Abstract: Animal welfare and welfare management have recently risen to the forefront of the public's consciousness and political discourse. The methodology is based on the idea that animals ought to be treated as sentient creatures. The method in which animals are treated greatly depends on one's attitude towards animal welfare. Animal welfare's more recent elements are changing, and veterinary scientists have a significant impact on both animal productivity and welfare. About the attitudes of scientists and students towards animal welfare, no studies have been done in Haryana. So, an investigation was conducted in Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (LUVAS), Hisar, Haryana to assess the attitude favourableness of scientists and students towards animal welfare. Out of all the faculty members of LUVAS, a sample of 50 faculty members was chosen using simple lottery method. Similarly, a random sample of ten students from each class of the LUVAS (1–5 years) B.V.Sc. and A.H. programme was selected. The Animal Attitude Scale, created by Herzog et al., was used to gauge the attitude (1991). It was found that both staff members and students generally had favourable attitude regarding animal welfare.
