OUR COMMITMENT FIVE FREEDOMS
TO RESPONSIBLE ANIMAL INTERACTIONS

Asian Trails ensures that the internationally-recognized ‘Five Freedoms’ are being practiced by our partners offering activities involving interactions with animals. The ‘Five Freedoms’ outline five standards of care that affirm every living being’s right to fair and humane treatment: • • • •
•
Freedom from hunger and thirst – a healthy diet and access to fresh water Freedom from discomfort – safe, comfortable and spacious shelter Freedom from pain, injury and disease – the provision of healthy living conditions and regular health checks with treatment Freedom to behave normally – opportunities to interact with animals’ own kind and positive relationships with humans Freedom from fear and distress – an environment free from mental suffering and the ability to seek privacy/refuge
