🌿 Animal-Wellbeing in Open Science

Enhancing the Quality of Life of Pets and Supporting Animal Lovers — through Open Research, Shared Knowledge, and Compassionate Science.

🐾 Introduction

Companion animals nurture our physical, emotional, and social well-being. Yet, ensuring their happiness, safety, and care remains a global challenge. The Animal-Wellbeing in Open Science initiative aims to combine open research, collaboration, and empathy to improve the lives of pets and empower their caretakers.

Through shared knowledge and compassion-driven innovation, we address issues from veterinary access and emotional health to welfare laws and cultural barriers — ensuring every animal lives with love and dignity.

• 🩺 Listening to Their Well-Being: Understanding emotions and comfort in animals remains difficult yet essential for true welfare.
• 💉 Struggle for Veterinary Care: High costs and limited access keep many pets from receiving timely medical attention.
• 🧸 Need for Play & Enrichment: Lack of stimulation causes stress and behavioral issues. Play builds trust and emotional balance.
• ⚖️ Weak Laws & Cultural Barriers: Insufficient legal protections and outdated attitudes often lead to neglect and cruelty.
• 🏚️ Stray & Shelter Struggles: Overcrowded shelters and lack of funds make humane care a growing challenge worldwide.
• 💰 Barriers of Money & Awareness: Limited education and financial hardship prevent access to quality care and nutrition.
