Astray by Tan, Ken Wei Hao

“…Inspiration to do this project came fortunately with the advent of “YouTube” which had opened up my world to so much life changing content and as I was watching “The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross” something clicked in my head when he, in one episode said “I spent half my life doing someone else’s thing, painting should make you happy and if it doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing the wrong thing.” …”

Relationship between active protection in vaccinated buffaloes against haemorrhagic septicaemia and passive mouse protection test or serum antibody titres by Chandrasekaran, S., Kennett, L., Yeap, P.C., Muniandy, N., Rani, B., Mukkur, T.K.S.

“…Although the passive mouse protection and indirect haemagglutination tests carried out with the pre-challenge sera from vaccinated buffaloes revealed no relationship with active protection in buffaloes, a relationship was observed between the ELISA antibody titres and protection. In contrast, a dose-response relationship was observed between the homologous active and passive mouse protection test. © 1994.…”

Humans first: why people value animals less than humans by Caviola, L, Schubert, S, Kahane, G, Faber, NS

“…The key driver behind moral anthropocentrism was thus mere species-membership (<em>speciesism</em>). However, all else equal, participants still gave more moral weight to individuals with higher mental capacities (<em>individual mental capacity principle</em>), suggesting that the belief that humans have higher mental capacities than animals is part of the reason that they give humans moral priority. …”
