Pain is one of the main events that ch allenge animal welfare due to its alterations in the five domains, including the mental state. Because each species perceives and reacts to pain differently, the study of pain in veterinary medicine has focused on using tools that allow it to be recognized quickly and objectively. Ethology is part of these too...
