A total of N = 5027) questionnaires were administered in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the USA. Brazilians showed higher and Chinese lower levels of perceived animal sentience. In Russia and India, the perception of suffering and sentience increases with age, with similar levels to those observed in the USA. In all the countries, more people agreed than disagreed that animals are sentient. Men in India show higher levels of agreement with the relation between eating meat and animal suffering, followed by women in Brazil and China. Lower levels of agreement are observed in Americans and Chinese. Women show higher levels of compassion than men. In Russia, there is a slightly higher level of agreement between men and in the USA younger men agree more. Young American men show higher levels of agreement, while in India and China age has the opposite effect. For fair trading competition, it is important to standardize procedures and respect the demand for both animal protein and its ethical production. Overall, our results showed that perceptions of farm animal sentience and suffering vary substantially across countries and demographic groups. These differences could have important consequences for the perceived ethicality of meat production and consumption, and for global trade in animal products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani12233416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T04:10:02Z","timestamp":1670213402000},"page":"3416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Perceptions of Farm Animal Sentience and Suffering: Evidence from the BRIC Countries and the United States"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5687-7114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Mata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Development in Agri-Food Systems and Sustainability, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo, 4900-367 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Bastian","family":"Jaeger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Psychology, Tilburg University, 5037 AB Tilburg, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Ivo","family":"Domingues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Sociais, Universidade do Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Estudos de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e Sociedade, Universidade do Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1007\/s10441-011-9123-3","article-title":"A history of animal welfare science","volume":"59","author":"Broom","year":"2011","journal-title":"Acta Biotheor."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Farm Animal Welfare Council (2022, March 18).
