2012 Animal welfare & ethics
Tuesday 28 February 2012, National Convention Centre, Canberra
The 2012 Scientific Seminar explored the ethical perspectives of our use of and behaviour towards animals in a range of topical areas, including farm animals, animals in research, recreational and subsistence hunting, funding of animal welfare research, companion animal breeding, ethics in education, and humane killing. The Seminar provided an opportunity to get people thinking about the ethical dilemmas we face in our daily lives and the ethical decisions we make, sometimes without even realising it.
