In this ten minute video Dr David Marlin discusses the engagement of followers and supporters of the AskAnimalweb Facebook page.
Following a recent post where David posed the question, “Is this acceptable?” we received over 700 interactions and a wealth of email feedback. As David explains in the video, the public comments on the post were often dismissive of the image, critical of David and the Animalweb team, and vastly different from the thoughtful and constructive private communications we received from professionals and Animalweb members.
To delve deeper and better understand the true sentiment of the equestrian community, we conducted a poll to gauge how people genuinely felt about the image. The results provide valuable insight into how the broader equestrian audience perceives this issue. Watch the video to discover the findings and explore the diverse perspectives shared!
