4. Vietnam
Score – 86
Vietnam may not currently recognize animal sentience, but there’s a draft of the Veterinary Law that’s currently being discussed and that could be implemented in the near future. Things are looking up in Vietnam too, as there’s some legislation regarding animals used in farming, looking for their welfare. There are also protections in place for animals in captivity, as well as for wild animals. There is, however, no legislation regarding the protection of companion animals.
