Abstract

Animals under human care are exposed to a potentially large range of both familiar and unfamiliar humans. Human-animal interactions vary across settings, and individuals, with the nature of the interaction being affected by a suite of different intrinsic and extrinsic factors. These interactions can be described as positive, negative or neutral. Across some industries, there has been a move towards the development of technologies to support or replace human interactions with animals. Whilst this has many benefits, there can also be challenges associated with increased technology use. A day-long Animal Welfare Research Network workshop was hosted at Harper Adams University, UK, with the aim of bringing together stakeholders and researchers (n = 38) from the companion, farm and zoo animal fields, to discuss benefits, challenges and limitations of human-animal interactions and machine-animal interactions for animals under human care and create a list of future research priorities. The workshop consisted of four talks from experts within these areas, followed by break-out room discussions. This work is the outcome of that workshop. The key recommendations are that approaches to advancing the scientific discipline of machine-animal interactions in animals under human care should focus on: (1) interdisciplinary collaboration; (2) development of validated methods; (3) incorporation of an animal-centred perspective; (4) a focus on promotion of positive animal welfare states (not just avoidance of negative states); and (5) an exploration of ways that machines can support a reduction in the exposure of animals to negative human-animal interactions to reduce negative, and increase positive, experiences for animals.

人类照料的动物中人与动物的互动以及机器与动物的互动:利益相关者和研究人员的看法总结及未来方向。
在人类照料下的动物可能会接触到大量熟悉和陌生的人类。人与动物的互动因环境和个体的不同而不同,互动的性质受到一系列不同的内在和外在因素的影响。这些互动可以被描述为积极、消极或中性。在一些行业中,已经出现了开发技术来支持或替代人类与动物互动的趋势。虽然这样做有很多好处,但技术应用的增加也可能带来挑战。英国哈珀-亚当斯大学举办了为期一天的动物福利研究网络研讨会,旨在汇集来自伴侣动物、农场动物和动物园动物领域的利益相关者和研究人员(n = 38),讨论人与动物互动和机器与动物互动对人类照料下的动物的益处、挑战和局限性,并制定未来研究重点清单。研讨会由这些领域的四位专家发言,随后进行分组讨论。这项工作就是研讨会的成果。研讨会提出的主要建议是,推动人类照料动物中机器与动物互动科学学科发展的方法应侧重于以下方面(1)跨学科合作;(2)开发验证方法;(3)纳入以动物为中心的观点;(4)关注促进积极的动物福利状态(而不仅仅是避免消极状态);以及(5)探索机器可以支持减少动物接触消极的人与动物互动的方式,以减少动物的消极体验,增加动物的积极体验。

期刊介绍: Animal Welfare is an international scientific and technical journal. It publishes the results of peer-reviewed scientific research, technical studies and reviews relating to the welfare of kept animals (eg on farms, in laboratories, zoos and as companions) and of those in the wild whose welfare is compromised by human activities. Papers on related ethical, social, and legal issues and interdisciplinary papers will also be considered for publication. Studies that are derivative or which replicate existing publications will only be considered if they are adequately justified. Papers will only be considered if they bring new knowledge (for research papers), new perspectives (for reviews) or develop new techniques. Papers must have the potential to improve animal welfare, and the way in which they achieve this, or are likely to do so, must be clearly specified in the section on Animal welfare implications.
