Vandalized

This article has been effectively vandalized by Davidcpearce, with nearly all pertinent information removed. Donald Broom is the world's first professor of animal welfare and the contents that were here on the page are relevant to the interested reader. 2601:249:4300:1E80:DD0D:4906:37E7:8970 (talk) 11:36, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is not vandalism. Content must be sourced on Wikipedia otherwise it is original research and should be removed. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, biographical information needs to be sourced. I added a reference yesterday and I'm sure there are more to be found which could add to the career and qualification information. Tacyarg (talk) 06:31, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
