It includes where it lives, having enough to it, and the treatment it receives from humans. Since humans impact and control many aspects of the environment, animal welfare is our responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several aspects contribute to good animal welfare and prevent poor living conditions. Depending on a person\u2019s perspective, more or less can be done to maintain proper standards of care and protection. Below, we\u2019ve explored the main actions that could be taken.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Areas Where Animal Welfare Is a Concern<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rules for animal welfare need to be specific to the situations where the animals are found. Human interactions with animals as pets, livestock, and research subjects change the conditions and considerations for maintaining a standard of living.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the categories for tailored approaches include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working animals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wild animals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farm animals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animals used in scientific research<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Captive animals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each situation can provide different stresses, problems with disease, and handling that need specific rules, regulations and oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Federal Laws<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several laws exist at a federal level to set out requirements for animal treatment. Many of these are overseen by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). They give them room to apply and enforce specific regulations. However, actions might also need to be taken at the state level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Animal Welfare Act (AWA)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This federal law sets the minimum standards for the care, treatment, and transportation of animals. It covers animals bred for sale commercially, animals in captivity, and those used in research, teaching, and testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law bans practices such as dog fighting. However, as a federal law, the activities need to cross state lines for enforcement to be possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This law from 2019 makes specific types of animal cruelty a federal crime. Any actions involving sexual activity, burning, crushing, drowning or suffocating are illegal under this act. It includes exemptions for customary agricultural and veterinary practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Endangered Species Act<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This act covers all types of animals, including mammals, birds and plants, and includes plants. Any species listed as threatened or endangered is protected. It sets out the procedures and criminal and civil penalties for violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Lacey Act<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illegal trafficking of wildlife, including animals and plants, is banned under this law. It concerns the transportation, possession and sale of wildlife and the falsification of papers for those purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This law was most recently updated in 1978. It sets out how pain should be minimized during livestock slaughter by stunning the animal. Birds, such as chickens and turkeys, are not covered by this law, though evidence suggests they feel pain in the same way as other animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>State and Local Animal Protection<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each state has its own laws on animal welfare and how to enforce them. All 50 states have a law that makes animal cruelty a felony. Definitions for cruelty and the actions involved differ between states.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Specific Animal Rights Issues<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the federal and state laws, specific issues with animal welfare are coming to light in the US. These concerns revolve around several issues, such as the sale of products using animal fur and the slaughter of cats and dogs for food. Individual federal and state laws are being proposed to address these issues where existing acts don\u2019t prohibit these activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aldf.org\/article\/laws-that-protect-animals\/#:~:text=The%20Animal%20Welfare%20Act%3A%20Signed,like%20those%20in%20puppy%20mills\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/aldf.org\/article\/laws-that-protect-animals\/#:~:text=The%20Animal%20Welfare%20Act%3A%20Signed,like%20those%20in%20puppy%20mills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/home.heinonline.org\/blog\/2020\/12\/the-elephant-in-the-room-animal-welfare-in-the-united-states\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/home.heinonline.org\/blog\/2020\/12\/the-elephant-in-the-room-animal-welfare-in-the-united-states\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/resources\/animal-health-welfare\/animal-welfare-what-it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.avma.org\/resources\/animal-health-welfare\/animal-welfare-what-it<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nal.usda.gov\/animal-health-and-welfare\/animal-welfare-act\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.nal.usda.gov\/animal-health-and-welfare\/animal-welfare-act<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/api.worldanimalprotection.org\/country\/usa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/api.worldanimalprotection.org\/country\/usa<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69e9f5fc9bcd6\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-center\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Promoci\u00f3n 1 voto m\u00e1s cercano\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/456406040?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69e9f5fc9c1e3\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-content vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-top\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop using-bg-color\"  style=\"background-color: #a65bf4; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 4px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Animal Welfare The well-being of nonhuman animals Animal Welfare Animal welfare describes how the living conditions of an animal and the quality of its life.
