Der er mange (ubesvarede) spørgsmål om hvordan dyr oplever deres verden og hvad det betyder for hvordan vi skal behandle dem; hvad enten det er i fangenskab eller i forvaltning af vildtlevende bestande.
Sabrina Brando og Gordon M. Burghardt giver en introduktion til dyrs opfattelse af verden; kognition og emotioner, med udgangspunkt i forskning og praktiske erfaringer. Oplæg og debat er på engelsk.
Jens Olesen, biolog og tidligere vært på DR, vil facilitere en spændende aften.

Never has there been a more exciting time to study animals, both captive and wild. We have learned much about animals through through behavioural
observations and experiments as well as through ecological, physiological, and neuroscience research. Usually, to figure out what someone is thinking, all you
have to do is ask. But what if that someone can’t talk? Luckily, when trying to figure out how an animal (or human infant) thinks and might be feeling, we can design experiments that give them choices that reveal preferences, look at how they solve problems, or how he or she reacts psychologically. We can also listen to vocalizations, look at if and or how they play, or at human-animal interactions.
How do we study animals? How do we avoid uncritically applying anthropomorphism? The challenge is primarily the often difficult one of adopting the ‘animals’ point of view.’ Does what we know through science affect how we think about, interact with, and protect individuals and populations? Do we have more obligations
towards ‘smarter’ animals, endangered species, or ‘attractive’ ones? If the species is kept in captivity, what methods of study are more or less acceptable?
In this interactive workshop Dr. Gordon Burghardt and Sabrina Brando will explore together with the audience the fascinating topics of animal cognition, behaviour, and emotion, providing examples and discussion points, navigating through science, ethics, and moral conundrums.
