What exactly is animal welfare?

What exactly is animal welfare?

It's regulations for the well-being of animals, such as regulations of cage sizes or how much they are allowed to be outdoors, and if they are allowed to engage in their natural behaviors. And so on.

I like it, but we should add something like "The government requires all animals to be held in the cheapest way possible, without any regard for the animals' well-being" or something. It's always nice to have a really bad option.

Added.
But maybe then we should specify the law as concerning animals used in livestock farming, not pets?

That would probably be a good idea.

This looks good, hope it gets implemented.
