Z prawnej problematyki dobrostanu zwierząt gospodarskich
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Lipińska, Izabela
The article tackles the issue of farm animals welfare as a constituent factor of animal health protection and an important element of proper management of agricultural production. The starting point for the deliberations is an assumption that each animal is capable of the feeling of suffering and should therefore be treated in a proper way, relevant to its spe-cies and race. In the authoress’ opinion the current legislation ensures animal welfare and covers in a comprehensive manner all respective issues starting from animal maintenance at a farm, through the transporting of animals, to the conditions of their slaughter. Further simplification and harmonisation of the existing legislative norms is nevertheless necessary, as well as formulation of clear principles of support to farmers who satisfy the basic requirements of animal welfare, and to those who maintain standards even higher than prescribed.
