A welfarist says: make the tank bigger and add toys. A rights advocate says: close the dolphinarium. The next frontier is legal personhood for specific species

At its core, animal welfare is a scientific and pragmatic standard. It accepts the premise that humans will use animals for food, research, entertainment, and labor. However, it demands that during this use, the animal experiences a reduction in suffering and a standard of living that meets its physical and mental needs. Example of Welfare in Action: A dairy farm

The "Five Freedoms," developed by the British Farm Animal Welfare Council in 1965, remain the gold standard for welfare:

Example of Welfare in Action: A dairy farm that keeps cows in open pastures with shelter, provides veterinary care, uses humane slaughter methods, but still separates calves from mothers for milk production. The cow’s physical suffering is minimized, but its "use" is not questioned.
