The Truth about Cats and Dogs – ‘Street Dog’ and our
MOOC!
Last week, week three of our Massive
Open Online Course (MOOC) on Animal Behaviour and Welfare discussed some of the
welfare challenges that our companion animals face, and what we can do to
improve their quality of life.
Those who are currently enrolled in
the programme have added a further 20,000 + students to the 34,000 that took
part in the MOOC last summer, thus creating a huge online community spanning
160 countries to learn about and discuss animal welfare. If you want to join,
it’s not too late – sign up here!
In ‘The
Truth about Cats and Dogs’, JMICAWE’s Hayley talked us through how we can
better understand the physical and emotional needs of our cats and dogs and how
these are influenced by the way we choose to care for them. The course also
looked at the increase in issues with stray, abandoned and cruelly treated
animals, and how the way we manage these issues can affect not only the welfare
of the individual animal but its relationship with human society.
In the MOOC this week we will be discussing production animal
welfare- entitled ‘Down on the Farm’, with Fritha. We hope to see you there, and
as always please feel free to get in touch on social media whilst you’re taking
part in the course on-
