AWF discussion forum available to watch
Recordings of the Animal Welfare Foundation's (AWF's) discussion forum, covering welfare and ethics, are now available to watch online.
AWF is a charity formed to improve animal welfare through veterinary science, education and debate.
Currently celebrating its 30th anniversary, the charity held its annual discussion forum in London on May 13, with a focus on ethics and animal welfare.
New topics to be discussed in May were animal and human abuse - and how vets can seize the "golden opportunity" to help - and laboratory animals and the work of the Named Veterinary Surgeon.
Discussions also covered who should take responsibility for an animal when its owner no longer can, and the question "Where next for food assurance schemes?"
AWF chairman, Tiffany Hemming, said: "Participants have given us the best feedback we’ve ever had including how much they value what AWF has done to take animal welfare issues forward.
"We hope that many vets watch the videos and also visit us online to see our other resources or to donate so that we can continue to have an impact on animal welfare."
Recordings of all sessions can be found on the AWF Youtube channel.

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
