Animal welfare is the well-being of animals.

The standards of "good" animal welfare vary considerably between different contexts.

These standards are under constant review and are debated, created and revised by animal welfare groups, legislators and academics worldwide.

Animal welfare science uses various measures, such as longevity, disease, immunosuppression, behavior, physiology, and reproduction, although there is debate about which of these indicators provide the best information.

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

Happy mental states may also reflect judgements by a person about their overall well-being.

A variety of biological, psychological, economic, religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.

Various research groups, including positive psychology and happiness economics are employing the scientific method to research questions about what "happiness" is, and how it might be attained.

In a social context, trust has several connotations.

Definitions of trust typically refer to a situation characterized by the following aspects: One party (trustor) is willing to rely on the actions of another party (trustee); the situation is directed to the future.

In addition, the trustor (voluntarily or forcedly) abandons control over the actions performed by the trustee.

As a consequence, the trustor is uncertain about the outcome of the other's actions; they can only develop and evaluate expectations.

The uncertainty involves the risk of failure or harm to the trustor if the trustee will not behave as desired.

Vladimir Ilych Lenin expressed this idea with the sentence "Trust is good, control is better".

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, sport animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.
