Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, but
particularly from those in developed countries, who now have the
knowledge and resources to be able to improve the welfare of farm
animals. The increased attention given to farm animal welfare in
the West derives largely from the fact that the relentless pursuit
of ?nancial reward and ef?ciency has led to the development of
intensive animal production systems that disturb the conscience of
many consumers. In developing countries, human survival is still a
daily uncertainty, so that provision for animal welfare has to be
balanced against human welfare. Welfare is usually provided for
only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food, work,
clothing, sport or companionship. In reality there are resources
for all if they are properly husbanded in both developing and
developed countries. The inequitable division of the world's riches
creates physical and psychological poverty for humans and animals
alike in many sectors of the world. Livestock are the world's
biggest land user (FAO, 2002) and the population is increasing
rapidly to meet the need of an expanding human population.
Populations of farm animals managed by humans are therefore incre-
ing worldwide, and in some regions there is a tendency to allocate
fewer resources, such as labour, to each animal with potentially
adverse consequences on the a- mals' welfare.
