Cover girl Veronika is making headlines across the globe🐂 (animal cleverness trumps human stupidity) Notably, she is a 'companion cow' not used for meat or dairy. Maybe if we saw other creatures less as a means to an end, we could appreciate their richness better... www.cell.com/current-biol...

AI progress is exciting but should not forget about animals! In our recent Nature correspondence we argue that it is necessary and urgent to include ethical principles regarding animals in AI alignment to avoid large scale intended or unintended harms. Check it out: rdcu.be/eDyWj #AnimalWelfare #AI

New paper alert 🚨 We built an apparatus where one goat had to jump on a platform so another could eat. The big question: Do goats lend a helping hoof? 🐐🍏 Find out in our new paper on prosocial motivations in dwarf goats: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

@jeffsebo.bsky.social @birchlse.bsky.social and I put a lot of philosophy into our new Science Perspective on animal consciousness. Mill's analogical argument + inference to the best explanation + careful experiments = justification for consciousness in many animals. Where might it end?

Leiterin der Qualzucht-Kommission: "Absolut unethisch, Tiere nach Schönheitsidealen zu züchten"
Barbara Fiala-Köck schließt nicht aus, dass bestimmte Hunderassen in Österreich bald verboten sein könnten. Die neue Qualzucht-Kommission soll die Basis für weitere politische Maßnahmen legen

The image shows a YouTube channel page for the Animal Welfare Science Centre (AWSC) affiliated with the University of Melbourne. At the top is a distinctive banner featuring the University of Melbourne's dark blue logo on the left, followed by an orange background with white line drawings of various animals in profile, including a horse, giraffe, lion, sheep, and other animals arranged in a horizontal line.
The channel's profile section displays the AWSC logo. Below this is a brief description stating their mission to contribute to improved animal welfare as a world-leading provider of expert information (the description is truncated).
The "Videos" section shows four video thumbnails arranged in a grid, all appearing to be from a research showcase series.
