Ask the Animals: Dr. Jill Fernandes on Understanding Animal Welfare [Episode 206]

Animal care professionals stand as advocates in a world where animals and their welfare often remain misunderstood. But sometimes, even the most passionate of us can feel lost and overwhelmed, unable to understand what 'welfare' truly means to these animals.

Enter Dr Jill Fernandes, our guest for today's episode. An animal welfare scientist and consultant, Dr Fernandes grew up surrounded by a diverse range of animals, which sparked her curiosity and dedication towards their welfare. She has carved a niche for herself, advocating for animals and helping us understand their needs better.

She's here to solve your problem, to demystify the often challenging concept of animal welfare, and guide you through a journey of understanding and communicating with the animals. She shares with us her three unique approaches to 'ask the animals' - beginning with understanding the animal's natural history, forgetting our preconceived notions, and honing our observational skills.

By applying Dr Fernandes' techniques, you'll not just understand animals better but also become a more effective advocate for their welfare and be better prepared to meet their need. Her expert insights help you break down the barriers and decipher what the animals are trying to communicate.

So tune in to our latest episode, "Asking the Animals: A Guide to Animal Welfare", and let Dr Fernandes guide you through the fascinating world of animal welfare. Discover a new understanding of animals and their needs and empower yourself to make a real difference in their lives. With this new knowledge, you're not just a listener; you're a changemaker in the realm of animal welfare.
