Donato Rossella completed this course, spending 10 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
The course was helpful in providing in depth knowledge about the challenges of welfare and behavior in animals. I was already familiar with some concepts and finished it in a week, but I think it is useful also for people who are not in the veterinary field, but want to know "what's going on" with animal production and also gain self-awareness of the issues with their companion animals. Some contents may be upsetting though, so it is required some level of maturity in handling them. -

An interesting course focusing on animal behaviour and how we treat animals in the context of pets, farm animals, zoos and other interactions. How often do we focus on our own perceptions and desires rather than the best outcome for the animals? Not always a comfortable course, but plenty to think about. -
