Freedom from Hunger and Thirst by ready access to fresh water and diet to maintain health and vigor.
Freedom from Discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.
Freedom from Fear and Distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
