    I would love to hear how you have initiated discussions and how to appropriately and sensitively approach animal welfare topics to bridge a cultural gap.
    After watching some videos and listening to speakers, some recommendations have been useful (e.g., Deep Listening) and topics to avoid "How can WE help YOU?" and I'd like to know so much more.  Any tips? Advice? 
    Thanks so much!
