Summary
This book is a response to the growing interest and the 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. 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.
