Vigilance and good stockmanship are vital in the fight against animal disease. Monitoring animals for signs of disease, and following good farming practices are essential ways of reducing the risk of disease and preventing the spread of disease during an outbreak.
Defra’s Give Disease the Boot campaign provides livestock owners and veterinarians with information on a range of diseases and advice on how best to protect the health of their animals and the health of the farming industry.
This is your gateway to information on animal disease - what you can do to minimise the risk and information on the diseases you must report.
We cause our wild neighbors far more trouble than they cause us, as each day we invade thousands of acres of their territory and destroy their homes. Here are some simple tips for living in harmony with our wild friends.
• If a bird is trapped inside your house, wait until dark, then open a window and put a light outside of it. Turn out all house lights—the bird should fly out toward the light.
• Cap your chimney. When birds sit on top of a chimney for warmth, they can inhale toxic fumes; they may also fall in and die.
• Deny mice and rats access to food in your home—this is the best way to discourage them from taking up residence. Store all food in airtight, rodent-proof containers. If you must trap an occasional rodent, use a cruelty-free live trap made for this purpose. If the trap is plastic, make sure it has air holes, and check it frequently, at least every hour.
• Take care with trash.
• Rinse out each can, put the top inside so it can’t slice a tongue, and crush the open end of the can as flat as possible.
• Recycle paper, metal, and glass whenever possible.
• Cut open one side of empty cardboard and plastic containers so squirrels and other small animals cannot get their faces or heads trapped in them.
• Drop pop-tops into empties so they cannot slit an animal’s mouth or throat.
• Cut apart all sections of plastic six-pack rings, including the inner diamonds.
• Choose paper bags at the grocery store.
But caring for our best friends isn’t as simple as just filling their food bowls and taking them to the veterinarian when they’re sick. Bringing an animal companion into our lives is a big responsibility—one that means making a lifetime commitment (which could be 15 years or more, depending on the animal) to provide them with exercise, training, grooming, food, veterinary care, and, of course, plenty of love and attention.

Animal welfare refers to the viewpoint that it is morally acceptable for humans to use non-human animals for food, in animal research, as clothing, and in entertainment, so long as unnecessary suffering is avoided. The position is contrasted with the animal rights position, which holds that other animals should not be used by, or regarded as the property of, humans.
