Good morning BERGers Sarah Weir and Ellie Berry will lead on the topic of the wider effects on animal populations, both wild and domestic, as a result of being featured in TV, movies and commercials. They will run through a few examples for the first 10 min and then lead a discussion. For the very keen - some reading on the examples they will discuss (though they will cover these in the intro): Animal law attorney discusses Netflix's 'Tiger King,' legal issues related to wildlife trafficking<https://www.abajournal.com/web/article/animal-law-attorney-talks-tiger-king> Use of “Entertainment” Chimpanzees in Commercials Distorts Public Perception Regarding Their Conservation Status<https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0026048> Dog Movie Stars and Dog Breed Popularity: A Case Study in Media Influence on Choice<https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0106565> The link for the Zoom BERG meeting on Wednesday 3rd June @ 17.30 (BST) is: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85235213041?pwd=SDFmWHhqZzBvbmVJNzgvb2Ivbnk2UT09<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85235213041?pwd%3DSDFmWHhqZzBvbmVJNzgvb2Ivbnk2UT09&sa=D&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1E4fEFqS7Op3o4kPNijF-h> Meeting ID: 852 3521 3041 Password: 882965 The final BERG meeting (10 June) before the summer break will be by Zsuzsa Lugosi - topic forthcoming!
