animal treatment

How beasts fare

Animal treatment refers to how animals are cared for, handled, or regarded by humans.

The phrase appears most often in discussions of ethics and welfare: The documentary exposed the animal treatment at factory farms.

It covers everything from veterinary care and housing conditions to broader questions of cruelty and compassion toward other species.
