Asher Arataki is a researcher for Welfare Biology for Animal Ethics, and is temporarily in London. Luke Hecht, who also works on welfare biology for Animal Ethics (but lives in London) will also be present.

Asher would like to speak about Welfare Biology research and non-speciesist advocacy.

Due to the informal setting, the event will function more like a meet and greet session, but I may be able to rearrange the venue in the next couple of days to facilitate a clearer talk and Q&A format.

Depending on the interest in this event, we might make events to do with wild animal suffering and welfare biology more or less of a priority, so do get in touch if you're interested in the area but are unable to make this event.
