Heather Bacon and Hayley Walters from the JMICAWE have been
working with the Edinburgh University Student Zoological Society to spread the
word of the JMICAWE and its partners in improving animal welfare around the
world.
Last month Hayley presented on Animal Welfare issues in
China, highlighting the trade and farming of endangered wildlife, particularly
Asiatic black or ‘moon’ bears, caged for years to provide bile for use in
Traditional Medicine.
This week (6/11/2013) Heather will present on the range of
welfare issues faced by zoos around the world, highlighting the limitations
that zoo animals may face in terms of their welfare but also discussing
practical solutions that may be implemented to improve zoo animal welfare.
Presentations take place as part of the programme
organised by the Edinburgh Zoological Society on Wednesday Evenings at 7pm at
lecture theatre 270, Old College, University of Edinburgh.
More information on the EUSZS, which is a brand new society for all those students and non-students of Edinburgh with a passion for animals, can be found at http://www.zoosoc.com or email at edzoosoc@gmail.com.
