Animal Protection is the act of protecting animals or state of animals being protected. It is considered a relatively culturally neutral term for positive attitudes towards animals. Studies suggest it means different things in different parts of the world and it can mean animal welfare, animal rights, wildlife conservation, respect animals or other things in different context. Therefore it does not totally equal to animal welfare or animal rights. Dr Jenia Meng reported in her book that the results of 'Global Attitude to Animals Survey 2007/08' suggest the definitions for animal protection consists of the following components in the participating nations.<ref name="results"/> Below are the nations and their components of animal protection (listed in descending order of relevance, the left most component is the most relevent) China (Mainland): animal experimentation, wildlife protection, anti-cruelty Czech Republic: anti-cruelty, animal experimentation, wildlife protection Spain: anti-cruelty, animal use, zoo, use of animals for work, Ireland: genetic change, anti-cruelty Iran: anti-cruelty, wildlife protection South Korea: anti-cruelty, wildlife protection Macedonia: wildlife protection, anti-cruelty, genetic change Norway: animal experimentation, anti-cruelty Portugal: genetic change, anti-cruelty, wildlife protection Sweden: anti-cruelty, animal experimentation Serbia: animal experimentation, killing animals, anti-cruelty UK: genetic change, anti-cruelty, animal experimentation The detail of the definitions can be found in ORIGINS OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS ANIMALS (OAA).
