ANIMAL WELFARE

By John Webster

1994, Blackwell Science, UK

This book discusses the environmental requirements of farm animals, laboratory animals, wild animals and pets: their response to pain, injury and death: behaviour and aggression: and the implications of biotechnology and genetic engineering. It also tries to reconcile reverence for life with the inescapability of  killing and reviews the prospects of preserving and enhancing the quality of life for animals through legislation, education and moral incentives.
