(Dr. Tom Harrison presenter/ Ayoka Bubar moderator) 

This webinar provides an introduction to ethics generally and specific considerations of the ways we need to consider our moral positioning and ethical compass when working with and enjoying our animal companions.  A history of animal welfare,  animals in courts,  how non-humans can have rights - this fascinating look at law, history, politics and philosophy gives you lots of information to improve your critical thinking around issues, near and dear to all animal lovers. 

Join Tom  and Ayoka in this fascinating look at the intersection of Humans, Animals, Ethics and Morals. 

Who has the copyright when an animal takes a selfie? When and why have animals been put on trial? 

How do we assign value to different lives and what does that say about us?

This compelling and important lecture was followed by a wide-ranging discussion and answers to thoughtfully articulated questions. 

Hone your critical thinking skills, bring your questions and curiosity!
