Our Discussion Forums offer veterinary & animal welfare professionals a platform to engage with, discuss and reflect on some of the most pressing and controversial animal welfare issues. Over the years we have covered important animal welfare topics such as: How can we influence human behaviour for better welfare?, Taking veterinary ethics to the next level, and the AWF Delphi Project.
