Researchers from NYU’s Center for Environmental and Animal Protection and Harvard Law’s Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program have produced a report on the zoonotic risk caused by 36 major American animal industries, from factory farming to the trade in exotic companion animals. Zoonosis are diseases that can be passed from non-human animals to humans, and the other way around. 👀 The authors of the study concluded the following: “We’re surprised by what we’ve found, as much by the sheer scale and diversity of animal use in the U.S. as by the disconnected patchwork of federal, state, and municipal laws governing animal industries. Some are underregulated and others are totally unregulated.” 😬 #exoticpets #animals #animalrights #pets #vegan

No comprehensive assessment of the populations of big cats in federally regulated facilities in the United States is currently available. Concerns about big cat use are increasingly of strong public interest and the lack of data about their number and distribution has ramifications impacting zoological industry function, conservation programs, rescue work, and legislation. In this work a dataset has been compiled using publicly available USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) records and direct information requests. The resulting census was derived from the animal inventories listed on inspection records for all 2272 facilities with animal exhibition licenses. The total number of big cats in federally regulated facilities is on the order of 4100 animals and appears to be declining. https://lnkd.in/eCgauKpA

Associate Professor | Wildlife/Zoo/Exotics Veterinarian and Consultant | Animal Welfare Advisor | Author
There is widespread agreement that effective evaluation of the quality of life of zoo animals (and other animals, and people for that matter) is important. There is less clarity on exactly how to do that. How do you define quality of life? Can it be assessed with any level of precision? In a zoo animal? Regardless of species? And why would you attempt to do so? 🦁🐼🦉🐢🐬🦘🦇🐍 Over the last year I have been actively exploring this topic, culminating in this paper which was published yesterday. An overview of current thinking and the applications and limitations of quality-of-life evaluation of captive wild animals is offered to promote and aid facility practice reviews and to help direct future innovations that leverage concurrent and converging advances in zoo animal welfare science. I’m delighted that it is appearing alongside a plethora of excellent and thought-provoking articles in the Special Edition of Animals journal ‘Zoo and Aquarium Welfare, Ethics, Behavior’: https://lnkd.in/g7KZdU7Y #qualityoflife #assessment #zooanimal #animalwelfare #decisionmaking https://lnkd.in/gnTjrQPR
