To date, there has been no dedicated organisation in Malaysia focusing on farmed animal welfare issues, meaning that these issues have been largely overlooked. 

Thankfully, there are individuals in Malaysia who, over the years, have devoted their time, knowledge and expertise to reduce farmed animal suffering. One such individual is Dr. Natasha Lee, a veterinarian and animal welfare expert, who runs her own animal welfare consultancy called Animal Happiness.  

In this webinar, Dr. Lee will outline some of the pressing farmed animal issues in Malaysia that need attention, and the various strategies that can be used to improve the welfare of farmed animals. She will also share how she uses her knowledge and expertise as a vet and animal welfare specialist to further the cause of farmed animal welfare.

Speaker: Dr. Natasha Lee, Animal Happiness

Date: 28th November (Tuesday)

Time:  7:00 PM to 8:00 PM (GMT+7) / 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM (GMT+8) 

Who should attend: 

Everyone with an interest in farmed animal protection is welcome to join, particularly if you are based in Malaysia, and/or interested in pursuing a career in the field.
