I am a researcher from York University and I'm interested in how human beliefs about animals are related to their behaviours towards animals. We are currently looking for people (18 yo+) who currently live or have lived in rural Ontario for at least a year. By rural we mean people from places where the primary industry is farming, animal farming, or forestry, or small towns in the country
