WSPA Policy 
WSPA assesses the welfare of animals using the Five Freedoms (FAWC 2003): - Freedom from hunger and thirst
- Freedom from discomfort
- Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
- Freedom from fear and distress
- Freedom to express normal behavior
These represent a useful "checklist" to quickly identify situations that compromise good animal welfare - that is, any situation that causes fear, pain, discomfort, injury, disease, or behavioral distress.
