Wild animal suffering: an overview of the course

This is the opening video for the course Introduction to wild animal suffering. It gives an overview of the topics that will be addressed in the 28 videos of the course. In the course, you'll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild. We reveal what the lives of the most numerous animals — invertebrates — are actually like and we review evidence of their sentience (consciousness). You'll hear what the contemporary debates in animal ethics are and how they relate to showing moral consideration for nonhuman animals. You'll find out about a proposed field of research called welfare biology, the study of the wellbeing of animals living in the wild. If you're interested in learning more about the subject, we have many articles on our website on the topics covered in the course. https://www.animal-ethics.org Please subscribe to our YouTube channel and click on the notification bell to get notified when new videos are released.
