A Review on Animal Care and Welfare

Animal Care and welfare is an important aspect of animal rights advocacy. The meaning of animal welfare directly equates to human concerns when it comes to a political position on animal ethics and the promotion of animal rights. You might say that welfare is measurable through behavioral, physiological, and reproductive indicators in animals and how they are managed.

The universal concern for animal care and welfare is ambient on the promotion of co-habitation between humans and other living things. It is through the realization that we live in a sentient world and that other organisms should be given consideration that animal care and welfare will be fully encompassed in a forum. Animal concerns will involve how they are treated as pets, activities that involve them in the field of scientific discovery and how they are slaughtered for consumption. Most importantly the actions of human beings that may lead to  a specific species to become endangered are a true compass.

Animal care and welfare has been an ancient advocacy but did not take on a global impact until the 19^th century British influence. In today’s society, animal rights and advocacy has taken a noteworthy emphasis on the improvement of laws and practices that share in it’s spectrum such as veterinary science, overall animal rights and ethical laws.

In the course of political and ethical arguments for the standard for what is a true advocacy in animal rights, there are two rule of thoughts that prevail. One point of view which goes back to a few hundred years insists on the frailty of animal cognition and that animals have no awareness and do not need to be gauged on their welfare and treatment condition. The opposing view states that the animal is regarded as inhabiting life forms and should not be taken as property. These are the standard arguments which are brought in during animal welfare and care discussions and are used to argue the perception of welfare versus continued exploitation in animals.

When it comes to the study of ethics, welfarism is often the term used to refer to animal ethical standards. If you view a concrete definition of animal welfare it will tell you that it is the “evasion of exploitation in animal life by humans and using acceptable standards of shelter, care, nutrition  and the treatment of illness, the guarantee of fair treatment and no inflicted pain and suffering.
