The study suggests that those working with wildlife should adopt an adapted version of the internationally recognized Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare, used for captive animals.

It should include:

• Freedom from thirst, hunger and malnutrition caused by humans.

• Freedom from discomfort due to environmental disruption caused by humans.

• Freedom from fear and distress caused by humans.

• Freedom from pain, injury and disease caused by humans.

• Freedom to express normal behaviour for the species.

Beware “Skinny Bitch: “…some of her friends went vegetarian or vegan after reading its information on animals absolves it of all its misogynist tone, sizeism, shaming, perpetuation of stereotypes, reinforcement of cookie-cutter beauty standards, and shameless exploitation of women’s insecurities and fears, some of them damn dangerous” Thank-you, Stephanie Ernst.
Yup, and all sold at the expense of animal rights to promote veganism as the latest trendy diet.
