The ethical debate surrounding animal farming is taking on a new dimension after an international coalition of several dozen scientists signed a declaration putting forward at least a "realistic possibility" that animals have a consciousness. The aim of the "New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness" is to encourage more research in this area and raise awareness of animal welfare. The authors of the declaration focus on sentience in their understanding of consciousness. The signatories ask which animals can have subjective experiences. These could include sensory experiences - such as a par...

Here's something for you to chew on before Fido can be promoted to office dog: First of all, you'll need the permission of your superiors. The dog needs to be well socialized, vaccinated and dewormed. And your co-workers should be willing to go along.

A beloved rescue cat named Whiskas was reunited with her owner after going missing for 10 years. Linda Ellerton, who lives in the UK, rescued Whiskas and took care of the sweet cat for 6 years until the kitty suddenly disappeared one day.

More than a decade later a local resident had found the precious kitty taking shelter in her shed and took her to get the care that she needed. The feline had an old RSPCA microchip that was discovered by the local vet. Apparently, the RSPCA put out a call online, which got El...

The "man’s best friend" adage has been bolstered by new research showing walking a dog can make people feel more relaxed. "Interactions with dogs can decrease human stress and induce positive emotional responses," according to South Korean scientists, who scanned brain activity in 30 adults while they walked, brushed and played with a poodle. Interacting with a dog has a "positive effect on both relaxation and concentration," the Konkuk University team reported, in a paper published by the science journal PLOS One. But it's best to bring a ball or find a stick to throw while out that walk, as ...

Dogs can make us happy, that's why many of us have one. But besides being a source of companionship and joy, they can also help to reduce our stress levels and improve our ability to concentrate and be creative, a new study by researchers at Seoul's Konkuk University suggests. Using electroencephalography (EEG), the researchers monitored the brain activity of 30 healthy adults while engaged in different activities with a dog, namely "meeting, playing, feeding, massaging, grooming, photographing, hugging, and walking." They found that different types of interactions had different effects on the...
