Animal Welfare: How an animal is coping physically, physiologically and psychologically with the
conditions in which it lives. Physically includes pain and injury; physiologically includes environmental or
disease stressors; and psychologically includes stressors that affect the senses, especially those that result
in fear, fighting, distress or stereotypic behaviours due to either frustration or boredom. Animal welfare
refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as
animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment.
