The Animal Protection Index (API) was developed by World Animal Protection to provide a systematic and comparative assessment of how governments recognize and protect animal welfare through legislation and public policy. Before the API was introduced, there was no globally accepted framework for comparing national commitments to animal welfare across countries. Although several international organizations, including the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, formerly OIE), had established animal welfare standards, implementation varied considerably. Growing public concern over livestock production, wildlife exploitation, companion animal welfare, scientific experimentation, and ethical treatment of animals created the need for an objective benchmarking tool. The API emerged to encourage governments to strengthen legal frameworks, identify policy gaps, and promote accountability. It also supports researchers, civil society organizations, businesses, and consumers by providing measurable information on national animal welfare commitments. The API is founded on the principle that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, suffering, and positive emotions. Countries are therefore assessed not only on the existence of animal protection laws but also _________ _______ ____ _____ ______ ______.
