David Fraser is on sabbatical leave during 2013. He is spending the first 4 months in New Zealand where he is associated with the Animal Welfare and Bioethics Centre of Massey University.
His main goal for the year is to begin writing a book linking animal welfare and conservation, but the first task is to work with Prof. Mellor and Dr. Julie Huzzey (post-doctoral fellow in the UBC Animal Welfare Program) on publications on animal welfare for the World Organisation for Animal Health.
