EAZA Animal Welfare Webinar - Heather Bacon - Identifying and managing pain in zoo animals

Pain is a key contributor to poor welfare in zoo animals, and may often be underdiagnosed due to a lack of validated pain assessment methods, or due to misunderstandings in how different species may demonstrate signs of pain. An understanding of signs of pain in zoo species, pain physiology, and the management of different types of pain, is essential to promoting good welfare in zoos. The diversity of species housed in zoos and their unique physiologies and behaviours mean that evidence-based recognition and thus pain is often challenging to adequately recognise and manage in zoo species. This presentation uses case studies and evidence to review the physiology of pain in a variety of species, and identify key ethical and welfare considerations for pain management.
