| Course description |
|
Animal welfare may be misunderstood as welfare for human using animals, such as animal therapy. Animal welfare is also apt to be confused with animal rights, but animal welfare is not necessarily the case of accepting animal’s rights. We have a responsibility to treat captive animals with consideration of welfare. In this course, each type of welfare for various kinds of captive animals, such as livestock, experimental animal, zoo animal, companion animal, working animal, and wild animal in captivity, will be lectured. This is part of the Courses of New Area Science, and its completion is recommended for students in the Department of Biological Production. |
| Expected Learning |
|
You can recognize that there exist many welfare types for each kind of captivity, and understand the concrete way of welfare for these captive animals. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. (URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/) |
