Animal protection is an issue that takes on ever greater importance in today’s society. New expert findings and increasing general public interest are being projected into stricter requirements on the quality of living conditions of animals and their specialist assessment. Such specialist assessment and implementation of desired conditions of animal life requires specialist with university education in animal protection and welfare. It has become apparent that in order to assure adequate knowledge and experience of graduates acting as veterinary inspectors overseeing protection of animals against cruelty it is necessary to gather all the information into a specialized course. The existence of a separate course on the Animal Protection and Welfare in study programmes of veterinary faculties and high quality of instruction are basic prerequisites for improvement in the protection of both farm, companion, wild and laboratory animals in the future.
