The Five Freedoms are:

• Freedom from Discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

• Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

• Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.

• Freedom from Fear and Distress - by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
