Giving antiparasitic drugs to afflicted wild animals seems promising. Liedholm, Hecht, and Elliott on improving welfare through contraception is intriguing and a good entry point to research that takes the "valenced affective states" of wild animals seriously. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
Show PostI respect the idea that these kinds of interventions are just humans getting over their skis. Still, if we can improve the lives around us, human or not, we should. So I'm left feeling that, with wildlife, we have a responsiblity to figure out if we can and then proceed cautiously where we're able.
Show PostSome level of unintended ecosystem consequence is guaranteed. But there are also so many easy wins that *seem* to lie plain before us. Robust monitoring guidelines will be essential to figuring out what works as well as guarding against hubris. This is a great start.

None of this would exist without @wildanimals.bsky.social , where I refined these ideas and which is responsible for much of the scientific progress in wild animal welfare science. I'm grateful for their support!
