Abstract:
The humaneness of a particular pest animal control method refers to the overall welfare impact that the method has on an individual animal.The aim of this project is to define a model for assessing the welfare impact of pest animal control methods. The main purpose of the model is to allow the comparison of distinctly different techniques, so that the most humane method to be used in any particular situation can be identified
