Some of the best practices for promoting humane treatment of animals include avoiding animal testing, choosing cruelty-free products, supporting businesses and organizations that prioritize animal welfare, educating oneself and others on the issue, volunteering at animal shelters or sanctuaries, donating to charities that help animals, speaking up for animals when faced with cruelty or injustice, advocating for policies that protect animals’ rights and providing positive reinforcement when interacting with them.
   
In terms of living conditions for animals kept as pets, it is recommended to provide them with clean housing; appropriate bedding; nutritious diets consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables alongside suitable protein sources such as raw food diets; opportunities to exercise and play; appropriate environmental enrichment such as shelves, perches and items they can explore; social interaction with other companions or humans where suitable; access to veterinary care if needed; sufficient space both indoors and outdoors depending on the species (indicative minimum requirements should always be provided); protection from extremes in temperature, weather changes & UV radiation. Furthermore it is important not to make unnecessary Confinements or use tools/equipment causing any type of discomfort/injury – such restraints should ONLY be used only if absolutely necessary & without excessiveness.  Moreover adequate maintenance also needs to be ensured – including frequent checks (eg daily) towards cage cleanliness & bedding level adjustments etc., regular vet check ups + provisioned health plans where applicable - together forming part off overall Good Animal Practices / Welfare Systems

The most effective ways to ensure humane treatment of animals are to educate the public and raise awareness, support legislation for animal rights, advocate for changes in industry standards that involve animal testing or harmful practices, and financially support organizations which advocate and promote sustainable, ethical practices. Research suggests that being an informed and aware consumer plays a crucial role in protecting animals’ welfare. Additionally you can voice your concern by boycotting companies whose methods of testing on animals are not humane or taking other non-violent actions towards creating change.
