Peruvian lecture tour in August

In August I was invited by Peruvian organisation UPA to deliver a lecture tour on humane teaching methods, animal experimentation, the animal welfare standards of veterinarians, and other animal protection topics. They worked me hard – I delivered 20 main presentations primarily at four conferences, participated in eight veterinary and medical school meetings with faculty members, four alternatives exhibitions, and five press conferences and media interviews. However, they also fed me well, and gave me a little time off to explore the Andes (see pics). Don't miss the published story of this adventure! I'm grateful to Swiss organization AG STG for sponsoring the tour, and to InterNICHE for supplying the alternatives.

    However, as with all the talks, I only pretended to be tired and grumpy. Actually it was wonderful being able to give so many presentations, and reach so many people, and to be able to educate them all about humane teaching methods, animal experiments and other important animal welfare issues. There'll be plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead. And besides, the students here gave me this cool Peruvian hat! And then we got to visit an Incan city, half buried in the desert sands nearby... In fact, UPA did a really incredible job of organising so many highly successful events, and I'd be more than happy to do it all again - particularly if they double the vegan cake ration!
