Values

It promotes Five Basic Freedoms specifically for animals and generally for all living beings. FIAPO promotes peace as an alternative solution to the notion held by any culture, custom or religion that animals are property of humanity which can be used by humanity as commodities, labourers or as natural, harvest-able resources. *Freedom from Hunger and Thirst: by Providing access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour. *Freedom from Discomfort: by providing an appropriate shelter and resting area. *Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease: by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment. *Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour: by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind. *Freedom from Fear and Distress: by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
