Andrew Knight, Professor of Animal Welfare and Ethics/Director at University of Winchester, introduces the university's new Centre for Animal Welfare. This talk was presented at University of Winchester's Hunting Symposium in 2015.
The centre for Animal Welfare provides a collaborative hub for academics and academic organisations interested in animal welfare issues. In addition to traditional research and knowledge dissemination through academic publications, presentations and educational programmes, the centre also seeks to engage with wider society, including through a seminar series on important or interesting animal welfare issues. Through such engagement we aim to increase knowledge and understanding about animal welfare and animal use practices within society at large.
