Key ideas Current scenario and environmental stress Why animal welfare scientist and wildlife managers are not working together? New and old approaches for applied animal welfare and wildlife management

Examples of such concerns: Considering that wildlife management requires the intentional of species animal welfare concerns vary depending on the degree and kinds of intervention. Examples of such concerns: Control of wildlife may involve inhumane methods of culling that cause a lot of suffering before death; Euthanasia for disease control; Capturing for collaring and sampling for conservation; Translocations; Wildlife trade and farming or hunting for sustainable use.

  Reduction is a priority when endangered species are the subject and also refinement of capture techniques to avoid negative effect on the individuals that composes a population. Refining methods for sustainable use and control also should play a major role and requires new approaches to innovate in the way that culling is conducted. Replacement of more invasive methods like radiocollaring by camera traps and indirect signs should also be promoted to study occupancy and the biology of endangered species
