Dr. Markus Bauer, head of the reptile sanctuary in Munich, talks to the participants of this event about torture breeding and color morphs in reptiles. He will also shed light on the consequences of these measures for the animals concerned. The deliberate modification of genetic material in order to achieve a certain appearance leads in many cases to lifelong illness and suffering.

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on environmental awareness and interest in climate protection at universities. Even though this has resulted in very successful formats to date, the direct relationship between humans and animals has not yet been sufficiently addressed in university contexts. In an increasingly complex world, it also makes sense not to look at major challenges in isolation. The lecture series of the Chair of Didactics and Educational Research in Healthcare and the Junior Professorship for Digital Health therefore refers to the synthesis "human-animal relationship" and offers a far-reaching platform for a comprehensive discussion and examination of the diverse aspects of animal welfare, environmental awareness and ethics.
