What is animal welfare?
Animal Welfare is not only about ensuring an animal is not treated cruelly or caused unnecessary pain or suffering, it is about ensuring that an animal’s physical state, its mental state and its ability to fulfill its natural needs and desires are considered and attended to.
Why Animal Welfare? Human concern for animal welfare is based on the awareness that animals
are sentient and that consideration should be given to their well-being, especially when they are used for food, in animal testing, as pets, or in other ways.
