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 offer the b est management
systems for their farm animals, as well as potentially being able
to offer plentiful resources for companion, zoo and laboratory
animals. The increased attention given to animal welfare in the
West derives la rgely from the fact that the relentless pursuit of
financial reward and efficiency has lead to the development of
intensive animal production systems that offend the conscience of
many consumers in those countries. In devel oping countries, human
survival is still a daily uncertainty, so that provision fo r
animal welfare has to be balanced against human welfare. Welfare is
usua lly 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 all sectors of the world. Liv estock
are the world s biggest land user (FAO, 2002) and the population,
particularly of monogastric animals, is increasing rapidly to meet
the need of an expanding human population. Populations of animals
managed by humans are therefore increasing worldwide, so there is
the tendency to allocate fewer resources to each one."
