Animal welfare & safeguarding

Animals involved in any educational activity must be handled responsibly and humanely, with their welfare taking priority over any demonstration or photograph.

If you are concerned about an animal's welfare, contact the competent local authorities or a licensed veterinarian. You may also inform us through the contact page. The association does not operate a shelter, rescue centre, clinic, or emergency service.

We avoid images that could distress viewers or show animals in unsafe situations, and we label illustrative imagery as such.

Our educational content is general in nature and is not a substitute for an individual veterinary examination.

Any activity involving minors or vulnerable participants will require appropriate supervision, parental or guardian consent, a code of conduct, and a clear procedure for reporting concerns, before it takes place.
