Animal Protection Around The World: Who Ranks Best and Worst?

Описание: The Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index (VACI), ranks 50 of the world’s largest livestock producing countries based on the nature, extent and severity of farmed animal cruelty, whilst also considering the quality of animal protection laws within each jurisdiction. In addition to countries receiving an overall cruelty ranking, the VACI also ranks countries for three separate categories: Producing, Consuming and Sanctioning cruelty.

In this 6-minute video, we explore how the VACI evaluates three countries with varying rankings: Australia – the worst performer alongside Belarus of all 50 countries, France – a moderate performer, and India – the top performer overall.

This video is part of the Voiceless Comparing Cruelty Animal Protection Education (APE) toolkit, providing teachers with a suite of classroom ready resources to introduce how animal cruelty can be measured and compared between countries. The Comparing Cruelty APE gives students the opportunity to think critically about what constitutes animal cruelty. By comparing animal welfare laws in addition to the production and consumption of animal products, students are able to critically evaluate the ways in which individual countries may contribute to farmed animal cruelty.

Voiceless encourages critical thinking, discussion and healthy debate. The video contains no graphic footage and is suitable for use in all high school classrooms for all ages and countries.
