Abstract

All cephalopod molluscs and decapod crustaceans should be regarded as sentient and protected under UK animal welfare law. This is the headline conclusion of this thoughtful report, that is going to have a profound impact on the way these animals are treated within the UK — and likely inform policy elsewhere. In response, the UK government has indicated that they accept this position and will look to/have extended forthcoming animal welfare legislation to include lobsters, octopus and crabs and all other decapod crustaceans and cephalopod molluscs.

头足类软体动物和十足类甲壳类动物知觉证据综述

所有头足类软体动物和十足类甲壳类动物都应被视为有知觉的动物，受到英国动物福利法的保护。这是这份深思熟虑的报告的主要结论，它将对英国对待这些动物的方式产生深远的影响，并可能为其他地方的政策提供信息。作为回应，英国政府表示，他们接受这一立场，并将考虑/已经扩大即将出台的动物福利立法，包括龙虾、章鱼、螃蟹和所有其他十足甲壳类动物和头足类软体动物。

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.
