Animal Behaviour and Welfare

Animal welfare issues in this course are not presented as cruelty, as they truly are, but it is very informative and science-based, which is important.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in a brief, general introduction to animal behaviour and welfare (do keep in mind that it is not an animal ethics course, but the information provided can help you question or strengthen ethical positions).

I'm now able to implement some of what was learned about animal behaviour and welfare in my daily professional activities as well as in the classroom.

A good way to get your feet wet on the topic of animal behaviour and welfare!

With so much information and facts given, one can develop their very own opinion on this Animal Welfare.I find it very important to cover Animal Welfare for anyone, who works with any kind of animals.Alongside this course I studied Dognition and Basic Horse Management.

I have learned so much and wish to use this knowledge to improve the welfare of animals.

I have learned so much about animal welfare issues that I'm better able to articulate my own thoughts and perspectives on it.

I'm interested in learning more and advocating for animals in any way I can while still trying not to anthropomorphize them so much (as humans are wont to do).

Learned so much!

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Five weeks in and this is one of the best courses going, This is a course every potential animal carer should take before considering 'cute' and 'expensive' just because they come with a certificate of pedigree with names one can't pronounce of prize winning ancestry.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone interrested!

Still, it's highly recommended!

The lecturers are excellent, they explain in a wonderful and uncomplicated way, the videos have provided useful information about the course in an easy way, as if you were really with them at the locations.I highly recommend it.

It made me want to study more on the subject of animal welfare and behavior.I think this course would be beneficial for everyone today, regardless of if they have animals in their life or not, as it gives a very solid perspective, demystification, and understanding of what a good animal welfare means, how to assess it and how to objectively view the problematic of animal welfare in different areas, such as pets, farm/production animals, wild animals in captivity, etc.I highly recommend this course!

It was a great course, good material, and it is great for begginers and advanced, since I'm more into wild animals, zoos, training and all, I just feel like it was only focusing on farm animals and just a short module on wild animals in captivity.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a career with animals :) Loved this course The course was very concise and accessible.

Anyone interested in animals in general should check this out!

Yet they are engaging and will be extremely interesting for anyone interested in these matters.

I strongly recommend anyone interested in animal welfare and behaviour spend some time taking this course!

Fantastic course, well presented.

Very well presented and thought out taking the learner gradually through a huge array of welfare and behavioural issues.

This is a balanced, interesting, and above all else scientific course about animal welfare that shed light on our relations with the animals under our keep - pets, farm animals, or even zoo animals.

I know this has nothing to do with the course but the authors of the course allowed him to speak so I am insuring that other voices are heard and that increasing farm animals is not the answer to world hunger.As I am a vegan vegetarian watching the section on Farm Animals was a bit traumatic but I felt necessary to get a better perspective on factory farming.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning more on the subject of domesticated animals and am hoping to further my knowledge in farm animals as well.
