SIXTH INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON WORKING EQUIDS
Source: the Brooke News Release
Leading experts from the field of equine welfare are set to deliver a groundbreaking conference resulting in the development of new approaches benefiting working horses and donkeys, and their owners.
“Working horses, mules and donkeys are integral to rural transport and food production, distribution and security in developing countries,” said Joy Pritchard, the Brooke’s Senior Animal Welfare and Research Advisor. “There are 100 million of them in the world and the majority are owned by individuals who use them as their sole or main means of income, so this is a vital topic for discussion.”
The Sixth Colloquium - hosted on this occasion by equine animal welfare charity, the Brooke – will see keynote speakers from international development, social science, human health and education, joining animal scientists, veterinarians and others working in the field.
Up to two hundred guests from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas are expected to attend the four day event, comprising lectures and sessions on topics such as balancing the needs of humans and animals - the ethics of animal use, and livelihoods, rural transport and the global context.
