Declaration on Animal Sentience in AAS
IAHAIO has published the Declaration on Animal Sentience in Animal-Assisted Services (AAS), which highlights the ethical responsibility to recognize animals as sentient beings capable of experiencing and responding to the world around them.
The declaration emphasizes that animals involved in AAS are active participants, not passive tools, and that their welfare, preferences, and ability to choose or withdraw from interactions must be respected.
