Our mission is to promote animal welfare through science-based information and education to advance socially responsible decisions concerning animal care. Our goal is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations in order to identify animal welfare challenges, strategies to alleviate them, and education to aid implementation.
CAWS is supported jointly by the Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine.
A legacy of excellence
Our vision for the future
The issue of how to address the welfare of animals while also taking care of the diverse range of people and environmental impacts that interact with and are dependent on them is significant and requires collaborative, multi-disciplinary problem-solving.
