Animal Welfare Act has even less teeth now. “It feels like your hands are tied behind your back. You can’t do many things you’re supposed to when it comes to protecting animals." washingtonpost.com/science/c…

Caged raccoons drooled in 100-degree heat. But federal enforcement has faded.

Amid Trump’s push to deregulate, changes at the USDA now emphasize treating animal businesses and labs as partners.

Daisy puts herself to bed like this at least three or four times a day, and I finally caught it good on camera. We never taught her (how could we?) She just does it because she loves being comfy #beagle #beagles
I just started tweeting and am stil finding my way and purpose. I mostly use it to retweet or like what I think is good work to promote high quality research and practice to the field of HAI to increase the respect it deserves.

Hey #ScienceTwitter friends! I’m writing a short guide for scientists who want to join Twitter. While the “how” is important, I think the “why” is even more so and I’d love to include some quotes from you! In what ways do you benefit from being active on Twitter?

So sad but so good to put these images out there! If you can’t stop eating poultry, restricting purchase to humane producers only may make a huge difference.

The Bill banning wild animals in circuses has received royal assent & will now become law. We called for this ban in our animal welfare blueprint document presented to No10 in January 2017 with our Paton @SirRogerGaleMP

Banning wild animals in circuses

The Wild Animals in Circuses Bill means that circus operators in England will no longer be able to use wild animals as part of a travelling circus.

“If they [farmers] make the same money....in a higher welfare system, then it’s a win all around. Better for the animals, for the workers...the environment” and better for those who want to eat animal products produced without suffering #onewelfare theguardian.com/environment/…

The true cost of eating meat: if we want change, we have to pay for it

Australians can afford to spend more on food that meets higher animal welfare standards. It’s time to demand change from farmers

In India, an estimated 20,000 people are year still die from rabies. It is a human health problem with an animal solution: Vaccinate dogs. nyti.ms/32NLCRg

Rabies Kills Tens of Thousands Yearly. Vaccinating Dogs Could Stop It. (Published 2019)

Sometimes the interests of humans and animals are the same, but humans have to save the animals first.

What a fabulous article. This raises interesting questions as it reassesses what everyone thinks we already know... kudos for researchers who keep asking and answering hard questions!

Should we really get all our dogs desexed? Research by Ben and Lynette Hart suggests maybe not. theatlantic.com/science/arch… @lyahart

The Quietly Changing Consensus on Neutering Dogs

A growing body of research has documented the health risks of getting certain breeds fixed early—so why aren’t shelters changing their policies?
