Abstract

An animal's welfare should be governed by five freedoms, namely, freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from discomfort, freedom from pain, injury or disease, freedom to express normal behavior and freedom from fear and distress. If the essence of veterinary medicine is to act like a physician for animals then the profession must be vocal in opposition to production diseases, which can be prevented by changing the system of production.

摘要

动物的福利应受以下 5 种自由的支配，即免受饥渴、免受不适、免受痛苦、伤害或疾病、表达正常行为的自由以及免受恐惧和痛苦的自由。如果兽医的本质是像医生一样为动物服务，那么这个行业就必须强烈反对可通过改变生产体系来预防的生产疾病。
