Absolutely. Research is fundamental to what we do. It's fundamental to the conversations we have around the table with the different viewpoints there are in animal welfare. If your value in animal welfare is on health, or your value is on natural behaviour, you can use science to inform that conversation and help those different viewpoints come together and understand each other so that we can create common ground to move forward on. That's why we work with the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies.
