Declaration on animal sentience in animal-assisted services

IAHAIO has been working with Philip Tedeschi of the University of Denver’s Institute for Animal Sentience and Protection (DU IASP)  on a global declaration of animal sentience in animal-assisted services. Several online meetings were held earlier in the year with Philip and his  team  some of our Regional Representatives. A workshop on the draft declaration was held in August at the IAHAIO Conference in Amsterdam, where there was opportunity for delegates to give further input. The IAHAIO Board has conducted a final review of the declaration and we are very proud to present this to our IAHAIO members.
