Animal Welfare
Animal welfare refers to the well-being of animals, encompassing their physical and mental states, as well as their ability to express natural behaviours. It is a key consideration in the ethical treatment of animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. Animal welfare principles include providing adequate nutrition, shelter, and health care, as well as minimising pain and distress, and allowing animals to engage in species-specific behaviours.
