Huge thanks to my capable collaborators, Ana and Nancy, for joining me on this paper. Itโ€™s time for canine science to move beyond its flawed reliance on cortisol as a welfare indicator - we explore why and what that might look like. Out today, open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Great opportunity to become involved in some great research from the University of Lincoln to understand stress in dogs during the firework season.

It involves taking a video of your dog and sending in a saliva sample.

The @ec.europa.eu has failed to include the animal welfare proposals and cage ban in its Work Programme.

It must stick to its commitment to deliver proposals to ban cages & improve animal welfare in 2026 - for animals, citizens & food producers.

We must #EndTheCageAge!

Millions of animals remain in cages โ€” only ambitious rules can set them free.

Great article by @zazietodd.bsky.social highlighting the increase in guinea pigs going into care in the UK seen by @rspcaoffficial.bsky.social, for Guinea Pig Awareness Week. #education plays a key part in improving the welfare of domesticated animals, starting from primary school.

Refuse to accept #litter as the norm, itโ€™s NOT!

Donโ€™t walk by, donโ€™t accept it. Pick it up when you see it. Lead & others will follow. We are a powerful force. Litter is a danger to animals, our community & the #environment

Did you know that two-thirds of Gen Zs and Millennials are anxious about climate change and over half research a companyโ€™s environmental impact before taking a job? In today's blog we go into why sustainability is a non-negotiable in securing great talent๐Ÿ‘‡
