Herdsmen’s access to credit funds plays an important supporting role in promoting the modern economic development of pastoral areas and broadening the channels for herders to increase their income. This paper studies the credit behavior of herdsmen from the perspective of emotional and psychological state identification to analyze the current credit behavior of herdsmen. Firstly, the internal mechanism of herdsmen’s credit and emotional and psychological identification research content are analyzed. Secondly, a scheme of emotional and psychological state identification is proposed, and a corresponding survey of herdsmen is carried out according to the scheme. Finally, the Probit and Heckman models are introduced to analyze the credit behavior of herdsmen. The results show that herdsmen with high emotional and psychological scores strongly demand credit. They are likely to have access to credit and have a high level of credit. Herdsmen with low scores of emotional and psychological characteristics have low or no apparent demand for credit, and their credit availability is also low. The herdsmen with high emotional and psychological characteristics have a 71% higher probability of generating credit demand than herdsmen with low openness. Their likelihood of obtaining credit is also 33.47% higher than herdsmen with low emotional and psychological characteristics. They also have easy access to higher loan amounts. The results provide a reference for related research and analysis of herdsman’s credit behavior and economic development.

“…Many survivors of domestic violence (48%) are hesitant to escape their domestic violence environment due to the fact of being concerned about what will happen to their companion animal [ 126 ]. Further, it has been reported that approximately 18–48% of survivors have delayed entering a domestic violence shelter due to the presence of welfare concerns for their companion animals that they had to leave behind [ 47 , 109 , 113 , 121 , 127 ]. As a result, both companion animal and guardian safety and welfare is at risk, as most survivors remain within the domestic violence environment, not wishing to leave their companion animal behind and having limited safe refuge options that accept guardians with companion animals [ 106 , 107 , 128 ].…”

The social determinants of health (SDH) focus on the social, physical and economic factors that impact human health. Studies have revealed that animal guardians face a range of challenges in attaining positive welfare outcomes for their companion animals, which can be influenced by socioeconomic and environmental factors. Despite this, there is a lack of research specifically exploring the relationship between SDH and animal welfare outcomes. Given that the SDH impact on humans, which in turn directly impacts on their companion animal, it is important to adapt an SDH framework for companion animal welfare by characterising the impact of the SDH on companion animal guardians in their attempts to care for their animals and, by extension, the associated welfare outcomes. This paper explores how these human health determinants may impact animal welfare and the possible challenges that may arise for the guardian when attempting to meet their companion animal’s welfare needs. By integrating the SDH with other key frameworks, including the five domains model of animal welfare, through multidisciplinary collaboration, this framework can be used to inform future programs aiming to improve animal welfare.

“…Care and welfare are a major concern when we talk about animals, and much like human healthcare, words can play an important role in outcomes (Valdez, 2021). The perception of animals as being sentient instead of property is directly and positively correlated with their improved treatment (Bagaric et al, 2022; Browning and Veit, 2022; Carlisle-Frank and Frank, 2006; Carlisle-Frank et al, 2004; Veevers, 1985). How individuals conceptualise their relationship with their companion animal (e.g.…”

Shifting attitudes on animal ‘ownership’: Ethical implications for welfare research and practice terminology

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The roles companion animals have played in our lives has dramatically changed over the last few decades. At the same time, the terms we use to describe both the people and animals in these human-animal relationships have also changed. One example includes the use of the terms ‘owner’ or ‘guardian’ to refer to the human caretaker. While preferences by society appear to indicate increased interest in referring to companion animal caretakers as ‘guardians’, others have cautioned against its use or attempted to restrict it. Additionally, the use of animal welfare terminology has direct implications for how we conduct both welfare research and practice. Our paper examines the use of ‘owner’ and ‘guardian’ with respect to (1) the implications for changing terminology on the function, clarity and uniformity of their use, and (2) the ethical and welfare impact that coincides with each term’s use. Our goal is to propose terminological considerations that could influence future welfare research, as well as help guide our interactions with companion animals.
