主な研究と活動

 人が動物たちと共存して暮らすって、どういうことなのでしょうか。
この研究室は、人と動物が幸せに共生できる社会づくりのために、社会環境と動物愛護・福祉の向上を目指しています。
 日頃から保護犬、保護猫、地域猫やアニマルシェルター(動物保護施設)、新しい飼い主への譲渡活動等にかかわり、「動物たちの命の尊厳」について探求しています。また、災害時のペットと飼い主のことを考え、ペット用防災アプリの開発、一般の飼い主に配布するペット防災手帳、そしてペット用トリアージタグ(被災動物の治療の優先順位を決定するもの)を作製し、被害を最小限にする取り組みを行っています。さらに、臨床獣医師である経験を活かし、老犬や障害を持った動物のための犬用車いすの有用性など、動物ができるだけ長く健康であり続けるための方法を日々模索しています。
 社会的に弱い立場にいる動物一頭一頭の命を大切にし、環境、健康、教育、社会的システム等をより良くすることで「人と動物が共に笑顔になる」、そんな研究が私たちの目標です。
