New Article on Animal Welfare: Over 20% of Irish Dairy Farmers Choose Ignorance Over Reality in Calves' Transport

Farmers and farms’ characteristics appear to influence the probability to view the image and a treatment exploration suggest that the farmers’ decision is not a survey artefact. Link to paper
