Animal welfare protesters clash with police at Wisconsin beagle facility

About 1,000 animal welfare protesters who tried to gain entry to a beagle breeding and research facility in Wisconsin have been turned back by police who fired rubber bullets and pepper spray into the crowd and arrested the group’s leader. It was the second attempt in as many months by protesters to take beagles from the Ridglan Farms facility in Blue Mounds, a small town about 25 miles southwest of the capital city of Madison. Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett, in a video statement, said between 300 and 400 protesters were “violently trying to break into the property” and assault officers on Saturday.

In this study, de Bracque et al. used our PortaLite device to measure cerebral oxygenation in baboons, showing how adaptable the technique is across species and environments.

🟡 A non-invasive approach that keeps animal welfare central
🔵 Reliable monitoring of cerebral activity during naturalistic behavior
🟡 New opportunities to understand primate cognition and comparative neuroscience

Further, we could use the estimated, fitted parameters of the #ACEmodel to simulate #DigitalTwin mice, reproducing the effects we observed in the data and at the same time reducing the reliance on animal use.

We are having a "culture of care" discussion day at work related to our research with animals. I wonder if any of you have tips on how to best care for research animals (mostly rodents here) and also staff (animal tech, researchers, students in contact with animals etc.)?

Obviously (at least in the UK / Europe) we already only do ethically-approved experiments, but there's always ways to make our animals more happy (like, enrichment, socialisation etc.).
