The research investigated the attitudes of veterinary medicine educators towards animal welfare. Specifically, it aimed to assess the respondents demographic profile such as age, gender, monthly income, religiosity and civil status; and to determine if there is significant relationship between demographic profiles and attitudes of veterinary medicine educators towards animal welfare.

Selected veterinary medicine schools within the Philippines were the target schools, and veterinarians who teach veterinary medicine students were the respondents. Only the full-time teachers were recruited as the respondents and do not include part-time teachers.

Descriptive correlation survey type was used to analyze the data and evaluate the influence of demographic profile to the attitudes of the respondents towards welfare of animals. The survey questionnaires were sent through snail mail to assess the attitudes of veterinary medicine educators towards welfare of animals.

The results of this study revealed that most of the respondents were 41-45 years of age (33.71%). There were more male (55.62%) than female (44.38%). Many of the respondents had P20,000 and below monthly income (40.45%), but most of them do not answer this item (50.56%). Many of them were married (67.98%) and considered themselves moderately religious (69.1%).

The results in this study also revealed that the demographic profile of the respondents has a relationship and effect on their attitudes towards welfare of animals.

On the average, female veterinary medicine educators who are older, single and who consider themselves moderately to very religious were the ones more concerned with regards to animal welfare.
