Up until recently lecturers at Cardiff universities biosciences department were allowed to bring their dogs with them into work, unfortunately this is no longer the case.

I would like to petition Cardiff university Biosciences department that this decision be reversed and dogs be allowed back into the Sir Martin Evans building. I believe that having dogs around the university has a very positive affect on both the staff and students and I personally very much enjoyed having outdoor tutorials with my personal tutor whilst walking their dog.

There is considerable literature available online showing the positive affects animals have in the work place for reducing stress and anxiety, and even the student union provides a 'petting zoo' to reduces student stress during exam periods.

Please sign the following petition to show support for our hard working lecturers and their furry friends and also to make biosciences that little bit more fun again.
