Why Study Animal Welfare?
Animal welfare is continuously under discussion in many countries across the globe. From agricultural practices to how domestic pets are treated, and from captive zoo animals to hunting wild animals. There are always ongoing campaigns, services that deal with animal welfare, changing laws and changing attitudes towards animals.
This is related to one main aspect; the study of animal welfare. With the study of animal welfare, we have gained an understanding of the psychological and mental state of animals. We know now that animals are sentient beings, like ourselves, who feel pain and distress. If they are unable to express natural behaviours they begin to suffer, and if they are restricted to small, barren captive environments then they not only suffer physically, but also mentally. It is the ongoing study of animal welfare which has assisted us in learning these facts.
Levels of animal welfare alters dramatically from species to country, and it is through scientific welfare studies, education and political campaigns which will assist in making continuous changes for the positive benefits for animal welfare.
