Abstract

Minimising animal health issues, compared to promoting the expression of naturalbehaviours, has a greater impact on how UK public judge farm animal well-being. However, animalwell-being is judged to be best when both health and natural behaviours are considered.Individuals with a greater belief in animal mind, along with vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians,place more importance on animals being able to express natural behaviours.
