Understanding Farmed Animal Agency
Agency refers to the capacity of living beings to engage with their environment and make choices based on their preferences and needs. Farmed animals express their agency through various behaviors, such as social interactions or seeking comfort. Recognizing and supporting this agency is essential for fostering the emotional and physical well-being of animals in sanctuaries. When animal agency is acknowledged, it not only enhances their quality of life but also emphasizes the responsibility of caregivers to respect and nurture these expressions of autonomy.
