In this episode we talk about:

  • How do scientists study animal emotions in the first place? How is a "science" of animal emotion even feasible?
  • When is it useful to anthropomorphise animals to understand them?
  • How can you study the preferences of animals? How can you measure the “strength” of preferences?
  • How do farmed animal welfare advocates relate to animal welfare science? Are their perceptions fair?
  • How can listeners get involved with the study of animal emotions?
