Abstract

Animal welfare refers to the physical and emotional state that is impacted by the environment in which the animal lives and works, human attitudes and practices, and resources available to it.  Welfare is an everchanging state in which all of these factors can and will cause welfare to fluctuate between good, bad and somewhere in between on a near constant basis.
