"Exotic animals such as reptiles, parrots, or small primates are kept as pets. Owners may lack experience in meeting their complex needs. These animals may be imported from the wild or bred in captivity. Demand for these pets can impact wild populations."

"Deer, foxes, or other wildlife may be culled to protect crops, reduce disease, or manage populations in certain areas. Decisions are made by government authorities, farmers, or conservation bodies. Non-lethal alternatives exist but may not always be practical."

🐔 Example – Factory Farming of Chickens

Human needs:

Affordable source of protein for a growing population

Employment and income for farmers, processors, and supply chain workers

Food security at national and global levels

Animal welfare concerns:

High stocking density → overcrowding, stress, aggression

Limited ability to perform natural behaviours (e.g., dustbathing, foraging, perching)

Health issues: lameness, rapid growth, respiratory problems

Beak trimming to prevent injurious pecking

Possible compromises/solutions:

Improved housing design (lower stocking density, enrichment, perches)

Breeding for slower-growing strains to reduce health issues

Certification schemes (e.g., RSPCA Assured, free-range labels) to balance welfare with consumer demand

Encouraging consumers to pay slightly more for higher-welfare products

Key stakeholders:

Farmers and agricultural workers

Food retailers and consumers

Animal welfare organisations (e.g., RSPCA, Compassion in World Farming)

Policy makers and regulators (e.g., DEFRA, EU, FAO)

The chickens themselves as sentient beings

kept in unnatural conditions, unable to express natural behaviour. Handlers use aversive tools such as bull hooks to control them

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of space inhibits natural walking behaviour

# data[].attributes.body
Unnecessary training, it’s for human welfare and entertainment. Not enough care or thought into animal welfare

# data[].attributes.body
Very reliant on tourism to keep economic help

# data[].attributes.body
gives local communities income and brings in tourists

# data[].attributes.body
Not enough knowledge on long term effects of dealing with captivity

Human need for entertainment more important than the welfare of the animal, possible compromise could be important information about housing could be taught before purchase of the animal.

animals are at risk of injury and poor health if owners are not fully aware of their needs

# data[].attributes.body
They are trained from a young age and the remember it till adult hood leading to them being able to be tied to a post due to their child hood trauma

# data[].attributes.body
Risk of injury to both animal and human. Elephants are still wild and cannot fully be tamed

Lack of understanding/knowledge in the caretaker

Human needs - experiences, employment

Welfare concerns - 5 needs aren't being met.

Possible compromises - have a space the elephants can exhibit natural behaviours, not open to the public 24/7. Let them come to the humans not humans to them.

Once they are no longer useful to tourism they are discarded and have to be rescued by others.

Compromise to the overall workings of the ecosystem by removing a species

# data[].attributes.body
Owners might not know proper enrichment/environment.

Should do proper research before owning these types of pets.

affecting the ecosystem as a whole by killing off one species , domino affect on other species and organisms

# data[].attributes.body
Humans restrict the animals in food and clean water and when they try to go to where it is they usually get scared off by the dangerous humans and then the humans kill then off so that the ones that survive can try to get their food from the wild instead of the human locations
