We hear more and more about animal welfare, but what is it really?
Luc Mounier, Head of the Chaire Bien-être animal, defines today animal welfare.
When assessing animal welfare, we must always look at things from the animal’s point of view.
LUC MOUNIER
Keep in mind
- The welfare of an animal is its positive mental and physical state as related to the fulfilment of its physiological and behavioural needs in addition to its expectations (Anses, 2018)
- Welfare is individual and specific to each animal.
- This state can vary depending on the animal's perception of a given situation.
When assessing animal welfare, we must always look at things from the animal’s point of view.
