Animal welfare is the physical and psychological well-being of animals. It is measured by indicators including behavior, physiology, longevity, and reproduction.
The term animal welfare can also mean human concern for animal welfare or a position in a debate on animal ethics and animal rights. This position is measured by attitudes to different types of animal uses.
Systematic concern for animal welfare can be based on awareness that non-human animals are sentient and that consideration should be given to their well-being, especially when they are used by humans. These concerns can include how animals are killed for food, how they are used for scientific research, how they are kept as pets, and how human activities affect the survival of endangered species.
An ancient object of concern in some civilizations, animal welfare began to take a larger place in Western public policy in 19th-century Britain. Today it is a significant focus of interest or activity in veterinary science, in ethics, and in animal welfare organizations.
Brains in bits - Electrodes attached
Crowded in pens - For eggs to hatch
Rabbits don't cry - Mice don't fight
Join the animals - In their plight
The answer is simple
No we're not cripples
You should care
If you fucking dare
The liberators - Got good intentions
But not through violence - Just break their sentence
Peaceful means - Should be used
To show disgust - At animals abused
Free the creatures
God's so called preachers
Let them live
Is that much to give?
Fux fur coats - And seal skin jackets
Look better on animals - Than hanged old faggots
And guts - Death & pain
Needless killing - Cos they're so vain
Stop the culls
More smashed skulls
Just let them live
Or is that much to give
