Human Relationships with Domestic and Other Animals: One Health, One Welfare, One Biology.
Abstract: Excessive human population growth, uncontrolled use of natural resources, including deforestation, mining, wasteful systems, biodiversity reduction by agriculture, and damaging climate change affect the existence of all animals, including humans. This discussion is now urgent and people are rethinking their links with the animals we use for clothing, food, work, companionship, entertainment, and research. The concepts of one health, one welfare, and one biology are discussed as a background to driving global change. Nothing should be exploited without considering the ethics of the action and the consequences. This review concerns domesticated animals, including those used for human consumption of meat, eggs, and milk; horses kept for work; and dogs kept for company. Animal welfare includes health, emotional state, and comfort while moving and resting, and is affected by possibilities to show behavior and relationships with others of the same species or with humans. We show some examples of the relations between humans and domesticated animals in the environmental context, including zoonotic diseases, and consider the consequences and the new paradigms resulting from current awareness.

Summary
This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.
The research article explores the pressing issue of human overpopulation and its detrimental impact on natural resources, ultimately affecting the existence of all animal species. The concepts of One Health, One Welfare, and One Biology are investigated as potential solutions. Furthermore, the article elaborates on domesticated animals’ welfare in terms of health, emotional state, comfort, and behavioral freedom.
One Health, One Welfare, One Biology
- This refers to exploring a unified approach in understanding and stewarding the health and welfare of all animals and the environment.
- These concepts are increasingly used to frame discussions about how humans coordinate and implement measures to manage, protect and increase the welfare of all species.
Human Overpopulation and Exploitation of Resources
- The research articulates the burgeoning human population being a significant contributor to the unabated utilization and eventual degradation of natural resources.
- This includes activities such as deforestation, mining, reckless systems that are wasteful and damage the climate.
- Such actions can detrimentally affect the survival of all animal species, including humans, warranting an immediate and crucial discussion on the aforementioned topics.
Impact on Domesticated Animals
- Domestic animals’ welfare is notably dependent on their health, mental state, comfort during mobility and rest phases, and the opportunities they get to display instinctive behavior and interact with members of their own species or humans.
- This study focuses specifically on domesticated animals like those raised for human consumption (meat, eggs, milk), workhorses and companion dogs.
Environmental Context
- The investigation provides specific instances of human and domestic animal relationships situated within environmental contexts.
- This includes exploring the impact of zoonotic diseases and pondering the outcomes and novel paradigms arising from the current global awareness.
Ethical Consideration and Consequences
- The review emphasizes that nothing – animals and resources alike – should be exploited without assessing the ethics of such actions and anticipating their potential repercussions.
