Animals don't have to be raised outdoors to have a happy life. If they're indoor animals, their lives will be greatly enhanced by the presence of "enrichments" -- objects such as perches and nest boxes (for poultry) and hay nests or wallowing pits (for pigs) that allow them to engage in natural behaviors. Think rubber balls for your dog, or laser toys for your cat -- these are enrichments.When animals are allowed to 'be themselves' they enjoy better mental and physical health, and thus less suffering (just ask your pet).“Enrichments” are often referred to on Global Animal Partnership (GAP) labels at Whole Foods and on humane certification labels. Ask farmers you know about the enrichments used on their farms.
