Product Description

Product Description

Concern for animal welfare has recently increased and continues to increase in many countries. The topic is now an established part of the curriculum for students of agriculture and veterinary medicine. This book is a response to this growing interest. It brings together diverse approaches to the subject, from philosophy through scientific study and measurement, to the implementation of practical solutions to real problems. The contents combine selected readings with commentaries from experts in different fields. Thus most chapters are reviews built around key sources, rather than articles with references in support. While more information is available on farm animals than on other groups, the principles are equally applicable to all animals. Written by leading authors from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, the book is aimed at a wide readership, including students, research workers and interested professional and lay people in animal science, veterinary medicine and applied zoology and psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars a straightforward yet informative read, 16 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This book proved an essential aid to my MSc in animal behaviour and welfare. With comprehensive chapters on ethics, motivation, legislation and the various aspects of animal suffering, this book combines subjectivity and objectivity to provide a thoroughly integrative read.

Although primarily focussing on farm animals, this edition covers zoo and laboratory animals in basic detail. The separate chapters are written by different authors, all with different perspectives and styles of writing. With this in mind, this book provides a balanced, critical, up-to-date perspective of animal welfare.

All in all, this book provides the student with the ideal introductory read and the average non-acedemic with a very interesting piece of literature. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the field of animal welfare and also people involved with animals such as farmers, scientists and animal technitions.
