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

 

Use of “Entertainment” Chimpanzees in Commercials Distorts Public Perception Regarding Their Conservation Status

 

Dog Movie Stars and Dog Breed Popularity: A Case Study in Media Influence on Choice
