This document discusses different types of activism campaigns aimed at ending animal experimentation. It outlines militant direct activism tactics like protests, raids, and property destruction, but notes these can lose public support. More effective approaches include scientific activism by publishing research on animal models' poor predictability, student campaigns for humane teaching methods, and public activism through education and generating awareness. The key to ending animal experimentation is changing public, scientific, and government belief in its necessity through awareness of alternatives and the ethical case against it.
Biosecurity issues impact on key crops and environmental values across NZ and Australia. A key outcome for the project team will be the ability of indigenous communities, and relevant regulatory authorities and industries, to better manage the social, environmental and economic impacts of biosecurity threats, and to participate in biosecurity strategies through improved bicultural engagement models that build empowerment and ownership in indigenous communities and their response to those threats. The teams have developed an engagement model adapted to the indigenous peoples and their communities of each country.
This project aims to build the ability of indigenous communities (Maori and Aboriginal), regulatory authorities and industries to better manage the impact of biosecurity threats. Models have been developed for Indigenous engagement.

10 Confounding Content-Marketing Challenges (and How to Solve Them) MarketingProfs
At a recent MarketingProfs seminar, Ann Handley (chief content officer at MarketingProfs) and Stephanie Tilton (content marketing consultant for B2B high tech) answered the top 10 questions about content marketing that they are often asked.
This slide show are the visual notes taken during the seminar.
Until recently, critical evaluations of the accuracy of such claims have been rare. However, several large-scale systematic reviews of the value of the animal experiments have now been published in scientific and medical journals, by the speaker and his scientific colleagues. Several have received awards at international scientific conferences.
The outcomes have been consistent: animal experiments have contributed far less than advocates would have us believe.
This presentation summarises these recent results, and comprehensively reviews the alternatives to invasive animal use with biomedical research, toxicity testing, and education.

To Test or Not to Test: Ethics in Animal Testing
The subject of animal testing raises questions of necessity. Animal testing is
something that has been done for many years for several different reasons. It has been
used since the dawn of medicine by physicians and scientists. From biomedical research
to testing cosmetics, people claim that animal testing is necessary to benefit people in sa-
tiating their need for certain products as well as saving lives. There is an idea that animals
are the best way to find treatments and cures for people, but the treatment of animals is of
concern for some members of society. Society is feeling more and more that animals
have as much right to live freely in this world as humans do, and our obligation to see to
this makes animal testing a societal problem. Due to these concerns and others, there
have been several laws and acts formed to protect animals and minimize their suffering.
And with the advances of technology and other discoveries, the question of the necessity
of animal testing is becoming an issue for animal activist s and lovers everywhere. { The
future of medicine and biomedical research should not rely on animals for testing. In-
stead, we should use alternative testing methods and work toward making different life-
style choices. These solutions create the ethical outcome of ending the suffering of these
animals, which will have a positive influence on society and culture}.

Similar to Gravediggers and scholars: campaigning to end animal experimentation (20)
Educational animal use and alternativesAndrew Knight
Animal use resulting in harm or death has historically played an integral role in life and health sciences education, in disciplines such as surgery, physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, and parasitology. However, the last few decades have seen a rapid increase in the availability of non-harmful alternatives, such as computer simulations, high quality videos, ‘ethically-sourced cadavers’ such as those from animals euthanized for medical reasons, preserved specimens, models and surgical simulators, non-invasive self-experimentation and supervised clinical experiences. Yet students seeking to use such methods often face strong opposition from faculty members, who usually cite concerns about their teaching efficacy.
In 2021 we published a systematic review of learning outcomes achieved by humane alternatives, compared to harmful animal use. We located 50 relevant studies from 1968–2020, primarily from the USA, UK, and Canada. Humane teaching methods produced learning outcomes superior (30%), equivalent (60%), or inferior (10%) to those produced by traditional harmful animal use.
Many additional studies in which comparison with harmful animal use did not occur have illustrated other benefits of humane teaching methods, namely; time and cost savings, increased repeatability and flexibility of use, customization of the learning experience, more active learning, facilitation of autonomous and life-long learning, improved attitudes towards computers and alternatives to animal use, and increased employer perception of computer literacy.
This presentation reviews educational animal use, humane teaching methods, and evidence concerning teaching efficacy. The results indicate that educators can best serve their students and animals, while minimizing financial and time burdens upon their faculties, by introducing well-designed teaching methods not reliant upon harmful animal use.
Climate change: the livestock connectionAndrew Knight
The human-caused (anthropogenic) rate of species extinction is already 1,000 times more rapid than the ‘natural’ rate of extinction typical of Earth’s long-term history, with the result that we are currently living through one of the very few mass extinctions to date. It is clear that climate change represents the greatest threat to life on Earth for many millennia.
Given the urgency with which we must reduce the size of our collective ecological footprint, it is remarkable that so little attention has been afforded to livestock production. The inconvenient truth is that the emissions resulting from clearing land to graze livestock and grow feed, from the livestock themselves, and from processing and transporting livestock products, are greater than those resulting from any other sector. These factors are explored, as are the profound impacts of climate change on global food security.
Strategies for mitigating the environmental damage created by livestock production are reviewed. It is clear that replacing livestock products with alternatives would be the best strategy for reversing climate change, and would have far more rapid effects on green house gas emissions and their atmospheric concentrations, than actions to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.
Was Jack the Ripper a Slaughterman? Human-Animal Violence and the World’s Mos...Andrew Knight
The identity of Jack the Ripper remains one of the greatest unsolved crime mysteries in history. Jack was notorious both for the brutality of his murders and also for his habit of stealing organs from his victims. His speed and skill in doing so, in conditions of poor light and haste, fueled theories he was a surgeon. However, re-examination of a mortuary sketch from one of his victims has revealed several key aspects that strongly suggest he had no professional surgical training. Instead, the technique used was more consistent with that of a slaughterhouse worker. There were many small-scale slaughterhouses in East London in the 1880s, within which conditions were harsh for animals and workers alike. The brutalizing effects of such work only add to concerns highlighted by modern research that those who commit violence on animals are more likely to target people. Modern slaughterhouses are more humane in some ways but more desensitizing in others, and sociological research has indicated that communities with slaughterhouses are more likely to experience the most violent of crimes. The implications for modern animal slaughtering, and our social reliance on slaughterhouses, are explored.
Should we care about animals? Why? Which ones? Do animals have moral standing? Do we have duties/obligations towards them? Which actions are acceptable/unacceptable? This presentation explores the major philosophical schools of thought about the moral status of animals, and our duties toward them, and examines related topics such as animal consciousness and sentience.
Vegetarians are usually fitter than meat-eaters, and vegans are fittest of all! The Extreme Vegan Sporting Association (www.ExtremeVeganSports.org) was created to cater for their extreme sporting needs. This extremely popular presentation graphically illustrates extreme vegan sports such as mountaineering, rogaining, spelunking, naked jogging, skydiving, cliff-diving and yodelling. Special highlights include the recently successful Vegan 3 Peaks Challenge, a vegan descent of a suicidally dangerous Mallorcan cliff, and vegans throwing themselves out of aircraft to dance music. Be vegan and be inspired!
The health hazards inherent to commercial meat-based companion animal diets are extensive and difficult to avoid, and can include slaughterhouse waste, supermarket rejects, restaurant grease, fish contaminants, endotoxins, mycotoxins, and toxic chemicals. Unsurprisingly, studies have identified kidney, liver, heart, neurologic, visual, neuromuscular and skin diseases, bleeding disorders, birth defects, immunocompromisation and infectious diseases associated with meat-based diets. There is no scientific reason why a diet comprised only of plant, mineral and synthetically-based ingredients cannot be formulated to meet all of the nutritional requirements of cats and dogs, and several commercially-available vegan diets claim to do so. Health benefits commonly observed include decreased skin parasites and improved coat condition, allergy control, weight and arthritis control, and improved vitality. Correct use of a complete and balanced nutritional supplement is essential, however, to avoid potentially severe health problems, particularly in cats, and monitoring of urinary acidity is strongly advisable. These topics will be explored in greater detail, and are described at www.vegepets.info.
Careers in Animal Advocacy: Veterinary MedicineAndrew Knight
Qualifications sorely needed by the animal protection movement include medicine, nutrition/dietetics, veterinary medicine, law, education, and supporting specialisations, such as graphic/web design and fundraising/marketing. The advantages of acquiring a professional qualification and career include increased expertise and credibility when campaigning on issues, considerably increased funds for campaigning, the ability to take charge of one’s own campaigns, and increased ability to travel internationally as required (including well-earned rest breaks in exotic locations, which may be required often). These topics, including several suitable exotic locations, will be reviewed.
Animals Count: a Political Party for People and AnimalsAndrew Knight
During the London elections of May 1st, 2008, Animals Count (AC) became the first political party for the animals to contest a UK election. Launched in 2006 by London-based animal welfare scientist and educator Jasmijn de Boo, AC was established to raise the status of animal issues within UK politics. We’ve grown from the successful Dutch Party for the Animals, which is the fastest growing political party in Europe.
Animals Count aims to set the standard as the political party advocating most strongly for animals within the UK, whilst also supporting other socially and environmentally responsible policies. We seek to demonstrate by example, that comprehensive, well-reasoned policies on animal issues are not only possible, but desirable, and can enhance the manifestos of political parties. We’ve had some success at encouraging the adoption of animal-friendly policies by other parties with a far greater command of political power. Indeed, the potential to positively influence much larger parties offers the greatest potential benefits. Accordingly, we have met various MPs to advocate animal-friendly policies. Additionally, we seek to demonstrate that voters care about animal issues, by directly contesting elections.
This presentation by AC’s Spokesperson reviews political parties and actions for animals within Europe and abroad; describes the development of AC; outlines our main policies; and our strategies for raising the status of animal issues within UK politics.
Justifications for invasive experiments on animals rely on claims that such research is essential for the advancement of biomedical knowledge, for the development of cures to human diseases, or for the evaluation of the toxicity of compounds to which humans are exposed. Until recently, critical evaluations of the accuracy of such claims have been rare. However, a growing body of large-scale systematic reviews have now been published in scientific and medical journals. The outcomes have been consistent: animal experiments have contributed far less than advocates would have us believe.
This presentation summarises these recent results, and comprehensively reviews the alternatives to invasive animal use with biomedical research, toxicity testing, and education.
Published studies are available at www.AnimalExperiments.info.
Advancing Animal Welfare Standards within the Veterinary ProfessionAndrew Knight
Veterinarians are widely considered to be experts on animal welfare. However, our survey of the positions of five of the world’s leading veterinary associations on five important animal use practices revealed that their positions frequently lagged behind those of the general public. These practices were the close confinement of laying hens in ‘battery cages,’ of pregnant sows in gestation crates, of veal calves in small crates, the cosmetic tail-docking of dogs, and the use of animals in scientific research and education.
To further examine the attitudes of veterinarians towards animal welfare, we ascertained the positions of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) on a broad range of practices commonly considered to result in poor welfare. With a veterinary membership in excess of 72,000 by 2005—the largest of any veterinary association—and claiming to act as “a collective voice for its membership and for the profession,” the AVMA is ideally suited to this purpose. While the AVMA did not support all practices resulting in poor welfare, it did support a substantial number of them, in some cases contrary to strong scientific evidence.
Such poor positions of veterinarians on animal welfare issues are largely attributable to deficiencies in veterinary education. Although humane alternatives are being introduced, harmful animal use in surgical and preclinical training remains common in veterinary courses worldwide, and although animal welfare and bioethics courses are also being introduced, these remain minimal in most veterinary curricula. Additional causes may include deficiencies in the selection of veterinary students, and misrepresentation of the opinions of veterinarians by their professional associations.
Solutions could include consideration of animal welfare awareness and critical reasoning ability during the selection of veterinary students, increased bioethics and critical reasoning training during veterinary education, continuing education credits for veterinarians who participate in such post-graduate training, the replacement of remaining harmful animal use in veterinary education with humane alternatives, and the encouragement of more active involvement of veterinarians in their professional associations.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. “Firebombs detonated on a porch and in a home belonging to
University of California at Santa Cruz researchers in the early
morning of August 2, 2008 are believed to have given a big late-in-
session boost to… a bill which would allow universities to withhold
the names of animal researchers from public documents.
…
[This bill] is in some respects a state version of the federal Animal
Enterprise Terrorism Act…”
- Clifton M. Animal People, 2008

or further our cause; indeed, they are counter-productive, …”
“The Santa Cruz firebombings, like several others in the past
several years, imminently preceded the sentencing of a prominent
direct action advocate. Tre Arrow, 34,…, on August 12, 2008 drew
78 months in federal prison and a restitution order for a series of
arsons committed in the name of the Earth Liberation Front…”
“[The bill] would restrict access to information about animal
research at both public institutions and private companies receiving

7. Animal experimentation will
continue, as long as:
A majority of (i) the government (ii) scientists and (iii) the
public believe it is necessary to protect and advance
human health, (and (iv), a sizeable industry is
economically reliant on it).
Mechanisms
Direct government intervention
Translocation to countries where animal protection is minimal
8. Requirements for ending animal
experimentation
Awareness by governments, ethics committee members, scientists
and the public of the poor human clinical and toxicological
predictivity and utility of animal models
Awareness of the poor cost/benefit ratio of animal experimentation
cf. other mechanisms for protecting and advancing human health
Awareness of the ethical case against animal experimentation (?)
Resultant public support for restrictions/bans on animal
experimentation
Resultant legislative restrictions/bans on animal experimentation
Finally… outreach to other countries
9. Some different types of activism
Scientific activism
Student activism
Public activism
10. Scientific activism
Studies: publication in scientific journals
Studies: presentations at scientific conferences
E.g. systematic reviews demonstrating the poor human clinical or
toxicological utility of animal experiments (around 93%
demonstrate poor utility)
Outreaching summaries

21. Public activism
Goals: educating legislators, scientists, the media, and
the public about the scientific and ethical case against
animal experimentation
Forwarding existing scientific studies or abstracts/shorter articles
Publishing own letters/articles
Speaking or arranging speaking opportunities/debates for experts
Seeking media attention through tactics designed to generate both
awareness and support:
Laboratory raids/undercover investigations to rescue animals
and gain footage of laboratory conditions
Graphic stunts: occupations, sit-ins, die-ins, pie-throwing, etc!
22. Conclusion
There is a great deal of intelligent, strategic activism
which is not undertaken by the animal protection
movement, although it is well within our ability. Such
activism would significantly speed up the abolition of
animal experimentation, which will otherwise take a very
long time.
