I’m going to talk about Animal Welfare.

What is Animal Welfare?? I explain to easier.

It is「Animals must be able to engage in their natural behaviors from birth to death and be happy.」Animal welfare is many have issues for all over the world. Japan has a little slower start on this issue compare to other countries. UK, US and other countries gets to work quickly, and each person is aware.

How can this issue be better improved?

There are several problems with animal welfare.

First, the standards are different in each country, so opinions on what’s “good” for animals vary a lot.

Also, creating a comfortable environment costs money, which makes it hard to balance with production efficiency.

Another issue is that many consumers aren’t very aware of animal welfare yet, and in some countries, the laws and monitoring systems are still weak.

In Japan, many people still buy pets from pet shops, but some of those animals come from breeding factories where they are not treated well. I think adopting pets from shelters is a better choice. Also, many clothes are made from animal materials like fur or leather, which often causes animals to suffer. Today, more brands use fake fur or vegan leather to protect animals. I believe we should all try to make kinder choices for animals.

Animal welfare is difficult for people who work in livestock farming.

Improving animal welfare costs a lot of money and time.

Farmers need to give animals more space, better food, and cleaner living conditions.

For small farmers, these changes can be very hard and expensive.

They also need to make enough profit to live, so finding a balance between business and animal care is not easy.

However, I think society should help farmers who try to treat animals better.

If we all work together, we can make both animals and farmers happy.

There is no SDG that directly addresses animal welfare. However, several goals are indirectly related.

Goal 12, "Responsible Consumption and Production," relates to ethical responsibility in production processes. Goals 14, "Life Below Water," and 15, "Life on Land," aim to protect biodiversity, including animals.

Furthermore, since intensive livestock farming is predicated on mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal, it relates to Goal 2: Zero Hunger. Treating animals as objects without consideration for animal welfare causes psychological harm to workers, linking it to Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
