What happened in farm animal advocacy research January 2020.
What happened in farm animal advocacy research this month? We receive this question often and here's our experiment with an answer.
Sign-up to our mailing list for more updates like this.
This list includes all studies we know of published in January 2020 that are both:
- empirical, that is, report new data (or commenting on or synthesizing such research), and
- about advocating for farm animals (rather than, for example, the welfare of farm animals themselves).
What did we miss? Drop us a line.
