Instructions


Please order the following hazard items vertically according to their animal welfare implications (pain, distress, suffering) considering also likelyhood and duration of exposure to the hazard.
Practically, judge which hazard you want to spare the animal most and put that above. Repeat this evaluation for every hazard. In case you cannot decide, put the hazards on the same level.

  1. Hold the mouse over an item to see it's detailed description. Percentage and duration assume worst case scenarios.
  2. Please arrange the following hazard items in vertical order, with items of higher severity in terms of animal welfare (i.e. pain, distress, suffering) above those of lower severity, by dragging them with the mouse.
  3. Hazards with equal ranks can be placed on the same line (side by side).
  4. While dragging, the drop position will be highlighted.
