人間社会における動物の5つのカテゴリー

■２ 産業動物／食物やその他の資源として利用する対象

■３ 実験動物／多くは”生きた試薬”として扱われる対象

■４ 動物園動物／日常では目にすることができない様々な動物を目にすることで、楽しむことに加え、生き物やそれが生息する環境への眼差しを学ぶ対象

■５ 野生動物／野生動物は、人とは関わりを持たない動物と捉えることがあるが、人から一切かけ離れて存在する生き物も自然も原則最早存在しない。その意味で、野生動物もまた人と関わりを持つ対象と捉えられる

Based on their specific relationship with humans, animals can be broadly divided into five categories.　The first is the pet/companion animals. They are objects of compassion and relief.　The second is industrial animals. They are used for food and other resources.　The third category is laboratory animals. Most of them are treated as "live reagents".　The fourth category is zoo animals. In addition to the enjoyment of seeing various animals that you cannot see in your daily life, the animals are the objectives for learning how to look at living things and the environment they live in.　The fourth category is zoo animals. In addition to the enjoyment of seeing a variety of animals that cannot be seen in daily life, visitors can also learn about animals and It is an object of study to learn to look at the environment it inhabits.　Finally, there are wild animals. Wild animals are often thought of as animals that have no relationship to humans. However, in reality, there is no creature or nature that exists apart from humans. In hence, wild animals can also be related to humans.This organization will consider any of the animals without focusing on any category. We also aim to reexamine the relationship between animals and humans and learn how to develop a better relationship.

1: Webinar: Animal Happiness Theory
Each session is based on a different topic and considers the well-being of animals. The seminar consists of three parts: a lecture, a discussion between speakers and session coordinators, and Answers to audience questions. Participants will not only listen, but also participate in the discussions to gain a deeper understanding. The videos videos of the seminars are archived and can be viewed again later for deeper learning.

2: Database

To build a database of literature and video materials in various areas related to animal welfare. For many Japanese people, language is a major barrier to understanding information from abroad. We have included explanations in Japanese to break down the language barrier and make it possible for people to come into contact with the latest knowledge from overseas.　In addition, a QA page has been created to answer various questions and resolve obstacles that arise during daily interaction with animals.  We will compile a database of these information and create a "dictionary of animal welfare.
In addition, a QA page has been created to answer various questions and resolve obstacles that arise during daily interaction with animals.  We will compiled these into a database and create an "Encyclopedia of Animal Welfare Practices".

3: Licensing system

We establish our own Animal Welfare License System. There are three levels of licenses: Novice, Advisor and Consultant. In order to receive the license, you are required to attend an intensive seminar.　In Japan, the concept of animal welfare has not yet become popular. On the other hand, individuals and companies that work with animals have begun to take an interest in animal welfare .The license system is designed to equip people with the theoretical and practical skills to promote the practice of animal welfare in their own setting. This license system fosters human resources to make animal welfare more accessible.
