The Welfare of Animals is an exciting book that will stimulate and
provoke its readers. It describes many problems faced by animals -
those we use for food, for pleasure or in research, and those
simply but harshly affected by shrinking habitats in the face of
the ever-growing human population. And yet it is not a depressing
read. It focuses not only on the difficulties that animals face,
but on their capacity for free-choice, for joy and excitement, and
on the possible ways in which the planet can be shared between
species if only we take the time and trouble to think more
carefully about the impact of our actions. Clive Phillips moved
from the United Kingdom to take up a Foundation Chair in Animal
Welfare at the University of Queensland, becoming Australia's first
Professor of Animal Welfare in 2003. This cultural leap, combined
with his travels in countries like Malaysia and Borneo, permits him
the unique and broad perspective that forms the backbone of this
book. Eschewing the normal territory patrolled by the animal
scientist (explaining the physiological basis of the stress
response or causation of abnormal behaviour), Clive ventures into
jungles and deserts, city centres and tribal homelands, and
presents a book that remarkably and successfully combines
travel-diary, nature notes, social and cultural history.
