The NY Declaration on Animal Consciousness noted that we need more animal consciousness research, and this article rightly notes that this research should prioritize animal well-being. An important continuation of the conversation - thanks to the authors!

Good luck to the @humaneleagueuk today in its case against "Frankenchickens" at the Court of Appeal. As you can see from the Court's website, the legal issues are incredibly intricate and complex.

“In other disciplines we accept scientist activists. We accept climate scientists who are activists. We accept physicians who advocate for their patients... But w/i the animal research community, that is somehow considered anathema." - Dr.@macaqtivist

In this clip, @seanmcarroll asks me whether I think my book is useful, and I say:

I'm helping the BBC with a new landmark series on terrestrial invertebrates. If there are any fascinating stories you know of or that you're working on, please get in touch. Pls RT.

Possibly the most significant achievement is that manifestly healthy vegetarians and vegans are everywhere. This means the industry cannot argue that meat is necessary for human health.
Americans view the animal rights movement as the 7th most successful of 40 US social movements.
Animal advocates mostly focus on our failures. But I think the public is right we've achieved a lot:
1. Criminalizing animal abuse in all 50 states.
2. Getting top US food companies to pledge to improve the welfare of billions of farmed animals.
3. Significantly reducing demand for veal, foie gras, animal circuses, and SeaWorld. And much more ...
There are still huge cruelties to end, especially on factory farms. But I'm grateful for the many advocates who have already achieved so much.

Looking forward to teaching 5 weeks on animal ethics this term. There'll be no retreading of the old "rights vs. welfare" divisions - instead a focus on what I see as the most promising future directions. 🐟🐝🐕🐙

A UK judicial review will assess whether planners can legitimately ignore fish welfare when approving fish farms - good to see a spotlight on this issue. 🐟 theguardian.com/business/202…

Should vegans eat mussels and oysters? Interesting article on the thinking behind bivalves and pain #AnimalWelfare

I wrote an opinion piece about the labelling of animal products and why we need to be more open about what the UK's animal welfare standards permit

This was indeed one of our findings, but one that I challenge the respondents on! More interesting results on how welfare scientists see their aims, priorities and problems coming (hopefully) soon

Our new paper on a potentially pain-linked behaviour in insects is out! Bees seemingly ‘rub it better’ like we do: (1/7)
There's an agro-economics problem here but also a reliance on a very minimal account of what it takes to treat someone humanely. Motivated reasoning always seems to be the thing that holds these types of arguments together

Save The Date-The second meeting of the Philosophy of Animal Minds and Behavior Association will be held at the University of Santa Barbara April 24-26 2025. Colin Allen is hosting talks and events including a tour of @CoalOilPoint Natural Reserve to observe plovers. Stay tuned!
A common narrative in animal welfare crowds is that a gentle carrot-led relationship with industry is the best/right/only means by which to improve welfare.
@AnimalRising's exposé on @rspcaassured farms puts pressure on this narrative. Perhaps it's time to reexamine our approach
Can confirm that it's amazing @DariaZakharova9

I guess I'm really writing a trade book for Norton on animal culture! Absolutely thrilled with this process and proud to be a part of the @wwnorton community--so many of my favorite thinkers have published with them.
