Animal ethics - Research Tuesdays May 2024

Does acknowledging the emotional complexity of other living beings change our responsibilities toward them? University of Adelaide’s researchers are investigating exactly what it means to acknowledge animal sentience at home, in zoos, and in livestock farming. They’re assessing the best ways to measure animal emotions, the practical challenges that arise in doing so, and the complex policy implications. Join Associate Professor Susan Hazel and Associate Professor Alexandra Whittaker in exploring what it means to truly recognise our fellow animals’ feelings.
