Café Scientifique - Animal Science: Keeping Animals Happy and Healthy

Animal health and welfare concerns are heavily influenced by what people think animals need. Many people think that animal welfare is synonymous with animal happiness, but how do we really know what our animals are feeling?

Join us for ideas, discussions and refreshments, as we hear from professionals working in animal behaviour, health and welfare, on current issues and how we can improve the lives of animals in our care.
