The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) highlights the fundamental importance of the contribution made by veterinary activities to society by ensuring the health and well-being of animals and humans and by preserving the balance of ecosystems; it also emphasizes the importance of high-quality initial and continuing training in veterinary medicine.
Animal welfare is demonstrated by the way an animal lives in its environment. An animal's welfare is considered satisfactory if (on a scientific basis) the following criteria are met: good health, sufficient comfort, good nutritional status, safety, the possibility of expressing natural behaviours, and the absence of suffering such as pain, fear, and distress.
Animal welfare requires the following precautions: prevention and treatment of diseases, appropriate shelter (if necessary), care, suitable nutrition, and humane handling and slaughter.
The concept of animal welfare refers to the animal's condition. The treatment an animal receives is covered by other terms such as care, husbandry practices, and humane treatment.
Veterinarians must be at the forefront of advocating for the welfare of all animals by recognizing their vital role in society, as they are used for food production, as companion animals, for biomedical research, and for teaching.
