L’élevage intensif amplifie la douleur des animaux bien au-delà des estimations | Les lieux confinés désactivent les défenses des bêtes contre la douleur, selon une étude. Les protocoles vétérinaires actuels sous-estimeraient donc la souffrance réelle des animaux.

La souffrance animale en élevage intensif serait bien plus grave qu’estimé. C’est le constat d’une vaste revue scientifique internationale publiée par «Frontiers in Animal Science». Six institutions, dont les universités de Bristol et de Reading, ont contribué à ces travaux, qui compilent des décennies de données en neurosciences, immunologie et médecine vétérinaire.

Leur conclusion, relayée par «Science & Vie», est claire: les environnements appauvris ne se contentent pas de restreindre les animaux. Ils modifient en profondeur leur biologie de la douleur.

Don’t reach for the bug spray: scientists find insects may feel pain after crickets nurse sore antennae. The behavioural cue of ‘flexible self-protection’ is a way to establish whether an animal feels pain, scientists say.

As billions of crickets are farmed for food, new evidence suggests they may feel pain. A study found "site-directed" grooming after injury, a flexible behavior beyond simple reflexes that raises urgent questions about insect suffering and the need for welfare standards in the industry.
