Great discussion of animal welfare, although it mostly covers practices in Europe. The instructors stress, though, that the concept of animal welfare is global.

Really great and objective course.

Unfortunately the interactive sessions are made with Flash and therefore there is no way to use them with modern browsers.

Great opportunity to learn and even if used as a "refresher" for things you may have previously learnt, it is well worth the time to do
