This course is very important to me to understand the actual animal welfare problems and how to face them. I have learned a lot about dogs and cats. Being a cat breeder it is very encouraging to me.

It was a very interesting course. I am taking it from the United States and I did have some problem in understanding the presenters. Occasionally I would follow along in the transcripts.
