Abstract:
GUIDELINES RATIONALE: Cats are among the most commonly kept domestic pets, and coexist with humans in a variety of different circumstances. Cats are sentient beings and, as such, humans have a responsibility for cat welfare where humans and cats coexist. Because cats reproduce efficiently, measures to control populations are frequently needed, but these should be based on ethical and humane approaches.
METHODS: These consensus guidelines from the International Society of Feline Medicine\'s Welfare Advisory Panel provide a framework for the approach to welfare and population control measures, primarily among unowned cats and those going through a homing programme.
摘要:
准则理由:猫是最常饲养的家养宠物之一,并在各种不同的环境中与人类共存。猫是有感情的生物,因此,在人类和猫共存的情况下,人类对猫的福利负有责任。因为猫的繁殖效率很高,经常需要控制人口的措施,但是这些应该基于道德和人道的方法。
方法:国际猫科动物学会福利咨询小组的共识指南为福利和人口控制措施的方法提供了框架,主要是在没有饲养的猫和那些正在进行归巢计划的猫中。
