What is animal welfare?
Moon bear, Vietnam
Animal welfare concerns the state of an animal’s body and mind, and the extent to
which its wellbeing is satisfied. The universally accepted principles of animal welfare
are known as the Five Freedoms.
1. Freedom from hunger or thirst by
ready access to fresh water and a diet
to maintain full health
2. Freedom from discomfort by
providing an appropriate environment
including shelter and a comfortable
resting area
4. Freedom to express normal
behaviours by providing sufficient
space, proper facilities and company
of the animal’s own kind
5. Freedom from fear and distress by
ensuring conditions and treatment
that avoid mental suffering
3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease
by prevention or rapid diagnosis
and treatment
We believe animals should be healthy, comfortable, safe, well fed and able to make
choices and demonstrate natural behaviour.
