For this episode I even had the luck to speak with 5 people. All five going to be part of one of the sessions of the Summit for Animals, who will take place in Halifax, Canada, from May 6-7. The Summit for Animals is the largest conference for the animal welfare sector in Canada and hosted by Humane Canada (link), the national federation of humane societies and SPCAs (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals), and the convener of animal welfare in Canada. The summit has been held for 10 years already, every year in a different city. This May will be the 11th edition and the first time hosting it in the east cost of Canada. They have 10 educational topics at the Summit, everything from leadership, tackling fatigue and building resilience, to companion animals, wild and farmed animals and access to care; with 40+ sessions and over 65 speakers.

In this episode we will talk about the last topic with the focus on marginalised and rural communities: 'partnering with indigenous communities to increase access to veterinary care'. We talk about the reasons why access to veterinary care is so difficult for indigenous communities. You will hear different experiences on the fundamental challenges faced by the communities in terms not only of animal welfare and on developing context-specific services, but above all how important it is as an organisation to take time to build relationships of trust.

Welcome to our podcast! Why, how and what for - that's what we briefly explain to you!

Willkommen bei unserem Podcast! Wieso, weshalb, warum - das erklären wir euch hier ganz kurz! (ab min 2:38)

In welchen Formen Tierschutz im Alltag einer Kleintierpraxis vorkommt, welche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der tierärztlichen Beratung gegenüber Patientenbesitzenden es gibt und warum man für eine Euthanasie auch mal unter den Terrassentisch krabbelt - all das erzählt uns Christiane Bärsch.

Christiane ist Tierärztin, hat 2004 ihre Promotion am Institut für Tierzucht an der Tierärztlichen Hochschule Hannover abgeschlossen, anschließend ein Internship an der Kleintierklinik absolviert, ist 2007 Praxisinhaberin geworden und seit 2022 Präsidentin der niedersächsischen Tierärztekammer.

Tierschutz ist für sie sehr eng geknüpft mit der Zufriedenheit der Kolleg:innen und daher unter anderem auch ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg beim herrschenden Tierärzt:innenmangel. Wir sprechen gemeinsam darüber welche Praxisrelevanz Tierschutz hat und diskutieren dies anhand einiger Fallbeispiele.

Falls ihr Christiane Bärsch noch Fragen stellt wollt: mail@xiane.de

We talk about their work at WTS (Welttierschutzstiftung), what it needs to include animal welfare into the veterinary curriculum in countries all over the world, how young and passionate people can change the system and how important language is when it comes to making teaching material accessible.

This time it's not only about Animal Welfare, but ONE Welfare. Kendy tells us what it actually means, how her resarch on sheltered and stray dogs in Taiwan is connected to it and about her future research goals. She is an Assistant Professor and the principal investigator of the One Welfare Epidemiology lab at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, National Chung Hsing University. In 2018 she finished her PhD at the Sydney School of Veterinary Science. Later on she worked on a European One Health Programme, completed her postdoc on risk assessment of the introduction of the African swine fever virus to Taiwan, and also spent quite some time working as a project lecturer at the University.

Let's dive deeper into the world of Animal Welfare!
