The five freedoms as currently expressed Animals contribute to society and GDP in many ways that are entwined Good animal welfare policy and a credible animal protection system contributes to a stable business environment Humans have a moral obligation to animals 1. Freedom from hunger or thirst 2. Freedom from discomfort 3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease 4. Freedom to express (most) normal behaviour 5. Freedom from fear and distress (Brambell, 1965) Animal welfare is about the animal How an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives. An animal is in a good state of welfare if (as indicated by scientific evidence) it is healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express innate behaviour, and if it is not suffering from unpleasant states such as pain, fear, and distress. (OIE, Terrestrial Animal Health Code). 5

APA - Prohibition against causing distress 1) No person shall cause or permit an animal of which the person is the owner or the person in charge to be or to continue to be in distress. 2) This section does not apply if the distress results from an activity carried on in accordance with the regulations or in accordance with reasonable and generally accepted practices of animal care, management, husbandry, hunting, fishing, trapping, pest control or slaughter. 9 AB s animal protection system AB s animal protection system challenges CRIMINAL CODE Public Safety / Social Justice RCMP / Municipal Police ANIMAL PROTECTION ACT Protecting Animals RCMP / Municipal Police / Peace Officers INDUSTRY Codes / Standards Opportunity / Markets Complaint driven process limited inspection power within the Animal Protection Act CRUELTY DISTRESS VIGOR social control (minimum expectation / requirement) Tools for animal protection: Prevention Enforcement Remove the distress (provide animal care) Costs of care and/or seizure Mandatory reporting Administrative orders / penalties Prohibitions Punishments social license (exceeds expectations) Consistent application of the law & consistent penalties standards multiple expectations livelihood vs companion AF only has oversight of one agency - SPCA
