Exploration of the socio-personal landscape of veterinary students and scientists is imperative not only for understanding individual motivations and behaviors but also for informing educational practices, professional development initiatives, and policy decisions aimed at enhancing animal well-being. The present study was conducted to ascertain the socio personal antecedents of the 50 veterinary students and 50 scientists of Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences located in Hisar, Haryana which were chosen randomly. Thus, total 100 respondents were selected. The study revealed that mean age of respondents was towards younger side. Veterinary students were having more pets as compared to scientists. Most of the respondents were flexitarians. The respondents were having medium to high conscientiousness and extraversion scores. They scores moderately in terms of religiousness and economic motivation and their belief in animal mind was documented moderate. Further studies are advocated to explore the antecedent’s variables of veterinary students and scientists for improving animal welfare.
