Abstract
Animal welfare as I have observed, is perceived by some, if not most Zambians (both veterinary practitioners and non-vets), to be basically a foreign concept, particularly of the western world. It is regarded as a concern for only the rich and the modern thus, inappropriate and/or unapplicable to the local African (Zambian) traditional context.
