Dear Bergers,
I'm delighted to announce that this week's Berg seminar will be by Carri
Westgarth, from the University of Liverpool. The seminar will be online at 4pm on
Wednesday Feb 8th at this link. Below is her abstract and the list of other upcoming
talks:
You see a dog - you read their story - you fall in love” Importing rescue dogs from
overseas
In this presentation Carri will present her research studies on the importation of
overseas rescue dogs. Despite this being both a very popular and contentious practice
there was virtually no research evidence in this area until very recently. Findings will
be presented regarding both positive and negative welfare implications for both the dogs
and the owners. Finally, challenges and implications for practice and policy in this area
are discussed.
