@Bojerlanski D. Paper einer Freundin über Tierwohl bei Euthanasie v. Laborratten wurde vor 2 J. von einem reviewer abgelehnt w. "Ratten keinen Schmerz empfinden"🤔 Für Menschen die sich um Tiere kümmern finde ich Forschung die zeigt wie Tiere ihre Gefühle (zB Schmerz) ausdrücken bes hilfreich

I recently worked with AnimalKind at @BC_SPCA on new cat-specific resources for pet service businesses. Check out the link for all the resources and the new standards (which I also helped review) to support humane pet service operators! 🐱 #CatsOfTwitter

@Helen_Gray_ Same! And now I'm curious about "Back"!

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.

It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

@ubcAWP researchers developed an open-source behaviour real-time spatial tracking identification system for animals. BeRSTID allows accessible monitoring that correlates closely with human-coded behaviors in shelters https://t.co/vuuB6kxtBA @BaileyHopeEagan @beneagan @dr_prot

Happy #InternationalCatDay🐈! To celebrate, @BaileyHopeEagan @dr_prot and Dr Karen van Haaften created a free infographic showing a simple behaviour modification program for fearful cats with accompanying progress tracking forms. We hope you enjoy it! @ubcAWP #ubcAWPcompanion

. @BaileyHopeEagan investigated the effect of animal shelter sound on cat behaviour and welfare. Through her research, she found that there are various methods which can help reduce sound, and attempt to keep shelter noise under 60 decibels. Watch this video to learn more!

[UBC Animal Welfare @ubcAWP]

At the @ACVBbehavior #VBS2022, @baileyhopeeagan presented results from a study conducted with @drprot & Dr Karen van Haaften showing daily gabapentin predicts faster behaviour modification progress, lower cat stress & quicker emergence from hiding in fearful cats #ubcAWPcompanion

If you work or volunteer in a dog and/or cat shelter in Canada 🇨🇦, the USA 🇺🇸, or Mexico 🇲🇽, please consider completing our 20-minute survey (available in English, French, and Spanish) investigating the use of anxiety-reducing medications in animal shelters. Thank you! 🐱🐕

@drsassenach Thanks @drsassenach ! So fabulous to see how this is evolving!!

[Julia Lomb @ju_lomb]

YAY - fabulous to see our heifer training videos being shown at #ADSA2022 by the wonderful @jlheinsius. Also a huge shout-out to undergrad Joseph Lee who did a fantastic job with training heifers for the first time. This wouldn't have happened without him! @ubcAWP

[Julia Lomb @ju_lomb]

@michaelwbrunt @DarosRuan @ubcAWP one of the best places to be - hope you're enjoying your time there!

Do calves remember where the bottles containing milk are? A new test developed by @ubcAWP to assess cognitive capacities, and hence the welfare of dairy calves! Read the full article published in Animal Cognition @SpringerANCO: https://t.co/92y7GGYBvi
