-a beagle in a lab would have shelter,there is no guarantee it is comfortable though.
-it would have access to food & water the nutrition of which might even be part of the testing its is involved in.
- its health would be monitored, and so provided medical care of sorts, again, this would all depend on what it is the test subject of.
-it would not have the freedom to express its natural behaviour
-it would not have freedom from fear and distress as this would be an unhealthy environment for a wee hound.
-thats how i see it, theres access to a few of the 5 freedoms, although flawed and some of the 5 freedoms denied.
when we look at a wild wolf, we can see that it can it can express natural behaviour to its full extent how even it is not free from discomfort, pain/injury/disease and fear and distress. However, as it has grown up in this environment, it is hard to say what would be considered as discomfort, fear and distress.
A Laboratory Beagle
Should have access to food and water. Would have shelter, but might not be free from discomfort if the area is too small or not comfortable. Wouldn't have the freedom to show normal behaviour or be free from fear and distress or pain.
Laboratory beagle would not be free from discomfort, fear, or distress, and would not be able to express normal behaviour, but would most likely always be free from hunger and thirst
Wild wolf would be able to express normal behaviour, but theres always other wolves/predator to induce fear/distress/injury etc, and it would not always be free from hunger or thirst
A dog with a medical condition, hospitalised for 2 weeks
- Does not have the freedom to express normal behaviour, as it is most likely in a cage/crate or pen and not in its normal environment which it feels most comfortable in, also limited space.
- May or may not have freedom from discomfort. It depends what its medical condition is and if pain relief/ other treatments can and are being used.
- Maybe doesn't have freedom from pain, injury, or disease, but does presumably have protection from/rapid diagnosis of/ significant injury or disease.
- Is most likely distressed and scared, but presumably the staff at the veterinary clinic are handling the dog in a way that minimises this.
An indoor/outdoor cat will achieve all 5 freedoms. He has shelter, considering it says indoor. it will have access to food and water. It will have the freedom to show natural behaviours as it has the freedom to access inside and outside. It must have a family that cares for it so it will be free from pain and discomfort
