Wild animal suffering is about harms to the wellbeing of animals living in the wild. This is frequently confused with the ways species, populations of animals, or ecosystems can be affected. These are entities, not individuals who can feel and suffer. In this video, you'll hear about the meanings of "wild animal suffering" and related terms.   

This is part of module 1 of our course about wild animal suffering. In this course, you'll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild.
