What is Animal Welfare?
Animal welfare encompasses all animals’ overall well-being, encompassing their physical and emotional health. It is often influenced by the environment in which the animals live and work, human practices, and the resources available to the animals.
Our animal clinic care about the general health of the animals by ensuring a sustainable life.
Animal Welfare Act
The Animal Welfare Act in Kenya is a crucial legal requirement that ensures every animal leads a sustainable life. It encompasses animal rights that dictate how an animal should be cared for, managed, and used correctly. This places animal welfare responsibilities on every animal owner and veterinarian. Here are some of the essential obligations:
- Meet physical, health, and behavioral animal needs
- Ensure sick/injured are treated or humanely killed
- Mercy killing animals in unnecessary pain and distress
- Don’t sell an animal when in pain or distress
- Providing for all the needs of your animal
- Don’t ill-treat animals (physical and mental abuse)
