| Freedom from discomfort is one of the [[Five Freedoms]], a set of standards established to ensure the well-being of animals. These freedoms were first articulated by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) in the United Kingdom in 1965 and have since been adopted by animal welfare organizations worldwide. Freedom from discomfort refers to the absence of physical or environmental conditions that cause pain or discomfort to an animal.

| Animals have the right to live without experiencing pain, injury, or disease. Freedom from discomfort means that animals should be provided with a living environment that is free from unnecessary physical discomfort, such as overcrowding, extreme temperatures, or lack of proper ventilation. Animals should be able to move about freely, lie down comfortably, and engage in natural behaviors without suffering.

| To ensure freedom from discomfort, animals should be provided with adequate shelter, nutrition, and veterinary care. Proper shelter should protect animals from extreme weather conditions and provide them with enough space to move around comfortably. Good nutrition is also essential to the well-being of animals, as it helps maintain their health and prevents the development of diseases. Finally, regular veterinary care is important for preventing and treating illnesses or injuries that may cause discomfort to animals.
