How are human-animal relationships changing end of life care?
Time & Location
About the Event
Find out about how humans and animals care for each other during end of life, how this is regulated, where it happens, who is doing it, and explore future directions of multi-species care with us. Do you have question about end of life care? Drop in and ask a Vet or Doctor or post it on our graffiti wall!
