| Summary: | The society's worry about the well-being of pets, domestic, guard, test and zoo animals has sharply risen in the past decades. The main problems harming animals kept as pets are anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism common among pet-owners. Although discussion about the quality of life a pet-owner must provide for his pets is not finished, the consensus is that an animal must be afforded as natural a lifestyle as possible, has to be kept from enduring and strong negative emotions (fear, pain, etc.), being offered at the same time a maximum of natural pleasures and ensuring satisfactory health and growth as well as normal functioning of physiological and behavioural systems. The article introduces methods used for studying choices animals make. |
