Animal Welfare An Accessible Overview of the Concept of Sentience
Throughout the Animal Kingdom and Why It Matters to Humans Animal
Welfare explores the concept of sentience and the development of
sentient minds throughout the animal kingdom. The work provides
improved definitions and analysis of the ideas of sentience,
cognition, and consciousness, along with evidence of advanced
mental formulation in birds, fish, and invertebrates.
Considerations between humans and animals are also discussed, such
as outcome-based ethics in relation to humans' duties of care and
the rights and wrongs of domestication. The work is divided into
three parts and covers key topics such as: Specifics of animal
sentience, from pain and suffering, to fear and dread, all the way
to animals' social life and the comfort/joy/hope/despair they
experience What we know about the sentience of different classes of
animals in the waters, air, savannah/plains, and forests
Considerations on human interactions based on animal sentience,
including death (killing), animal farms, animals in laboratories,
wild animals in captivity, and animals in sports and entertainment
Analysis on what humans can learn from animals based on what we
know about their varying levels of sentience Animal Welfare serves
as an invaluable analysis of animal sentience for students,
teachers, and professionals directly involved in the study,
teaching, and applications of animal behavior, motivation, and
welfare. Thanks to the wide-ranging implications of animal
sentience, the work will also appeal to everyone with a broader
interest in animal behavior and human/animal interactions.
