Animal welfare refers to the well-being of animals and their ability to live healthy, happy lives. It involves ensuring that animals are treated with kindness and respect, whether they are pets, farm animals, or wildlife. Good animal welfare means providing proper food, shelter, and medical care, as well as allowing animals to express natural behaviors. Organizations like the World Animal Protection and the Humane Society work to promote animal welfare by advocating for better treatment and protection of animals. They raise awareness about issues such as cruelty, habitat loss, and the importance of adopting pets from shelters. By supporting animal welfare, we can help create a more compassionate world for all living beings.
