This webinar explains the difference between animal welfare and ethics, comparing the Five Freedoms and Five Domains models, and looks at common welfare and ethical issues such as cruelty and neglect, selective breeding, animal tourism and pest management. It sets out our legal obligations across local, state and federal government, including duty of care and how to report notifiable diseases and suspected cruelty or neglect.
It then works through ethical dilemmas that come up in practice, with cases on wildlife, unowned animals, euthanasia, owner decisions, financial constraints and biosecurity regulations. It finishes with maintaining professionalism, including social media and client conflict, and looking after yourself as an ethical nurse.
Presented by Kayleigh Williams at the 2023 ACVN Nurse Conference.
