There has been a recent explosion of active concern in matters of
animal welfare. The science behind animal welfare has progressed
significantly, new codes of practice and legislation have come into
to being, and innovative methods to assess welfare schemes for food
production have emerged.
Part of a major animal welfare series, Animal Welfare: Limping
Towards Eden is John Webster's new and groundbreaking work on
animal welfare. Building on his first book, the highly acclaimed
Animal Welfare: A Cool Eye Towards Eden, it not only critically
reviews areas of development, but looks to how animal welfare can
be improved in the future.
Special consideration is given to: Defining animal welfare ('fit
and happy') and establishing a systematic approach for its
evaluation (the 'five freedoms');Providing a sound ethical
framework that affords proper respect to animals within the broader
context of our duties as citizens to the welfare of
society;Developing comprehensive, robust protocols for assessing
animal welfare and the provisions that constitute good
husbandry;Introducing an education policy that will increase human
awareness of animal welfare problems and promote action to reduce
suffering.
This book is part of the UFAW/Wiley-Blackwell Animal Welfare

between UFAW (The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare), and
Wiley-Blackwell provides an authoritative source of information on
worldwide developments, current thinking and best practice in the
