The Five Freedoms
Developed by the government of the U.K., the Five
Freedoms outline five aspects of minimum acceptable care for livestock.
Note: I think all pets need to have these same
protections.
1. Freedom
from hunger or thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain
full health and vigor.
2. Freedom
from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment that includes shelter
and a comfortable resting area.
3. Freedom
from pain, injury or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
4. Freedom
to express normal behavior by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and
company of he animal’s own kind.
5. Freedom
from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment that avoid mental
suffering.
