  • 86 Behind the Enclosure: Welfare Assessment, Ethics, and the Future of Animals in Asian Zoos
    2026/01/01

    What does good welfare really look like for bears and other non-human animals living in zoos—and how can we measure it in meaningful, practical ways?

    In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Anna Fourage, animal welfare expert, to explore the development of welfare assessment tools for captive bears, with a special focus on zoos across Asia and Thailand. She co-founded People or Pets in China, holds an MSc in International Animal Welfare, Ethics, and Law from the University of Edinburgh, and just finished her PhD in anthropology researching the role of zoos in Thailand. Anna shares key insights from recent research on creating a composite welfare assessment tool for hibernatory bears, unpacking its major findings, strengths, and current limitations.

    We dive into the reliability of keeper ratings as welfare indicators across different institutions, discussing the real challenges of intra- and inter-rater consistency. Together, we explore which behavioural, physiological, and environmental indicators are currently the most valid for assessing bear welfare.

    Beyond the science, this conversation tackles the practical and ethical realities of zoo welfare. How can welfare tools be designed to be both scientifically robust and realistically usable, especially in resource-limited settings? What are the biggest barriers facing Thai zoos in improving welfare standards?

    We also broaden the lens to the global ethical challenges of keeping large mammals in captivity, discussing the evolving mission of modern zoos—balancing conservation, education, and animal welfare—and how visitors can be meaningfully engaged in that mission.

    An essential listen for anyone interested in animal welfare science, zoo ethics, conservation, andthe future of captive wildlife care.

    In this episode, we bring you scientifically grounded insights - perfect for sparking thoughtful conversations at your festive table. Our expert guest is Andrew Knight, Veterinary Professor of Animal Welfare, whose research on vegan pet food has been widely featured in international news outlets.


    Together, we explore:

    • Studies on the health outcomes of pets fed plant‑based diets and whether these can be nutritionally sound.
    • The acceptance among animals and their guardians in practice.
    • Hands-on advice and reliable resources for anyone interested, from curious pet parents to veterinary students and practitioners.

    Enjoy, feed your mind, and share this exciting interview!

  • 84 Wenn der Stall brennt: Brandschutz und Evakuierung von Milchrindern
    2025/12/10

    In dieser spannenden Episode begrüßen wir Florian Diel-Loose, Tierarzt und promovierter Experte für Brandschutz im Rinderstall. Mit seiner Doktorarbeit "Strategien zur Evakuierung von Milchvieh bei Stallbränden" hat er ein Thema beleuchtet, das in der Landwirtschaft oft unterschätzt wird – die Sicherheit von Nutztieren im Brand- und Katastrophenfall. Gemeinsam sprechen wir darüber, wie häufig Stallbrände tatsächlich auftreten und warum sie nicht nur ein Sicherheits-, sondern klar auch ein Tierschutzthema sind.

    Florian erklärt, wie Evakuierungsstrategien in der Nutztierhaltung bislang aussehen – oder leider oft fehlen – und welche besonderen Herausforderungen es bei Milchrindern im Vergleich zu anderen Nutztierarten gibt. Wir diskutieren, welche Elemente ein effektiver Evakuierungsplan unbedingt enthalten muss, wer eigentlich die Verantwortung dafür trägt und wie die Zusammenarbeit von Rettungskräften und Landwirt:innen aussehen kann.

    Außerdem geht es um gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen: Gibt es konkrete Vorgaben für Tierhaltende oder bleiben viele Maßnahmen lediglich Empfehlungen? Florian teilt Erfahrungen aus der Studie und realen Übungseinsätzen und erläutert, warum regelmäßige Trainings sowohl für Landwirte als auch für Einsatzkräfte hilfreich sind – und wie Tiere überhaupt an Notgänge oder Evakuierungssituationen gewöhnt werden können.

    Eine Episode voller praxisnaher Einblicke, fachlicher Tiefe und wertvoller Impulse für alle, die sich mit landwirtschaftlicher Tierhaltung und Tierschutz beschäftigen.
