• In this chapter, the need for scientific study of stress and welfare is explained. The imprecise use of terms, especially stress, is described and reasons for some of the problems in understanding the concepts are discussed. It is argued that there is a requirement for further analysis of the concepts, and especially careful synthesis of current ideas. The use of the terms stress and welfare is clarified by deriving definitions for them related to the functioning and efficacy of the biological systems that animals use to regulate their lives and deal with difficulties. These systems include a wide range of biological components including the feelings of the animals. Terms defined include: animal, welfare, coping, health, stress and domestication. Attitudes to the animals that humans use and views about the treatment of such animals are considered. Major recent changes in ideas about genetic and environmental influences on humans and other animals are explained.
