The best practices for promoting humane treatment of animals include avoiding animal testing when possible, providing adequate and comfortable living spaces, meeting animal nutritional needs, ensuring ethical treatment of animal handlers, and providing opportunities for positive reinforcement. Additionally, striving to reduce the total number of animals used in research or other activities should be a priority. Other best practices include adhering to transportation standards that minimize stress for shipped animals, providing natural environments whenever feasible for enclosures or housing systems and making sure their temperature is maintained in a comfortable range. Ensuring safe waste disposal methods is also important for proper care. Lastly but perhaps most importantly, organizations should establish a humane review process that evaluates procedures from an animal welfare standpoint to ensure protocols are scientifically reliable while safeguarding against unnecessary suffering of any kind
