Our work is based on the animal welfare position.  

Farm Animal Welfare Council, UK (FAWC) has developed the concept of FIVE FREEDOMS which form the basis for animal welfare:

1. Freedom from HUNGER and THIRST
by ready acceess to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.

2. Freedom from DISCOMFORT
by providing and appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

3. Freedom from PAIN, INJURY and DISEASE
by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4. Freedom from FEAR and DISTRESS
by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

5. Freedom to express NORMAL BEHAVIOUR
by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animals` own kind.
