Students undertaking the Masters degree in International
Animal Welfare, Ethics and Law know that we have high hopes for them to publish
their work if possible. We had our first ever graduates last November and we
are pleased to report that less than six months later, we have the first full
publication from a dissertation.
The programme team offer our hearty
congratulations to IAWEL graduate Emma Desforges who has published her
dissertation on improving housing environments for cats involved in feeding studies. She used her
understanding of cat behaviour to develop an enrichment device from a set of
household shelves. This allowed group-housed cats the opportunity to use
vertical space, hide away from other cats and reduce agonistic behaviours.
