Cow Tools! We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years. We breed them and exploit them It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS Here I describe our study (paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... in @currentbiology.bsky.social with @auersperga.bsky.social

Nogen bruger dyreforsøg af mangel på alternativer. Nogen gør, fordi det eksplicit kræves, før en vare må markedsføres. Og mange gør det måske mest af alt, fordi det plejer at være sådan, og man ikke har ressourcer til at udfordre en stærk tradition. Så dette er et spændende initiativ 👇🏻

Interesting research agenda, looking forwards to the results. UK educators can participate👇🏻

Selvom belastningen af dyrene blev ignoreret i regnestykket (da den ikke kunne estimeres i penge), er pelsproduktion en udgift. Også på EU niveau 😵‍💫 “The total contribution of fur farming, calculated by deducting environmental and public health costs from GVA, is -€446 million”

Just last month, Dr. Jane spoke to an engaged and inspired audience in Toronto – and these were her final words for the crowd. She knew that we could do so much good – that we can do so much good – when we work together as partners. Join us at JaneGoodall.ca.

📣 Are you interested in applied animal ethology and perceptual abilities of animals? Do you want to help us disentangle how animal emotions are modulated by their sensory environment? Then, you might be the postdoc we are looking for🌠 More info: www.slu.se/en/about-slu... #appliedethology #postcoc

A car with a dog inside was stolen, and for the owner, it was all about the dog. Of course. Cars are something but dogs are someone. 💕

#kaniner som co-terapeuter fås fx hos "Støttepoter". , der afholder workshop for vores studerende næste uge. Gennem det sidste 1½ år af deres psykologistudium udviklede de en kanin-støttet compassionfokuseret gruppeterapi. Nu har de flere tilbud, alle med øje på #IAHAIO principper for etisk praksis

#kaniner er ofte misforståede som et "nemt kæledyr til børnene". Det er de ikke, hvis de skal have det godt, men de er fantastiske familiemedlemmer og sågar co-terapeuter, hvis man sætter sig nok ind i deres behov. Der er hjælp at hente i Lili Chins skønne plakat og hos frikanin.dk .

»Vi tror, vi er et foregangsland, når det kommer til dyrevelfærd, men det er vi slet ikke. Gang på gang slækker politikerne på de krav, vi stiller til producenterne. Der er alt for mange fejl og alt for meget fup i de logbøger, der er kernen i vores danske kontrolsystem.« Svindel og dyrplageri. 🎁

Opfordring til systematisk fusk… det må være skuffende for dem, der har satset på at selvkontrol og frivillig forbedring løser udfordringerne i erhvervet. 😵‍💫Eller tog en masse kolleger straks afstand fra opfordringen?

I don’t think that martingale and bid with nose band are expressions of compassion

Linda Craddock gave a great workshop on the possible roles of a variety of species in psychotherapy and counseling - “a multispecies aporoach to multidimensional humans”. And she did mean multispecies. I loved the goats and the caterpillar 😍

Great to hear about #IAHAIO principles of human animal services, as used across the globe, e.g., papers from Chile, Nepal, and Ukraine, respectively, in this session.

Day 2 of the #IAHAIO conference kicking of with coffee and Karin Hediger’s keynote on research-practice collaboration in human animal interaction.

Great talks at the #IAHAIO conference

Right 👍 😆 And don’t kiss them for any other reasons either. 🤓

Weird. It's almost as if they never cared about #dogs and #cats at all, even though they argued for this by saying immigrants were eating them.

Wauw, great PhD position opportunity👇🏻

Ærgerligt ikke at være i Edinburgh... PHAIR's Animal Advocacy Conference starter i aften med en tale af Peter Singer og fortsætter med 3 dages dyrevelfærds-relevant psykologisk forskning. Program og forskningsresuméer er tilgængelige fra hjemmesiden: phair2025.co.uk

Sikkert fordi gode strategier = dem, der virker 😊. Der er sammenhæng mellem at tiltro dyr mental kapacitet og at synes, de har krav på velfærd. Klip fra et lille pip, vi selv gav for ti år siden, men større og bedre undersøgelser finder ca det samme.

"But only humans can..." Yet another of those entitlement-inducing assumptions may be gone? The scientific report is here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Sabrina Brando and I wrote an article 10 y ago about the lack of animal welfare friendly food in zoos. Recently, I was at Aalborg Zoo and was a bit disheartened by the lack of progress there. So, I wrote an opinion piece for the local paper (sorry, in Danish). www.researchgate.net/publication/...
