The right to a safe life should be guaranteed to not only humans, but also animals. Animal rights activists have fought for humane rights for farm and wildlife animals. For years, protection for many animals living on farms and among the wild has been held by the government or corporations.

Certain Science-based standards include treating the animal according to its habitat. This standard means that the farm or place where the animal is kept will reenact normal living standards as seen in the wild for that specific animal. Most non science-based standards include common knowledge of the animal such as the dietary habits of the animal.Over the years, NGOs have gathered together to create ICFAW (The International Coalition for Farm Animal Welfare). This coalition was formed to represent the interests of NGOs and the opinions, comments and information from these animal welfare organizations will be indicative of the OIE decision-making process. However, after beginning to join in protecting animal welfare, views from multiple NGOs varied, many different ways depending on the area of which they are from. The main three continents and country that seemed to have many NGOs and different views on animal welfare was Africa, United States, and Europe. South Africa fought heavily on delaying any animal welfare until the country becomes better developed and the education problem becomes fixed. However, with the United States being a developed country and having an impressive education system, their problem lies with consolidation. Consolidation is overcrowding in a farming sense, and it can cause disease
