Among the lectures on Behavioral Enrichment, Animal Training, Animal Keeping and numerous others by distinguished speakers, the event also marked the official launch of the Human Animal Interaction Research Institute (ICIOA). You can visit the institute's site here.

Also, you can visit my Youtube channel for HD recordings of some of the lectures.

Anti - ACTA protest Bucharest

Around 300 people gathered today in Bucharest to protest against ACTA.There were more people than I expected and less people than I hoped.
Even though the protest for some reason was not given the proper media attention, the protesters endured -10 degrees cold in order to urge the authorities to ban ACTA in Romania. It was a peaceful protest done by a very enthusiastic crowd, mostly young educated people.
Hats off to them !

                                                                                                                                                                    

To quote one of the slogans we shouted there today:
" ROMANIA, WAKE UP !!!"
