Application of Neutrosophic Correlation in the Identification of Deficiencies in Animal Protection

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of neutrosophic logic in identifying gaps and areas for improvement in animal protection in Ecuador. The methodology employed was exploratory and relied on the experience and knowledge of experts in the field of animal protection. It was framed within a qualitative perspective, adopting a descriptive and exploratory design to comprehend and analyze deficiencies in animal protection in Ecuador. The results of this research allowed for the identification of the most significant areas for improvement in animal protection in Ecuador through the definition of the gaps with the greatest impact on the study subject. Deficiencies related to the lack of protocols for animal rescue and inadequate enforcement of sanctions stood out as the most severe and impactful on animal welfare. The use of neutrosophic logic enabled a precise evaluation and quantification of deficiencies in animal protection. Its application is recommended in future research in the field to obtain a more accurate understanding of the situation.
