国际发展组织改善了全球南方数十亿人的生活。然而,在他们的项目和对政府的建议中,这些组织大多忽视动物福利。这个盲点很重要。糟糕的福利标准会危及组织的声誉,特别是捐助者;它们降低了牲畜的寿命和生产力,伤害接受者;它们给动物带来不必要的痛苦和痛苦。这里,我们为国际发展组织制定了动物福利准则。它们是通过利益相关者与组织的广泛接触而开发的,捐助者,和收件人,尤其是在非洲。全面涵盖动物福利,准则包括组织内的治理结构,员工培训,标准操作程序,水,食物,住房,社会孤立,富集,排水和废物处理,疾病,侵入性程序,运输,屠杀,品种,记录保存,以及对成功的监测和评估。我们敦促国际发展组织采用这些指导方针并使之制度化。所以他们提倡良好的动物福利。
International development organisations have improved billions of human lives in the Global South. However, in both their projects and advice to governments, most of these organisations neglect animal welfare. This blindspot matters. Poor welfare standards risk the organisation\'s reputation, particularly with donors; they reduce livestock lifespans and productivity, harming recipients; and they cause animals unnecessary pain and suffering. Here, we set out animal welfare guidelines for international development organisations. They were developed through extensive stakeholder engagement with organisations, donors, and recipients, especially in Africa. To comprehensively cover animal welfare, the guidelines encompass governance structure within the organisation, staff training, standard operating procedures, water, food, housing, social isolation, enrichment, drainage and waste disposal, disease, invasive procedures, transport, slaughter, breeds, record-keeping, and monitoring and evaluation of success. We urge international development organisations to adopt and institutionalise these guidelines, so they promote good animal welfare.
