🔍 NEW STUDY found #horsewelfare improves when housing allows natural behaviours, especially social interaction. However, restricted housing can cause health and welfare issues. Researchers call for long-term studies, standardised methods & solutions for space-limited settings. 🔗 ow.ly/sSAJ50UXAuf

Relieved to see that this list includes "Animals" from #mdpi - a long-term thorn in the side of #ResearchIntegrity, with numerous examples of serious #AnimalWelfare and #AnimalEthics violations. Some examples can be found on pubpeer. Please THINK before you CITE anything from #mdpi! 👇

I’ve driven colleagues mad with an obstinate refusal to even entertain the idea of publishing with MDPI, going so far as threatening to pull my name from ready-to-submit articles. Some colleagues still joke about publishing in IJERPH just to rile me up. Am I glad I stuck to my guns!
