I popped over to Bluesky and found a load of animal welfare people I haven’t heard from on here for a while. I think I might stay there - it seems nicer 😁

Join us for the annual All-Ireland animal welfare science meeting! Present, discuss, and tour AFBI facilities. Request to join our mailing list and submit abstracts by 21 April to: AIAWSF@afbini.gov.uk #AnimalWelfare

We are super excited to be starting these two new courses in September!! 🤩 👇

Starting in 2025 we will be offering two pioneering undergraduate degrees in Veterinary Nursing & Advancing Animal Healthcare. @DAERA_NI Minister @AndrewMuirNI welcomed the new degrees as a significant step forward for the sector. ulster.ac.uk/study #WeAreUU
