Summary:

This book is a response to the growing interest in and need for consolidated literature on animal welfare. It brings together diverse approaches to the subject, from philosophy through scientific study and measurement, to the implementation of practical solutions to real problems. Combining selected readings with critical commentaries, most chapters are reviews built around key sources, rather than articles with references in support. Equally applicable to all animals and written by leading authors from Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand, the book is aimed at a wide readership from interested lay people and students to research workers and professionals in the fields of animal science, veterinary medicine, and applied zoology and psychology.
