A face-to-face national survey in Taiwan was conducted to reflect the influence of animal welfare legislation on attitudes of the public ( n = 1,099) towards animal welfare. Greater awareness and knowledge of the law correlated with a better attitude towards and preference for relevant animal protection issues in respondents. The lack of knowledge on animal welfare concepts, animal welfare products, and related labels among respondents appears to hinder the development of better animal welfare. Thus, promoting a better understanding of the law is fundamental and necessary. Improving animal welfare in Taiwan requires promotion of animal welfare concepts and markets in society not only through legislation, but also through education and implementation of better animal welfare policies
