Belgorod
State Agricultural University
Prof. Dr. Tayana Kontsevaya, university lecturer at the State Agricultural University of Belgorod, Russia, has been advocating for a humane veterinary education for many years with the support of the Russian animal rights organization VITA and InterNICHE, the international network for humane education. Thanks to InterNICHE, the university was even able to acquire the dog simulator "Jerry". Due to Dr. Kontsevaya’s commitment, the use of animals in her area had already been reduced to a minimum.
The university is well-equipped with computers. What was still lacking for a modern curriculum was the appropriate software. We donated a set of zoology and physiology CDs/DVDs and signed an agreement confirming that, as of September 1, 2018, the institute is 100% animal -free.
