weese_scott]

Lots of problems with illegal exotic pet trade.

Welfare and infectious dzs get most of the attention but venomous reptiles pose other threats.

You can give a venomous animal a name (Winston, here) but that doesn't make them companions or safe.

Thanks to the contributions of @uLethbridge researchers, cephalopods have been protected in research in Canada since the early 1990s. (I also received my BSc from this fabulous institution) https://t.co/raAkZAYgev

Having an emergency preparedness kit prepared is very important, and can be given to a person who may be caring for your pet.

Good article that highlights different behaviours dogs engage in when they are feeling anxious or stressed. I've seen my dog do every one of these behaviours, but some are subtle! Being able to read your dog's body language is a key to meeting their needs.

Nature is amazing!

Animal-assisted yoga classes have increased in popularity – but their impact on animal welfare may be far from benign, writes @doubelieveindog (@unimelb).

So how we can all play a role in making animal welfare a higher priority? 🐐

It's berry season. Bear encounters are likely. Berry bushes border trails, roads and campgrounds. Black and grizzly bears are feeding on berries right now. Make lots of noise while on the trails!
If you see a bear, stay calm, back away slowly and leave the area. Never run.
