A fan may feel a sense of empowerment, as if he has the right to act on his emotions, said Susan Riseling, the chief of police at the University of Wisconsin and co-presenter of the audio conference, “Better Fan Behavior: Interventions That Work.”
“If today’s fans are looking for empowerment, then maybe we should give them some,” she said. “We can encourage them to police themselves and report bad behavior. It may be the best way to reverse the trend.”

After 23 years, UW-Madison anthropology professor Karen Strier knows that her life’s work – studying and helping to protect the endangered muriqui monkeys of Brazil – comes with its own rewards.
“I think it’s impossible not to develop a great affection (for the monkeys),” Strier said. “There really is a sense every time I go back and see them that they’re my friends. There’s also this exquisite sensation of building trust with another species, and the idea that they would let us into their lives.”

Pig tails are often docked to prevent biting, according to Peter Bahnson, assistant professor of swine medicine with the University of Wisconsin Veterinary School.
“It’s poor for the pig’s health if they chew on its tail,” he said. “It’s not well understood what starts tail biting, but once they get started, they continue more frequently.” Bitten tails are painful and can become infected, Bahnson said.
Forget those visions of peacefully feeding dairy cows with tails gracefully swishing through the air. Those tails are most likely docked – leaving a stump instead of a swisher.
“It is relatively common in Wisconsin dairy herds,” said Dr. Ken Nordlund, a clinical professor in the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.
“Probably the primary reason is convenience. The tail is a tail, and as milkers work around the udder, the cows flip the tail and it is like getting swatted in the face with a flyswatter.”
That’s the reason farmers started docking tails, but modern milking parlors have removed that potential problem, said Bill Endres, a Waunakee dairy farmer. Tail docking is now regarded as a way to keep cows clean and – consequently – comfortable, he said.
