Animal Labor is an academic construct that refers to the systematic engagement of non-human animals in purposeful, human-directed activities wherein their physical or cognitive capacities are instrumentalized within social, economic, or cultural systems, distinguishing it from other human-animal interactions by its focus on structured, effort-based contributions under human governance.
