This volume reviews the broad topic of welfare in nonhuman primates
under human care. Chapters detail the history of primates in
captivity, ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of nonhuman
primates as entertainment or in research, the different approaches
that welfare are measured, and how housing, enrichment, and other
conditions can foster or degrade welfare. Since humans began
keeping nonhuman primates we have made vast strides in
understanding their cognitive abilities, strong social bonds,
vibrant personalities, and their capacity for joy and suffering.
With an increasing number of countries banning the use of great
apes in biomedical research, the welfare of primates in zoos and
research facilities has gained increasing attention. This
interdisciplinary work features contributors from many of the
fields involved and those on both sides of the issue, thus
providing an exhaustive overview of primate welfare. Readers from
animal welfare science, primatology, animal testing, veterinary
medicine, conservation to ethics and legislation will find this an
important account.
