Respect for animal welfare is often based on the belief that nonhuman animals are sentient and that consideration should be given to their well being or suffering, especially when they are under the care of humans. These concerns can include how animals are slaughtered for food, how they are used in scientific research, how they are kept (as pets, in zoos, farms, circuses, etc.), and how human activities affect the welfare and survival of wild species.

There are two forms of criticism of the concept of animal welfare, coming from diametrically opposite positions. One view, held by some thinkers in history, holds that humans have no duties of any kind to animals. The other view is based on the animal rights position that animals should not be regarded as property and any use of animals by humans is unacceptable. Accordingly, some animal rights proponents argue that the perception of better animal welfare facilitates continued and increased exploitation of animals. Some authorities therefore treat animal welfare and animal rights as two opposing positions. Others see animal welfare gains as incremental steps towards animal rights.

The predominant view of modern neuroscientist, not with standing philosophical problems with the difenation  of consciences even in humans, is that consciences exist in nonhuman animals. However, some still maintain that consciousness is a philosophical question that may never be scientifically resolved.

Prevention of diseases during animal movement

Observation of the following steps by various 

stakeholders such as farmers, herdsmen, consumers, 

traders, local governments, etc., can go a long way in 

prevention of diseases during movement of animals. 

(i) Movement of animals from one location to another, 

within country and between countries is recorded.

(ii) Only legal movement is permitted. In our country, 

a large percentage of animals and their products 

are illegally transported.

(iii) Borders of adjoining countries are fenced to avoid 

illegal and unquarantined entry of animals.

(iv) All new animals undergo quarantine check-up. 

Quarantine rules require that the animals are 

isolated and closely watched for 14 days to rule out 

diseases and if animals are found infected, they 

are denied entry.

(v) Only disease-free and vaccinated animals are 

allowed to enter new areas. To achieve this end, 

European countries have introduced health cards 

for individual animals.

Methods for tracking animal movements

Recording of animal movements can be achieved by a 

combination of the following methods—

(i) Through check posts: Interstate and inter-country 

movement of livestock are recorded at the check 

posts.

(ii) Through GIS (Geographical Information System): GIS 

is a cost effective and accurate system of recording animal movements and can be adopted by most nations where mass movement of livestock takes place. 

(iii) Tracking pastoral routes: Movement due to pastoralism can be tracked and recorded. 

The interrelatedness of animals’ movement and their tracking for minimising spread of animal diseases is therefore required to be carefully taken note of. The major methods for controlling spread of diseases due to movement of animals are The major methods of tracking of animal movement
