Animal Welfare Lecture

What are the 8 Guiding Principles for
Animal Welfare

A
  1. That there is a critical relationship between animal health and animal welfare.
  2. That the internationally recognized 5 freedoms provide valuable guidance.
  3. That the internationally recognized 3 R’s provide valuable guidance for the use of animals in science.
  4. That the scientific assessment of animal welfare involves diverse elements which need to be considered together, and that selecting and weighing these elements often involves
    value-based assumptions which should be made as explicit as possible.
  5. That the use of animals in agriculture, education
    and research, and companionship, recreation and entertainment, makes a major contribution to the
    wellbeing of people.
  6. That the use of animals carries with it an ethical responsibility to ensure the welfare of such animals
    to the greatest extent practicable.
  7. That improvements in farm animal welfare can often improve productivity and food safety, and
    hence lead to economic benefits.
  8. That equivalent outcomes based on performance criteria, rather than identical systems based on
    design criteria, be the basis for comparison of animal welfare standards and recommendations.
