Animal Welfare Standards

Animal Welfare Standards are guidelines and laws that ensure animals are treated humanely and their needs are met. They cover proper housing, nutrition, health care, and freedom from unnecessary suffering or distress. These standards aim to promote both physical well-being and natural behaviors, recognizing animals as sentient beings. They are used by farmers, zoos, and organizations to maintain ethical practices and improve living conditions, fostering responsible stewardship and respecting animal life. Overall, they serve as a benchmark for humane treatment across different settings involving animals.
