Companion Animals | Livestock | Entertainment & Exhibition | Recreation | Trapping | Research, Teaching & Testing | Wildlife | Exotic Animals | Position Statement: Animals Used for RecreationPosition The Alberta SPCA accepts the use of animals for recreation where there is a standard of care that ensures the welfare of the animals; and protects them from activities, including training, that cause distress or pose a significant risk to their safety and welfare. Rationale The Alberta SPCA believes the responsible use of animals for recreation can provide beneficial experiences for both animals and people; that the pleasure animals bring to our lives is reciprocated when it encourages greater sensitivity to animals' needs and feelings. |
