Workshop: Animal Welfare and Ethics
Theme: Animals in Society
How does animal ethics play a role in today’s society? What is considered when using animals in farms, labs, for breeding, or even in the wild? This Workshop will cover the different roles animals occupy and the welfare concerns surrounding them.
Our interaction with animals encompasses a wide range of interdependent relationships including companion animals, working animals, farm animals, laboratory animals, and wildlife. In this series we shed a glimpse on animal protection, the wellbeing of animals, effects of human activities on wildlife as well as the complex animal production industry.
