TOP REVIEWS FROM ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR AND WELFARE
A Really great course which is interesting, informative and well executed. The video lectures were top notch and the visuals always suited the narration. Great work by the team behind this course.
What an incredibly interesting and educational course! A bit hard to watch at times but I am very grateful for the knowledge this course has given me and how wonderfully it was put together.
Interesting, thank you for making this course available. After taking it I transitioned from being pescetarian to vegan and I wish that more controversial animal rights concerns were more focused on.
Great portion of knowledge together with tutor's experience was provided in that course. I did learn things which I wasn't even aware regarding animal welfare. It is quite thought-provoking course.
