Animal Welfare

Animal Welfare refers to the well-being of non-human animals and encompasses various aspects related to their living conditions, treatment, and overall health. It involves ensuring that animals are provided with appropriate housing, nutrition, healthcare, and the ability to express natural behaviors. The concept promotes the ethical and humane treatment of animals, advocating for their rights and protection from suffering, abuse, and exploitation. Animal welfare addresses issues such as factory farming, animal testing, habitat destruction, and the trade of wildlife. It is underpinned by scientific research into animal sentience and understanding the physical and psychological needs of different species. The ultimate goal of animal welfare is to foster a society that respects, protects, and values animals, recognizing their capacity to experience pain and pleasure, and ensuring that they live fulfilling lives.
